Charlie Dog

Wake Up Puppy it's time to Play!

Hello Shaved-Puppy, I am Happy to See You!

Our Furry Ragamuffin Puppy (pre-today's haircut)

Our Ragamuffin Puppy is getting his haircut today.

It's sad but it's time.

How do I know it's time? The Demand for vacuuming has increased dramatically, and yesterday when I took the pup out to play in the snow he couldn't see the snowballs i was throwing for him.

Skyler jokes that he feels like he has two different dogs. One soft and cuddly shaggy dog, and One short haired wildly playful dog. And it's very true.

So with a little bit of sadness, I took my time enjoying the finally hours of our soft and cuddly puppy. 

I love his wild red curls and soft blonde face, even his beady-goatee makes me laugh. And funnily enough, I find myself wondering if my children will ever have hair as pretty as Charlie's. :) 

So goodbye Shaggy Puppy, we'll see you in 3-4 months

Is it raining at your house too?

We've all had a most needed and wonderful nap today.

Peek-a Boo Kitty

Back in Holliday, our neighbor's cat was very very friendly. She'd peek over the balcony at me and if I said hi she'd come down and want to be pet. One time she even tried to go inside with me...I don't know how Charlie would have felt about that. 

Happy Saturday!

If you fall asleep on my couch... this is what you wake up to

This is the look I get from Charlie when I have have been working too hard...

Thanks Pup for reminding me life is more than what's on the computer screen. 

A Good Dog Christmas

So my sweet, thoughtful, awesome Mom made Charlie the cutest Christmas Present. We love our dog, he's one of the family and I thought it was so beyond sweet that my mom gave him a gift just like the other grandkids, and such a great one too! She put the letters on the bucket herself.

It was such a nice gift and Charlie loved it. He got so excited. He took out each ball one at a time, chewing on it for a minute before drving in for the next one. (Yeah, he's obsessed with tennis balls)

So, To Nana from Charlie : THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! RUFF!

An Extreme Before and After

BEFORE . . .

Before and After . . .

AFTER . . .

What a difference a haircut can make. It's almost like he's a whole new dog. He definitely has a little skip in his step. After all the times we played in the snow, the matts were out of control, so we got charlie's spring haircut a little early. When we brought him home our neighbor wouldn't believe it was the same dog. Not "couldn't" but "wouldn't", he was in denial that our puffy dog was gone. I think he looks cute boths ways, but now he's running around naked. :)
