Hi Friends –
Mom finally took a break from blabbering about Winsor and Newton Prussian Blue to allow me to get a word in edge wise! Shheeesh!
How have you all been?
Well…. enough about you…
Can you believe I have been in my new home three months now?
I am really settling in and feeling comfortable.
Comfortable enough to reach up onto the kitchen counter when something yummy smelling is within reach….
Comfortable enough to snag Dad’s soft and fluffy slipper and take out in the yard to play with and pull all the stuffing out of…
Comfortable enough to find my voice and “Rooooofff” when Mom isn’t quick enough to get her shoes on when she mentions we are going for a walk, and I have already waited an antagonizing 15-20 seconds…
Comfortable enough to grumble at Dad when he tries to roll over when I am snuggled up by his feet prohibiting him from moving in the middle of the night because I am cold and Mom and Dad’s bed is so much warmer than mine….
Comfortable enough for Mom to let me off my leash when I see my neighbor, Jim, so I can run to him and jump up and kiss him right on the lips because I am so happy to see him….
Comfortable enough to “drop it” when Mom tells me to – even though I want to play tug with my favorite toy…
Comfortable enough to wait patiently in the yard while Mom and Dad leave in their car and truck, watching the leaves blow until they come home again….
It’s a good life…
A dog’s life…
My life.
Woofs and Wags,
Charlie
Charlie, my man. You’re living large my friend. You have all the surrounding of a great life with caring and patient people around you. I think you need to write a how-to book for other dogs to learn from. trust me, it would be a best seller. Now you should go rest. I know tiring a dogs life can be..:)

Scooter agrees… except on that “drop it” thing. In Scooter language that means “play keep away”.

What a delightful narrative (story) about Charlie, this would make a wonderful photo illustrated children’s book.
Charlie is so handsome.
Have a great Saturday Jodi!

Oh Charlie, I think you should meet my Frances. I don’t know how you feel about ‘older women’ (she’s almost 9) but the two of you are so similar. She ‘roooofffs’ at me as well as soon as I pick up her leash and I can’t get ready fast enough. She’s not into slippers but she loves her mommy’s underwear (ew!) and she grumbles at both her mom and dad when she shares our bed or space on the couch and we move our feet. You’re both lucky dogs.

I agree with Sharon, a children’s book is a Magnificent idea; there is an enticing warmth and cleverness that enters the scene when “Charlie” is here… its a little bit of magic, that I have to say is just a wee bit addictive!!

Charlie O – I think you have a pretty good life too! Just need to talk your hubby Philippe into letting you eat red meat and any kind of chocolate you want and all the art supplies you “need”. THEN- – your life will be as perfect as mine! ❤ Charlie M.

Haha! Actually chocolate is always allowed because Philippe loves it so much. I’d rather have art supplies 😊

But – can Philippe bake chocolate chip cookies like my mom? She made them for my brother and a bunch of friends tonight who are still playing poker downstairs. They also got mini pumpkin pies and they are having beer? Do you like beer? I haven’t tried it yet. I think I am not old enough yet.
