Third Time’s A. Charm
We have had a lot of people wondering just who got our special girl – Absolute Charm.
Let me give a little background to her story first.
Absolute Charm’s new family has had a rough few years. The mother was diagnosed with a terminal neurological disease with no cure.

He is living at a boarding barn, which is also open to the public, so there is always a lot of activity. Started him the…
