Day 16 #dogstrustadvent #decemeberphotochallenge "by the tree" this photo is special to me, this is my lovely girl Charlie. I had Charlie from a puppy, her mum was a Welsh rescue. Charlie was born deaf however knew loads of tricks and had great recall! I don't know what she was as she was a Mongrel but I heavily suspect collie and Jack Russell. This was her last Christmas with us she died just two weeks after this photo was taken, she had cancer which we didn't know about. She died when she was 14.5 years old, at that point I'd had her for over half my life. RIP Charlie. #adogisforlife #adogisnotjustforchristmas #mongrel #mongrelofinstagram #fluffydog #fluffyears #bythetree #seniordog #deafdogsrock #deafdogofinstagram #deafdog #rip #chrismastree #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuedog #adoptdontshop
