We saw him in a crate for adoption at Gebo’s. He was shaking and was wearing a necktie. No one showed interest in him and this was his third time there. When Gail saw those big brown eyes, she fell in love with him and wanted to adopt him. Charlie asked “are you sure??” and Gail said “Yes!”, so he snuggled in her arms and we took him home. We had 5+ years with him, and they were wonderful. During that time, he taught us many things: Get up early in the morning to watch the sun rise, Enjoy the sun every day, Eat your meals on a regular schedule, Don’t stay out in the cold rain, And take a very brisk walk every day.

Caleb was a real lover and reminded us to be loyal to those who love you, show your love to others every day, meet new people and find friends, and take care of your neighbors. He found joy in life and told us to travel everywhere as much as we can, learn to play and laugh, find joy in every day, and enjoy treats! He always was grateful for what we could give him, and taught us to be Thankful for a safe warm home and regular meals and Reminded us “when you are afraid, remember that someone is ALWAYS with you.” He taught us that it is important To sing every day, Look at the stars each night… or just look up, Remember family time – family is most important, Take naps, and Remember to enjoy weekends – He did! Finally, he reminded us to ALWAYS KEEP YOUR PROMISES, ESPECIALLY TO THOSE THAT YOU LOVE AND WHO LOVE YOU!!!
