For all of you that have followed and enjoyed The Charlie Project, I thank you...your wonderful comments and support have meant the world to me. In an effort to simplify life, I will no longer be posting here on The Charlie Project blog...but I will be continuing my other blog, Finding Sirius - a blog about life with Sophie (my own border collie) and what she teaches me along the way - and as I continue to meet and photograph the many beautiful dogs in this world, I will be including those posts on Finding Sirius, as Charlie Project tribute posts. I hope some of you will choose to keep visiting me there and even join as a follower. To those of you where this is where we will part ways, thank you for recognizing the wonder and joy that these delightful creatures bring into the world and I hope your life continues to always be touched by dog love.

within her soul, she carries the essence...

of the four elements...earth, air, water and fire.

i see his playful heart....

but most of all i see not just a dog ....

but a cherished family member.

he celebrates with his family in good times...

he is a source of comfort during tougher times...

one look into his eyes and you can see....

his soul breathes love.

sometimes you can't help...

but see beyond the dog...

to the grace and the spirit....

of the athlete that lies within.

she lives the life of a gentle giant....

...with a strength that comes not from her size....

...but from the sincerity of her intentions....

...and from the pure goodness of her heart.

with his puppy years far behind him...

...his step was calm and sure.

he knew his place in this world....

...he knew his place in her heart.

i may follow in the pawprints of one who came before me...

but i never walk in the shadow of her ghost.....

for the human heart has enough love...

for past and present...for both of us.

(the pawprints radar walks in belong to charlie)

his sweet nature was undeniable....

a ray of summer sunshine...

wrapped up in the prancing of four paws...

and one never-stop-wagging tail.

sometimes you meet a dog...

whose simple presence....

is not seen, but felt with the heart.

intensity does not come...

from your mind...

it comes from your soul.

There had been times in his life…

….when his body was weakened…

…but that was when...

...his spirit was the strongest.

she posed under the guise of perfect obedience....

...but the smile on her face gave away her secret:

...the presence of a heart...

...that belongs to an untamed lion.
