My Family


This is my family. We're a wife, a husband, a dog. We are also a dog trainer, an assistant manager, a beloved pet. We are best friends, partners in crime, and totally happy. We are a family.
Charlie follows me from room to room as I work on my computer in the office, watch TV in the living room, do dishes in the kitchen, and also when I go to the bathroom. He doesn't expect anything special to happen as he follows me around, he just wanders in after me and lays down in an adjacent spot. He does this little sigh and usually goes to sleep, but doesn't seem to mind if I only spend a few minutes in one room before going to another. He just wants to be with me.
I find that I also do this with Robert. If he goes into the kitchen to make a protein smoothie (ew...) I follow him in. If he goes in our bedroom to talk to someone on his phone, I follow him. If he's watching TV, I sit next to him on the couch. Even if we are both doing something completely different, I feel better if I'm close to him. I am so happy being with Rob and Charlie. They are my big man and my little man, my best friends, and my family.
