We hit a few more bumps in the road over the weekend. I’m trying really, really hard to stay positive and focus on the blessings around us during such a dark and frustrating time in our lives. Friday night Charlie started dry heaving really bad. We were up with him all night trying to comfort and calm …
Today Charlie turns 11! It’s hard to believe our little fur baby is slowing down (just a teeny bit) and is eating senior dog food these days. But outside of anxiety, allergies and dirty teeth, he is otherwise super healthy and happy. Charlie has seriously been the very best dog to us — he …
Charlie turned 70 on Saturday! And he still doesn’t look a day over three! To celebrate our original (fur) baby, we invited some friends over to drink mimosas, throw tennis balls, grill some burgers and of course, eat cake! It was the best pawty ever. The kiddos had an absolute blast running around the backyard …
Charlie is officially 63 dog years old! Saturday we celebrated. In all honesty, these past 10 months have been rather rough on our fur baby as he’s had a hard time adjusting to having a human sister and sharing our attention. Don’t get me wrong, he is sweet to Caroline and we are very thankful …
Over the weekend we celebrated Charlie’s 8th birthday! We had cake, pawty hats, presents and lots of outside play time. It was perfect. Year after year we order Charlies birthday cake from the best little dog bakery – Canine Cafe. We went with his favorite flavor…peanut butter! Since Charlie’s favorite toy is a tennis ball, …
Yesterday we celebrated Charlie’s 7th birthday! Gosh, how time flies! It seems like it was just yesterday that we threw his 6th Birthday Pawty {post here}. After Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans during Matt’s final year of law school in New Orleans, Charlie’s parents were rescued from St. Charles Avenue. Soon thereafter, Charlie was born on …
I started making Charlie his dog treats about a year ago after learning of his food allergies. Not only do I think he prefers fresh cookies, making my own treats is a way to control the ingredients, fat, calories etc. I usually try and mix up the recipes a little bit, but this one is …

After 28 terrifying days, Matt and I are relieved to announce that we have witnessed a small miracle – our fur baby, Charlie, is well and cancer-free! It took me awhile to write about it on the blog because it has been such an excruciatingly painful experience – by far our most difficult trial in …
