The Adventures of Charlie: Chapter 9 - A Boys Best Friend

in #fiction7 years ago (edited)

Today Charlie is a whole four months old! He is losing is puppy features and these days he is looking more like, well, a dog! While his family misses him being a sweet little pup that couldn’t get up to much harm, they are now enjoying his personality that is starting to shine through – his big brother is especially thrilled at the fact that he can finally play his rough and tumble games with his precious pet!

Over the past few months, Charlie has formed a very special bond with his older human sibling. Together they have shared some good times, and bad times too. They love to play ball together and more recently, they have been practising their WWE moves together. This wrestling often ends in tears, but both little dudes seem to shake themselves off quickly and get right back to their antics again. 

Charlie’s brother really looks out for him, he always makes sure to sneak him a bite under the dinner table, and if he is put outside for some bizarre reason, the little guy opens the gate and lets him right back inside. At night they cuddle and make their way into dreamland together, just like best buds should. They also share each other’s snacks (yup), and every so often, Charlie jumps into the bath with his best bro – what a cadenza!

Boy oh boy do these two guys share adventures together! Just this week they went gallivanting around the park, exploring the river and trees, greeting passers-by with a wag of their tails (little human boys know how to be puppies too)! This adventure went a little wonky, when Charlie’s brother fell off the slide, crying out frantically because he got an “owie”. But, don’t fear…CHARLIE TO THE RESCUE! Charlie dashed towards his brother when he saw what happened and consoled him with wet kisses and nose nudges. The mini human soon settled down. “Phew, that was close!” Charlie thought.

The bond between this human and his pet is oh so sweet, in fact, it melts the larger humans’ hearts, or so they say. Dogs are definitely not only man’s best friend, they’re boy best friend too!
