Charlie and Chaplin went to live in their forever home on May 26, 2001. Their dad, Mark, sent the following message about their new life. 

Hello Everyone!  

 It has taken us a while to share our story with you about our new boys…they and their two new “sisters” have kept us quite busy AND entertained!  It’s hard to believe that it’s been 7 months already!  In the picture above, the patriotic cast includes, from left to right, Sugar, Charlie, Chaplin, and Misty.

We had the two girls for about 3 years when we just happened upon the Maltese Rescue website and saw Charlie and Chaplin.  Their story just tugged at our hearts and we felt that they needed a loving home with other Maltese dogs.  As it turns out, they were abandoned in the same county in which we live in Georgia.  Although Chaplin lost his right eye due to his plight, he is very healthy and has adjusted quite well to his vision impairment, but occasionally bumps into furniture.

The first meeting of Charlie and Chaplin with Sugar and Misty went extremely well!  They appeared as if they were going to get along blissfully.  But, it didn’t take long for the dynamics to start.  We think that Charlie is emerging as the Alpha dog.  They provide constant entertainment with a great variety of interactions.  When they are not chasing each other around the house or following us around, they are enjoying their favorite pastime:  major-league world-class sleeping on the bed!  They are professional snoozers!

Our sincere thanks to Carina and Andrea, and everyone at Atlantic Maltese Rescue, for allowing us to be the parents of our two new “tigers”.
