Charlie’s Memorial to the Indestructible Ball
I have to say I have had many pets in my life but none touched my heart as much as Charlie III. We had Charlie’s mother, Sheba, and his Aunt Sable. Both crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year.
Charlie was supposed to be my sons companion, however, when Charlie developed DM (Degenerative Myeolopathy) at the young age of 9, it was a difficult time. If you don’t know about DM it gradually decreases your pets ability to walk and have normal functions of the body. The first sign for Charlie was knuckle dragging of the hind end. He would still run and play, chase the balls, play with his toys and chase squirrels of, course.
I wanted to share the ball that Charlie loved to play with, because he still played with it while he was in his wheelchair. It had to be an indestructible ball as he was a very good chewer and ran things over with his wheelchair.
Unfortunately Charlie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge to be with his mom and his aunt so his ball has been passed down to his sister.
