A couple weeks ago, I found this little cutie wandering around the school where I teach and coach.
My first thought was that he escaped from one of the nearby houses, but after going door to door, this did not seem to be the case. One of the neighbors thought that someone may have dropped him off.
Since it was after 5 and there was a basketball game that night (meaning lots of traffic), I decided to take him home until I could figure out to whom he belonged.
I sent out an email at school and talked to the kids in my classes about him to see if anyone knew where he came from. When none of that was productive, Jason and I entertained the idea of keeping him.
It took a couple sleepless nights and a few too many accidents in the house coupled with Carter's diminishing spirits and tolerance for the little guy to realize that we aren't really in a place in our lives to properly care for a new puppy. We started asking around and finally posted him on Craigslist.
There was an overwhelming response to the Craigslist post that finally landed the pup, that we formerly referred to as "little dog," now Charlie, a new home.
A recently married medical student came by to meet us and Charlie. It was mutually love at first sight! She took him home to her husband to get his approval and called back to happily say they wanted to keep him.
Although we will miss Charlie's cuddling and playfulness, we are happy that he has a good home with people that are looking for the responsibility of being puppy parents!
We celebrated Charlie's new home at Downtown Uncorked with some Friday Night Flights and Port Chocolates!
