I wasn't an immediate disciple of Charlie when he first came unto us. It took a couple of weeks for me to pledge my unswerving fealty to my ten pound liege lord. I remember precisely when it occurred, and I'm still not totally sure why this moment was such a trigger for my devotion. It was late at night and we were housesitting/dog sitting for my mother-in-law. It was decided, much to my muttering and grumbling dismay, that Charlie needed a quick evening stroll so that he might relieve himself before settling in for a long winter's nap. After completing our mission and turning to head for home, we came to a street corner, and turned right, walking into another pedestrian with a dog about four times the size of our ten pound Charlemagne. The owner of the other dog desperately yanked back on the leash as his pet emitted a bark so thunderous it made me flinch. But Charlie didn't flinch. He didn't run. He stood his ground and roared right back, bracing himself for some kind of combat. If a canine can have a moment of Churchillian defiance, Charlie displayed it in full bellicose splendor for us out there on that darkened street corner. And it was in that moment that he converted me. As we leaped forward and grabbed up Charlie and carried him in all of his flailing fury down the street past the bully dog, I became Charlie's most staunch disciple. In that instant out on the street I saw what Charlie had contended with during his days on the street. It was like a James Earl Jones voice went off in my head, intoning, "WE GOTTA TAKE CARE OF THIS LITTLE GUY." We gotta take care of this little guy. He's vulnerable and he's adorable, and bad people and bad things are going to see him as an appetizer or some manner of sick entertainment. And we gotta protect him from all that. I think after cancer that protective instinct, that protective voice, got a lot louder and insistent in my head. You become more alert to the demons and depravity that can come rearing out of darkened corners, and you become more focused on shielding those precious to you, those who are especially vulnerable, from the perils lurking in the shadows. And that's how without saying a word, Charlie enlisted my devotion to his cause.
