charlotte 300x225 Charlotte Hunter  (2004   2010)We are in state of com­plete shock and dis­may in announc­ing the recent and unex­pected pass­ing of our won­der­ful friend Char­lotte (a.k.a Char­lotta, Lottie).

Char­lotte , joined The Orig­i­nal Dog House in Octo­ber 2004 (one of our very first mem­bers) as a happy, ram­bunc­tious and mis­chie­vous 9 month old puppy.

This girl was always very spe­cial, she had the incred­i­ble abil­ity to per­form numer­ous mis­chie­vous acts and yet she knew how to walk away with­out being seen and there was always some­one else nearby who would take the fall for her. Even­tu­ally, we (the humans) real­ized that Char­lotte was very smart and that we had to be a lit­tle smarter.

There is no ques­tion, Char­lotte was taken away too soon from her beloved Mom & Dad (Anne & Don) not to men­tion her younger sis­ter Stella.

All the staff at The Orig­i­nal Dog House joins David in extend­ing our most sin­cere con­do­lences to Anne & Don for the untimely loss of their won­der­ful Charlotte .

 Rest in Peace girl, I will always remem­ber you with a big smile on my face because you were truly one of the most won­der­ful dogs I have ever met.

 With Love from your Friend
