Sometime in early 1995 Peggy thought we needed an addition to our family. 

After I regained consciousness, she clarified it be saying she wanted a dog. 
All well and good, but I didn't want a dog until we had our own house.

Lo and behold, in the last week of May, 1995, we move into a house.  The very next week, Peggy called and told me to pick up our new family member at the Humane Shelter. 

So that's when Chuck adopted us. 

As the following 10 years went by, he did nothing but bring joy, laughter and companionship to the both of us.  And to everyone who met him liked him right away too. 

We lost Chuck as a result of a fatal illness that claimed his life within a matter of a few days. 

But we will never forget him, the wonderful addition he became to our family and how much we miss him, even today.

And we both know that Chuck picked out the two guys that we now have because he knew we needed them just as much as they needed us.  Amazing what they really know, isn' it.
