Charlie Gets a Callback

After an earlier audition with Uncle Ben, Charlie got a callback to try jamming together!


Will the other band members accept him? Will he get the gig? Stay tuned...

Waiting...

"Now?"
"Now?"
"How about now?"
"Yippee, she's here at last!!"
"Now I'm happy!"

But thinner and with more hair...

Like Bella the Boxer and Big Charlie and Opy, Charlie took the Dogster Celebrity Quiz, but with rather different results.


"Green through and through, Charlie is super-careful about how he marks his territory and goes out of his way to cover his tracks. Though Charlie is a lover and not a fighter, he won't stray from your side when trouble flashes its ugly fangs. Not bothered by superfluous detail, Charlie can be counted on to report back to you with the facts at hand, no matter how nasty they may be. Not one to rely on his top-notch genes and breeding, scratching and clawing his way to the top is Charlie's modus pawperandi."

Yep, that's my Charlie! Now I just have to clear off the mantel so there's room for the Nobel, Oscar, and international Emmy I'll be expecting him to bring home!

Charlie "Plays" Haydn

Definitely Allegro Molto. And so's the music. ;)


Cello Concerto #1 in C Major, 3rd Movement

Duet

Uncle Ben is visiting, and Charlie thinks he's wonderful! He's been singing every night for Ben, and last night he finally worked up his courage to try a duet. I think he heard that Ben's band, Blackwater Collective, is moving to town and is trying to wangle an audition!

Wooooooooooo...

Spring Poem

Daffodils are yellow
Camelias are red
If I squish mom's tulips
I'm gonna be...

...SORRY!

  

Hey Gabbie!

...wanna play "Chase"?!





Woooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! This is my idea of FUN!

Dog on Duty

No one will ever sneak up on this house with Charlie on guard.

Hey, That's Not a Stick!

Mom to the Rescue - Part II

Then there's the problem of the ears. The best stuff being at the bottom, who wants to lick the boring sides clean first so your ear fur doesn't drag in it?


Not Charlie, that's for sure!!


So, again... Mom to the rescue!

He's so focused, I'll bet I could clean the inside of that ear without him even noticing.

Mom to the Rescue!

Charlie loves to lick things out.


But there are some downsides...


I'm sure he could just lick his nose clean... but he won't. He'd much rather rub it on the carpet. So...

Mom to the rescue!


"Ptoooey!!"

Why We Call Him "Pokey Nose"

Snow?!

Just kidding!


It's raining flower petals!

Another Little Story - The Prequel

and that's how the following little story began.

A Little Story in Pictures

Once upon a time...






...and they chewed happily ever after.

 

Smiley

When he's not explicitly playing, Charlie often has a serious, almost worried expression. Every once in awhile, though, he'll crack a smile like this.
