Hi! I’m Charlie Kappes. I’m 11 years old and a Schnauzer. That’s a picture of me and my mamma. I love my mamma. She is a writer so she gets to stay at home with me all day. She hasn’t left my side since she had to make the very hard decision to have my leg amputated to get rid of the nasty cancer. It’s been kinda hard on me since I love to take daily walks even when my mamma doesn’t want to. Unfortunately, I got an abscess and we are doing everything we can to get me better.
Here is the abscess hole. My staples are out and that looks good!
How embarrasing that I’m wearing a diaper. Thank goodness I can’t take a long walk because my girlfriends, Shady, would see me and I think I better get better before I visit her. She’s a looker. Black lab and gorgeous.
Then when I didn’t think it could get much worse, my mamma makes me wear this! I’m a dude! She’s killing me!
I’m really lucky though! Some of my mamma’s readers sent me these toys in the mail!! I can’t wait until I’m up and at ’em! That octopus really wants me to tear out that squeaker!!!
Aws. Hey Charlie! Get better soon! You’re worrying your mamma to death.
Hi Charlie,
You are a very brave guy. I know that you are just beginning to heal from your surgery and you must be very tired.
You have many great times and fun adventures ahead of you. Please come back often to share pictures as you get better.
Love,
Teri
