Charlie has been quite the project for us. We love and adore him but he is a stubbern little boy. I have also started taking Charlie to the dog park which has been pretty entertaining, and a great release of energy every morning. He thinks he's the gate keeper and sits at the door and greets every person and dog and sizes up who he wants to play with. He's grown quite fond on smaller fluffy dogs. Not good when they come with "small fluffy dog" type owners, (they can get freaked out by charlie's wild side) but he has made some friends. Everyoene in the building loves to make comments on his progress which is nice to hear he has stopped freaking everyone out, and the maintence guy tells me he looks bigger every few weeks, which freaks me out that hes really a puppy doberman pinscher....haha. He's my little buddy and we love him dearly. Even through all our drama with young charles, we want to get a friend for him to play with in the near future. haha.
