Charles Baxter Romero, “Charlie”, at two years old was considered unadoptable due to his advanced escape artist skills. However, Caitlyn fell in love with him as he managed to get out of his cage at the local shelter, running past the worker and into her arms. He was one of the original gangsters and has always been our baby and best friend. Charlie celebrated his 19th birthday, and then, over the last months decided he would like to go join his siblings in the ever after. Last night, we were able to hold him in our arms as the angels greeted him on the other side. He will always be loved. And we miss him so much already. The tears are hard, but we know that he is playing with the ones who went before, and we are so happy for him and grateful for all the beautiful memories. Special thank you to Animal Emergency & Specialty Center in Parker for their compassion gift of peaceful transition and to Aurora Animal Hospital for their care of all our babies over the years with loving kindness.
