CODA'S CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
August 2002 - November 2011
Sire: GV CH Mar Haven's Color Guard OFA, ROM
Dam: CH Coda's Precocious of Chablis OFA, ROM, TC
Breeders/Owners: Jon & Sharon Polifrone
I had to say farewell to my Charlie due to DM. This was my first experience
with DM - what a horrible disease. After much success as a puppy (winning
numerous Best Puppy awards, except when his sister, Chickie Baby was entered,
when he would take BOP!!), he did not grow into his promise as a show dog.
As he matured, I heard more than one "Oh, he's just a pet..." comments in a
dismissive, derogatory voice aimed in his direction. Well, this "just pet"
was my constant companion, a balm to my soul on many occasions, and never
failed to give more love than he got - and that was almost infinite. Okay, I
made him into a "mama's boy", but we both cherished that relationship.
Everyone who met Charlie was captured by his sweetness and gentleness, and when
he
let me know it was time to let him go, the vet's office was filled with
people who wanted to say good-bye. His dam, Cokie, and her sister, Ludy, (now
almost 12) have outlived Charlie and I am so glad to still have them, along
with two of Cokie's other progeny by different sires, but there is a huge hole
in my heart where Charlie was - the tears just won't stop. Good-bye my
sweet, kind, loving pet.
