Nothin' says Lovin'

... like something from the oven!

White Christmas?

It only snows here in Portland once or twice a year, so the odds of this happening are miniscule, but we looked out the window and...

IT'S SNOWING!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas, everypup and hammie and kitty and human, too!


Hope Santa Paws brings you lots of walks and belly rubs and good things to eat.

A Little Project

What'cha doin' Mom?

Can I help?

Hey, those are my cards.

And this one's definitely mine!

Oh... now I get it!! Coooool!

Thanks everypup!

8 More

In response to Lennie's tag, here are 8 more Charlie facts:

1. Charlie likes the kitties, but he likes them best when they run, so he can pursue. Vigorously. Very vigorously. Pouncer and Jessie seem to like him back, but they do creep around slowly when Charlie's near.

C'mon... run!

2. Charlie insists on holding paws with his favorite humans and paws them until they comply.

Test of wills

3. Charlie rarely gives kisses, but in the right mood will snuzzle and smoosh. And to be brutally honest, sometimes teeth get involved too.
4. When Charlie's extremely happy to see someone he loves, he gets all squinty. The corners of his mouth go up, his eyes close, and his tail wags in high gear.

Squinty-dog

5. Sometimes we use treats to lure Charlie back inside. I've come to suspect that Charlie, on the flip side, sometimes uses going outside to score treats.
6. Charlie drools. A lot. I once planned to do a post (with Hammer's help) called "Gundogs DROOL!" but was told that it would be too oogy.

Mr. Drooly-head

7. Although Charlie is afraid of the babygate, he has no such fear of the car dog barrier. Its bars are bent and it's had to be seriously reinforced and, despite all my efforts, Charlie finds a way through it. Just call him Houdini.
8. Charlie was born in Elletsville, Indiana -- about 5 miles from Bloomington, where Lennie and Charlie's sister Sophie (and Aunt Karen) live.

Now you pups tell us about yourselves!

The Blue Cuz

Gabbie favors the orange cuz (I think because its squeaker still works), but Charlie loves the blue dino cuz from Big Charlie.
