IT'S ABOUT ME, MY BOYS AND A LITTLE CRAFTING THROWN INTO THE MIX!
Since the remodeling of the boys’ bedrooms meant finding a place for all their belongings, Charlie has been introduced to things she had no idea were in our house.
Take the Hermit Crabs…
Her first spotting of the crabs. Complete bewilderment.
The crabs were walking around and she kept her nose right at the cage. She even started to whine!
Finally, she relaxed, but didn’t take her eyes off those crabs!
What a good watch dog!
Jason loves his Charlie. She will actually lay in his lap for a belly rub! 
What I don’t understand is later he will state, “I am covered in dog hair! How does that happen?!”
Charlie has been enjoying this wonderful warm weather by sitting out on our screen in porch.
Since it has been warm, everything has and is melting into one big sloppy muddy mess. Which means Charlie runs through the big sloppy muddy mess, which makes her a big sloppy muddy mess.
So I am happy that Charlie is content with watching the outside from the inside for the time being. I leave the screen door open so she can go in and out as she wants! Super bonus for her!
Except, I found a big black yucky beetle in her water bowl which is right by the opened door. So, we may need to change her porch time up a bit….
I started to notice how when one of us would leave the house, Charlie would run from the garage door (where we just walked out) to the front window and look out. Was she actually watching our cars drive down the lane?
So the other day when I left, she was at the garage door. When I was driving up the lane, I stopped to see if Charlie was in the window watching me leave…
And sure enough, I spotted her little face in the window watching me leaving her behind.
jack has a fun challenge game that sits on our coffee table called Shoot the Moon. The concept is to balance the silver ball on the poles and try to drop it into the Saturn cup. It’s A LOT harder than it looks. I’ve only been able to get to Jupiter two times.
When Jack plays, Charlie is always by his side, eyeing that little silver ball.
Then Charlie had an idea…
She went and got her favorite red ball and placed it on the poles. It was much easier to get to Saturn with a larger ball!
At times, I like to lay down in my bed and read.
Sometimes Charlie joins me for her afternoon nap.
She like to let me know she has arrived.
And then she passes out. Across my body.
Which is fine…until I have to go to the bathroom.
I have had post prepared for the week, but I did not schedule them correctly! Sorry about you missing such important information for the first two days of the week! My apologies!! Please read on so you can be updated on a happening at our house!
So, I have been trying to exercise…again. I like to work out at home for many reasons, but one reason I don’t like to work out at home, is a cute four legged busy body…Charlie.
When I am doing “floor work” she thinks it’s time to wrestle or lay on top of me or lick my face or take over my yoga mat or…the list goes on. So I must block her from interrupting my important work out session.
But wait…let’s take a close look at her face. Yep, she is laughing at me while doing yoga!
She sits there the entire time and just laughs. Just because my down dog doesn’t’ look like hers, she should be encouraging and not making fun.
I must share that Charlie is not the easiest dog to get a picture of. She isn’t patient and as soon as I get the camera ready, she is off, looking over her shoulder saying, “Who has time for that?!”
A gal that I know has two dogs that are the most photogenic dogs!! I am not kidding. Her dogs look like the ones straight our of the Pottery Barn magazine! Seriously…check them out!
And here is my dog!
Yep. That’s how she sits! She put her bum in the air and lays her head down! Someone asked if she was twerking!
I’ve accepted that there’s room for improvement…or she fits right in the our funny little family!
I found Charlie had gathered all her bones to the area where she lays.
She had arranged them in this manner, because I asked, “Who organized Charlie’s bones! ?” Everyone came to look at them, so I knew the boys weren’t involved.
Charlie, we decided, is a perfectionist. Sam and I were excited to see someone else liked to be organized!
Charlie’s previous owner had a picture of her when Charlie was a puppy.
It cracks me up, because it looks like Charlie’s full grown head placed on a puppy body!
YAY!! Charlie grew into her head!
