Jackie: The Burger King Puppy!

In 2004 my daughter and her boyfriend saw  an Airedale puppy somewhere and decided Stevie (my daughter) needed a puppy. So home they came and started talking about how we needed a dog. The next day Stevie and I went to a small sidewalk festival in South Tampa. We were in a shop and here comes a man and a puppy. Well..it was the wiggliest 3 month old Airedale puppy and the cutest thing I had ever seen.

So with that I was on the hunt for a puppy. Knowing nothing about them except they didn't shed. Found a breeder about 45 minutes away and went off to see the puppies that were there. My husband said before we left only to get a female. That's what he wanted. 

Stevie and I arrived at this trailer on about 5 acres and a few fenced areas with a very large male Airedale just barking and barking and barking at us. The female was in a small pen. The babies had just been fed. They were all over the place and we were picking them up and holding them trying to decide which female we wanted to take home. I saw this puppy lying on a small cemented area and he was so full he could barely move. He rolled over and looked at me and I saw him (to me) looking like he was wearing the "Burger King Crown" and his belly was sooooo full I had to go over and pick him up. This little dog with the "Burger King Crown" put his paws around my neck and held me as though to say "take me with you, I'm the dog for you". He hugged me and hugged me! 

I looked at my daughter and said this is the one we are taking. She said dad wants a female. I replied back with he didn't come with us and I'm taking this one!! My husband got over his want for a female and fell in love the Airedale that was to be named "Charlie". He will always be wearing that "Burger King Crown" in my eyes and I'll never forget how he picked me with the best hug I've ever had in my life!!!!
