Mmmm... chicken

I loves Birthdays!

2011-12-18T09:32:00.009-05:00

Hi Everyones!

I has not updated in a long times, because my mommy hasn't been taking any good pictures. Also, Mommy and Frank keep going on adventures without Charley (gasp!). They went to Gettysburg, and mommy went to California, and they went to Mount Vernon lots of times... anyway.

Last weekend I gots to go to a birthday party! I thought it was a birthday party for Charley, but then found out it was for Jeanette. I got there sooper early with mommy and her friend Jenee, and we decorated all over. The theme was 'Margaritas and Munchies' - I never has had a margarita, but I loooove munchies! Everyone (except for Charley and Toby) got their own Margarita glasses to bring home with them! I asked mommy if i could have hers... she said no. Poopies.

I runned around all night (oh, I forgot to mention it was a sleep over!!) and hung out with everyones. Rachel brought her doggie named Toby who is also a hot doggie! We played a bit and then just kinda ignored each other. I spent a lot of time especially with Mo, who is sooper cool. I licked her nose a lot and we played and she rubbed my tummy!

Jeanette opened pressies (Charley didn't get any pressies... grrr) and everyone also played a game called Apples to Apples. I don't know why it is called thats - I loves apples! I did not see or smell one single apple (or even a little piece of an apple) the whole time! But everyones was laughing ad having fun, so I guess it's okay.

Everyone stayed up pretty late and had lots of margaritas and sangria and munchies (tacos, brownies, meatballs, dip, you name it!! I even gots some meatballs!!) Later on in the night time Jeanette and Amy and mommy were playing Disney Scene it and then fell asleep. I has the proof...

It was a really fun night! In the morning we had tacos and meatballs (I had some meatballs again) for breakfast... hee hee. Then my mommy thought it would be funny to wrap me up in 30th birthday caution tape... it wasn't MY birthday mommy!!

The whole nights was sooper awesome. I wish it was a birthday every single day!!!

I SAW CHICKENS!

2011-07-09T13:20:00.005-04:00

Today was the bestestest day of my whole life! And trust me, I has had some pretty awesome days. Today I went to Cox's Farm with Frank and Mommy. First, I got to has some watermelons. It was yummy. Then we went past lots of plants and stuff, which smelled cool. Then we went around the corner and saw... CHICKENS! Lots and lots of thems!

I was soooo excited that I barked a whole lot. Frank tried to make me stop but it was absolutely no use (he should know that by now). But I did try super hard to be quieter so I could stay with the chickens a bit longer.

Then we came homes and mommy and Frank wanted me to drink some water but I didn't really feel like it (I'm kinda scared of water, but don't tell anyone). So to convince me to drink some, we invented a new game! Bobbing for Kibbles! It's sooper fun! I has a video but can't upload it for some reason... I will try later.

Speedy is better!

2011-07-02T22:18:00.004-04:00

So it's been sooper busy the last two weeks, but the bestest news is that Speedy is better! Not the same yet as he was before, but he's billions of times better than when he first came home from the hospitals.

The doctors said that he had a stroke-like event, and the better he gets the more we all thinks they was right.

He still has troubles with stairs and some walking stuff, so Frank bought a harness for him. Mommy and Frank fitted it on Speedy tonight. I HATES clothes, but this harness looks like fun. It has handles so people can pick him up if they has too!

All finished! We will test it out tonight when we go peepeedoodoo before beds. I will help by barking at anyone who tries to distract us. :-)

Speedy is sick :-(

2011-06-18T11:35:00.009-04:00

I has some bad news. Yesterday Mommy and Frank left to go to a wedding in Maryland, and we were at home. Speedy started acting strangely and I don't know why. Krista came over and she knowed immediately that something was not good with Speedy. It usually takes a little longer for Speedy and Ginger to stand up, but Speedy couldn't really stand up at all until Krista helped him. He was walking funny and he didn't look like he knowed what was going on eithers. And then when it was din din time, Speedy didn't want his! I was worried, but Krista laid down and petted Speedy and made him feel better until Cliff came. Cliff helped take Speedy to the car and said they was going to a place called the Hope Center. I was sad to see Speedy go away, but I hopes that the Hope Center helps him.

Mommy and Frank left the wedding as soon as they heards, and they drove fast back to see Speedy. Mommy said that he was trying to turn around in circles and couldn't pick up his paws right. The doctors are good and are taking good care of Speedy over the night time. He is still gone and I misses him lots. Mommy and Frank are going to see him later today. The doctors say it could be a tumor or it could be a 'stroke like event' - I don't know what that means, but I hopes he gets to come home soon. Please think good thoughts and send loves and huggles for Speedy!

Brunch Visit!

2011-05-31T21:22:00.008-04:00

Another thing I has been doing a lot lately is visiting big mom and big dad. They lives in a different house and we have to go in the vroom vroom to get theres. Mommy says I has to stop crying so much when we is driving there, but I can't help it, I is sooo excited!

In March I gots to visit for brunch (it's like breakfast, but AGAIN!). I also got ot see my sister Gracie! I misses her, and I is glad she's coming back to the area soon so we can play lots!

When I is not playing with Gracie, my favorite thing to do at big mom and big dad's house is to look out the ginormous window in the kitchen. If I is lucky, I see some squirrels!!

We had lots of good foods. But none for Charley (well, except a few blueberries, but don't tell anybodies!)

And after most of it got eaten, I even got to sit at the table!

After long days of playing with Gracie I usually need a lot of sleep. Thank goodness for my Snoozer!

A favorite snack!

2011-05-31T21:15:00.004-04:00

One thing I did lots of times in the last few months is have treats! It's one of my favoritest things in the whole wide worlds. And one of my favoritestest treats is chickens. But when there isn't any chickens, there's sometimes carrots! I thinks theys frozen carrots, because they's sooper cold. But they is sooooo yummy... a few weeks ago I got a really big one!

Since you has nothing better to do, hope you enjoy watching Charley has a carrot. Speedy looks sad, but don't be fooled! He already ate his carrot. I promise!

Lots of bloggie coming!!

2011-05-31T20:56:00.003-04:00

I has been sooper busy, and my mommy has been sooper busy, so I has not been making posts on my bloggie. This happens ALL THE TIME, so I decided to get all my stuffs ready to go so I could make lots of updates the next time mommy let me use the compooter. And her we is! Mommy promised Charley that he could update this week - so hold your kibbles kids, here comes updates!

(I is hard at work typing, so this could take awhile)

Went to see the doctors!

2011-03-01T19:36:00.004-05:00

Today I went to see the doctors. Not the people doctors, the doggie doctors. His name is Dr. Jamie Netschert and he's pretty cool I guess. Mommy likes him. He's a new doctor that I just started going to about a year and a halfs ago. He's much better than my old one. I went to like a billion other doctors when my ears was bleeding, and no one could tell me why! Before he even examined me, Dr. Netschert knew, the very first time I saw him, what was wrong! I has a very complicated ear problem. Mommy says it's called "seborrheic ear margin dermatitis" and it's from my mommy who was a dachshund. Well, not specifically from my mommy, but from many many dachshund mommies and daddies... it happens mostly in dachshunds. Weird. Anywhats, my doctor works at this place in Centreville. Here's a picture of Dr. Netschert (it would be a cooler picture if he was holding charley).

I does NOT like needles being put into Charley, and this time I had to have two! But I guesses it's okay because Dr. Netschert says Charley is PERFECT. (See Mommy, told you so!). He said perfect ears, perfect heart, perfect weight, perfect teethies. The only problem is my stoopid ears. Lately I has been getting a crusty bit on them that kinda hurts. Dr. Netschert gave me a medicated shampoo to try. I didn't like that, but mommy promised it's only an ear bath, not a full bath. I put a pixtur of my latest ear problem here in my bloggie. Hopefully the shampoo will fix it soon! Thanks Dr. Netschert!

Book Club?

2011-02-20T22:03:00.004-05:00

So Mommy went to a Book Club meeting tonight (she says 'meeting' but I know she means 'party' - probably with chickens... I wishes doggies was invited!). Apparently Charley has been bad about writing in this bloggie. Oopsies!

It has been a sooper long day so all I can thinks about is sleepie peepies. Which reminds me: the reason I know that book club meetings is actually parties with chickens!

So not so long ago, my mommy said that it's her turn to have book club at her house. We was in Reston, and Mommy and Frank spent lots of time with foods and cleaning, and they kept saying that they wished Ginger and Speedy would stop letting their hairs out everywheres (I don't think that they can stop, I asked them). Then lots of peoples camed over! I barked a little at first, because I didn't know them all, but then I realized that peopels = FOODS!

The FOODS WAS AWESOME! There was cheese and crackers and potatoes and strawberries and one person brought a CHICKEN STEW! Oh man... it was the bestestest night of my life! My mommy has awesome friends that think I'm cute when I sit up on my butt and paw the air. Also when I make my eyes sooper big and licks my lips. Mommy and Frank don't fall for that anymores... but mommy's friends gaves me chicken, and potatoes, and cheese, and even fruits! I had sooooo much fun that I forgot I was at a party and fell asleep in Kay-tees lap... it was comfy. Then I woked up and got more foods!

I was so tired after all the excitement that I just jumped up on mommy's bed and fell asleep. Usually I sleeps all curled up in a ball to start, but I didn't bother that night... mommy thought it was funny so she took a pixtur and I'm posting it here. Don't I look like I's been asleep for hours?

Mommy had a pixtur of when I sleeped in a ball the normal way. I putted it at the top of this bloggie post so you can looks at the differences. I don't know why I do this, but I usually cover up my schnoz. It stays nice and warm that way...

I guesses it's time for bed: Mommy wants to use the compooter to do some kind of works or something silly like that. Charley is smart and he's going to BED!

Next time thoughs, I is going to post all about my favoritest toy in the world... my squeegie!!!

Hello Inter-Nets!

2010-12-10T21:00:00.000-05:00

Hi internets! This week has been different than usual, because my mommy has been home with Charley! (and Ginger, and Speedy) I asked her if she can stay home all the time but she said that she has to go to the work place. I don’t like the work place, because I is not allowed to go theres… so it must be a bad place.

Mommy has been acting kinda weird though, she sleeps a lot and doesn’t play as much with me, which is poopy. But Frank got me a prezzie for Hanukkah! It’s a Snoozer bed and it’s soooper awesome!

I sometimes sleep on top, sometimes on the “porch” which is really fluffy, and sometmes all the way in the back. It’s sooper warm and awesome. So that’s what’s been going on in Charley-land… I wishes I had more to say but it’s been boooooring here.

Helloooo inter-nets!

2010-10-10T22:57:00.007-04:00

Hi bloggie world! This is Charley! I has a lot of updates, but my mommy has been sooo sooper busy that I couldn't get on the compooter until nows. I had to beg and beg and be extra-specially-awesome to convince her, but here I am!

So I has been doing lots of fun stuff. I went to Oktoberfest about 1 weeks ago and it was pretty outside. Mommy and Frank and some of their friends let me have some of their pumpkin custard. No beers for Charley though. I met lots of doggies and barked at some ginormous aminals that mommy said are called horsies.

A while befores that, I went to a house that is sooper big! Frank says it was George's house: he was a Prezzi-Dent and his house is called Mount Vernon. Mommy wanted to read her book (boring) but it meant that Ginger and Speedy and Charley got to play outside in George's backyard while she read her book and Frank explored inside the houses (no puppies allowed in the houses... stoopid rules). Here is a pixtur; George's house is in the background.

A whiles before we went to the big backyard (I wishes it had a fence so I could run all over the place... but I had to stay with Mommy... oh well), Frank went to a place called Wylie Waggs and got new toys! Then mommy got some halloweenie toys at Weber's! I loooooooooooves toys! So much that mommy pulled them into a pile all around Charley and even though I pretended to hate it at first, I went back to the pile and hung out in it all the times after. It's fun to be with my toys.

Alsos, this last weekend we had a visitor! His name was Felix, and he's sooper cool! I wuz worried at firsts because Frank said he liked him a lot and he was really awesome and stuffs... I was worried that he liked Felix more than Charley! But when Felix got here, I figured out that Frank was right. Felix is 13, but he is sooper cool and even though he wouldn't play with me I like him lots. Felix's mommy and daddy brought prezzies for Frank and Mommy, and an awesome toy for Charley!! (Mommy said it was for Ginger and Speedy too, but I know it is really for Charley) The toy was a monkee... it was cool and squeaky. I killed the big squeekie right away, but I'm saving the little ones for later.

Anyways, visitors are super-fun! I gots the extra treats that Felix didn't feel like eating (isn't that crazy? What doggie doesn't feel like eating ALL THE TIME?). We all got along great! Tonight Felix's mommy and daddy and a very small person named Kerry came and picked him up. We played for awhiles, and I got lots of pets. Kerry threw my squeegie and I chased her all around, it was awesome fun! Then they all left with Felix and Charley was sad... but mommy and Frank say that maybe we'll visit again soon!

Charley is veeery tired now. I runned three and one half miles with mommy and frank today! I don't know what a mile is... but everyones looks impressed when I tell them. I guess it's a long way?

I went potty all by myself!

2010-05-04T20:06:00.004-04:00

Hello bloggie world! I has a great story for everyone today!

When I is living at Frank's house, we have a special place to go potty. We go out the front door, down the sidewalk, past two other houses, and then there is a biiiiig place that's all covered with grass! That's the place where Ginger, Speedy and Charley (I is Charley) goes potty (sometimes mommy calls it peepeedoodoo... silly mommy).

Today Mommy and Frank came homes, and sometimes when Frank comes homes he says he will take us outsides, but then somehow it takes FOREVER. Frank says he is taking us outsides, and then he picks up some papers, and then he washes some dishes, and then he cleans the doggie water bowl, and then who even knows! Today we was all ready to go and THEN Frank took a box that the mail mans brought and started to open it.

I knows that if I go potty inside I get in BIG trouble. And I really had to goes!! Frank was busy so I decided that I is a grown up Charley and I can go potty all by myselfs.

I knew exactly where to go! So I went. Right out the front door. The pixtur is not when I went by myself... mommy and Frank told me I should have a pixture for my bloggie so Frank went outside and mommy took a picture of my butt. I wish I had a pixtur of when I REALLY went outside by myself... I bet I looked much stealthier. And I wouldn't have taken a pixtur of my own butt.

I didn't have my collar or my tags on mes, so I ran sooper fast all the way to my peepeedoodoo spot. Then I heard mommy say "where is Charley?" (I has very great hearing). Then Mommy and Frank said that I had to be inside, so I heard them call "Charley!!" but they called like I was inside the house! I didn't want them to worry, so I ran back to mommy and Frank. They still thought I was inside... hee hee, but then I guess they were very worried so they opened the front door and looked outside just in time to see me come running sooper fast (I was like a speeding bullet... er.... speeding Charley?) straight down the sidewalk. I runned right up the steps and mommy and frank were soooo happy to see me! I got lots of pets and rubs and they said I was a good boy.

I think this means that it's okay to go outside and go peepeedoodoos all by myself all the times. I think I'll try it again tomorrow... hee hee.

ROAD TRIP!!

2010-04-23T09:44:00.003-04:00

YAAAAAAY!! This morning my mommy told me some really sooper news. My Auntie Julie and my sister Gracie had to move far aways (mommy says its not that far, but it's too far for them to come over all the time, so it's TOO FAR) for something silly called school. But sometimes we gets to go to where they lives now (in a big city!) and visit there! And this weekend we is going to visit! For a whole afternoon! I get to play with my sister and lick Auntie Julie's face lots and lots.

Yaaaaaay road trip!

New Shelf

2010-04-21T17:45:00.009-04:00

Hi bloggie friends! Last night, Frank and Mommy finally put up two shelfs that they got at the store a long long time agos. I didn't knows what they was going to puts there... but it looked nice. Here is a pixtur:

I wuz sooo bored when they was working on the shelfs that i tore apart a whole squeegie! It's in lots of little pieces with the insides on the outsides (and all over the floor now... hee hee). But when the finished with the shelfs I found out what they wanted to put on it...

They wanted to put Charley on it!!!! Then mommy said that she was kidding... and so i is be okay. I was only up theres for a minute. Long enough to take pixtures and laugh... I'll get them back though. I promise!

I is still here!

2009-07-11T22:06:00.002-04:00

Hi this is Charley! You might has forgottens me becuz I hasn't been writing in my bloggie recently. I haz been soooo busy that I is always tireds! And mommy hasn't let me use the compoooter much. I has a pixtur to show how tired I's been... I needs ALL of mommy's blankies to get rest!

Life is goods. I has lotz going on. Mommy wants to watch tv and I has to go with her now, but maybe I can writes more later. Byeeeee!

I loves doxie meetups!

2008-08-27T20:45:00.003-04:00

Hihihi to everybodies out in the bloggie world! I has been sooper busies as usual, but I has to share something cools I did the other days.

Mommy sometimes takes me to something called a doxie meetup. It's like a big party for just long doggies like I is. This time it was at a person called Brookes house. Brookes house has a pool! I got there and I remembered it from last year. I learned to swim in her pool last year. This time I was still scared but not as much scared. Mommy put me in a few times. I think I might have liked it but not quite enough to jump in myself yet. There were doggies everywheres, and there was even doggie cheesecake! Mommy shared some of her hot doggie too.

Here is a pixtur of me swimming. Patrick says that the caption should be "Up, Periscope!"

Gardening and going to a Vineyard!

2008-05-25T15:07:00.005-04:00

This weekend has been hugely lots of fun! Gracie came to visit, and then I went to visit Gracie. I gots to play muchos with scooter, and then we did some new stuffs for the rest of the weekend which I is sooper excited to tell you about!!

Firsts, yesterdays mommy did something called gardening. She said that she didn't like the stuff growing outsides of the house and so she and Patrick dug everythings up (except the tree) and planted new flowers and stuffs. It looks lots better. And Scooter got to dig, so he was sooper happy.

Then today, we wents to a vineyard! It was called Loudoun Valley Vineyard. I don't know what a vine is. But I know what a yard is. It was not what I expected. There was no fences. But lots of grass and plants and people and doggies. Mommy said it was an event called "Bark and Wine" which means the doggies get to bark and walk around and the peoples get to have wines. I didn't get any wines. But when we got there, we went to a tent and mommy and Patrick got baggies that had goodies for me and Scooter! They had bandannas and water and cookies!

We took a walk around the vineyard and then hung out whiles mommy and Patrick had some wine and some foods from a picnic basket. They shared the foods but not the wine. The foods was good... they hads bread and brie and salami and grapes and apples and cookies. I got some of everything but the grapes and cookies.

By the times we was done, we was all pooped. It's a long but fun weekend. And mommy said she gets to stay home tomorrow from work. Hooray!

Lots going on in Charley-land

2008-04-17T10:31:00.006-04:00

Sowwy that I hasn't updated in a longs times. Mommy has been busy, which means that she doesn't let me update my bloggie. *sniff*

But there's been lots going on! Mommy says I don't have much times to update, so I gots to be as fast as I can. A whiles ago Mommy's Mommy and Daddy went away on a trip to another place far away. So we went to live at their house to help out while they were gones. Which means I gots to live with Gracie! For two whole weeks! We played and played and played lots, and got to go to Beth's every day to run around in her backyard (like a little doggie park) with Murphy. By the ends of the two weeks we was so tired we spended most of our time sleeping. Expecially when there was a sunbeam to sleep in.

Then last weekends Mommy and Patrick left me and Scooter at a Dogs Day Out for the whole weekends! I hasn't been theres for a long time. I forgotted it. I was so scared when mommmy left me that I peed on the floor. But I think it was okay. I got to runs around lots and lots all weekends with Scooter! Dogs Day Out is a nice place with fences to keep the big doggies from getting too close to me and Scooter. Mommy and Patrick went to New York to meet more peoples. But no doggies, so I don't mind. I wishes I could go with them though. Mommy said I would be scared of the plan. I isn't scared of nothing!

This week has been goods, with lots of visits to the doggie park. I has been playing fetch with mommy. Yay! I gots go now!

I loooooves berfdays!

2008-03-18T13:14:00.006-04:00

Hihihihis again! I has been very busy (like a beeeeeeeeeee) playing and sleeping and having berfdays! Not my berfday... but other berfdays.

Aunti Julie had a berfday on the 29th of Febbyewairy. That is a hard word, mommy sounded it out for me. We went to mommy's mommy's and daddy's house, and had a great dindins and celebrations.

Firsts, we opened prezzies! Julie got a photo album that was all pixtures of Gracie! And a few pixtures of me. And even a pixture of Scooter!

She also got some stinky stuff for the baths. And some other things too. And big balloonies!

After prezzies Gracie and I played some bitey face for awhile. It was fun, but I is embarrassed that mommy got it in a pixture. Sneaky mommy!

When we plays bitey-face, we is sooper ferocious. Like wolfs or big doggies. But we never hurts each other. Sometimes peoples get scared... and it's funny. But it's just playtimes. Bitey-face is one of my favorite games with Gracie and with Scooter!

The peoples had their dindins and some cake. They didn't share with the doggies. Boo on that. But Gracie and I got to play lots, and we got lots of pets and hugs. We played soo hugely much that by the end of the night I curled up in a comfy corner. Mommy looked at me and laughed, I didn't know why. Then mommy's daddy pulled the tablecloth over me. It was nice and safe and dark. I was gonna go sleepies, but then then made me come out. Poopies.

I thinks though, that I likes berfdays. Next time I can get on the compooter I will write about Patrick's berfday!!!

Me LOOOOOOOOOOOOVES the doggie park!

2008-03-04T20:41:00.002-05:00

I is sooper happy cuz the weather has been nice for the last lots of days. It was snowy and icy and cold and wet befores that. So when weather is good and happy, mommy takes me to the doggie park! We went a few dayses ago, and this time she took pixtures! There was this sooper cool schnoodle there named MJ who I played with lots. And of course I played with Scooter a lot too! The other doggie in the pixture is Miles.

She also tooks videos of me running arounds and arounds, which is my favorite thing to do some days. Some days I likes to kind of just watch and wander around. But this day I was soooooooooooo excited to be at the doggie park that I ran for ages! I ran lots with MJ, and some more with a little white doggie that was cool. I didn't know her name thoughs.

So we gots to stay at the doggie park for ages! It was sooper fun. I played and played and played. Mommy brought some kibble too, and she called me to come sometimes and gave me one. She says that I never listens when we is at the park, so we has to practice. I think that's okies, since it means I get a yummy!

After we finished at the doggie park, we had dindins. And then I think we played some mores. But I can't remember. But one day (maybe this day) Patrick brought me a bobo toy! Scooter and I played and played and then we played tug o wars. Then we destroyed it! Mwahahaha. We chewed it all up. Patrick hid the squeaky from us thoughs. I has pixtures of that too, and maybe some more mooo vies. I'll ask mommy if we can post some of it sometime soon. For now's here's more moovies from the day at the doggie park! It's from playing with the fun white doggie.

I guesses I has lots to say. I also had a great time yesterdays with my mommy's mommy and my mommy's daddy and my auntie Julie and Gracie. I got lots of rubs, and I alsos got to play a game with a ball where mommy and mommy's daddy rolled it around and Gracie and I's chased it! It was soooper cool.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww water!

2008-02-17T12:02:00.008-05:00

Hi to all the doggies in cyber spaces! Hasn't really written in my bloggies in a looooong time. I's been busy. Mostly sleepies and eating, but those is the most importantest things to a charley doggie like I is. But anyways, on to the part of why I was writing in my bloggie today (other than my mommy is boring and I wanted somethings to do).

Today mommy decided I was dirty. Silly mommy, I's been dirty for aaaaaaaages. Why does I has to get cleans today? I gots all the nice smellies from the doggie park and the outdoors and everyfing elses. Getting clean makes them all gones! But mommy said it's been too much time since my last bath and so I says... poopies for mommy.

At first I forgot that I don't like waters. Then mommy poured some water on my head! And that meant it's time to escape! But I didn't gets to escape. I got back in the tubs and then mommy gave me some yummy chicken hot doggies. I didn't knows that chickens and hot doggies could be the sames. But mommy says so, and they's yummy, so I guess that's all that is emportant.

When I finally gots out mommy said she had to make sure I was nice and dry and then I has to stay indoors for a few hours. So now i is on my mommy's pillow watching out the window for intruders (you know, peoples, doggies, birdies, skwerrels, cars... leaves... wind... rocks...)

I likes the videeeoohs stuffs, so I has put one of me doing my little post-bath routine. Not really a routine cuz mommy never remembers to bathe me but maybe one time per month or some times 2 months. But I likes to shake and then dig and then rub (mostly my face) alll overs! Yaaaaaaay. At the ends of the videeeohs, I earns some mores of those chicken hot doggies doing mommy's favorite trick. I wroted about its befores in this bloggie, but if you don't 'member, iz okies, cuz its in the videeeeohs.

Hope everyones is having a nice Febraaury. Some days here it is okies and we go to the park. But some days it is yukky and icy and I stays inside and drives mommy cwazy insteads. Hee hee.

Video from baby me

2008-01-28T20:48:00.000-05:00

Mommy made me post this, I doesn't remembers it. But she says this is me when I was 5 or 6 weeks old. I is the black one that stumbles into the pixture and then goes to play with the carpet by myself. I still plays with the carpet...

My ears is back!

Hi! I is sooooooooo happy cuz my mommy took my bandages off yesterdays! She says she is worried that I might bleed mores, but so far there's no bloods. Just some sticky stuff on my ear from the tape. Mommy says it will go away soons. Also, I just learned about the videeeohs, like moving pixturs. So I has one that my mommy took of me today! Mommy had a yuuummy chewie and I wanted it. So I dids what i always does to get food from mommy. I doesn't know why it works, but it almost always does! I sits up in my butt, with my pawsies in the airs, and then I gets yummies!

YAY for no more bandages! I thinks that I is going to find more videeeohs to show all my doggie bloggie friends from when I was a baby puppy!

Cleaning is dumb

2008-01-21T11:33:00.000-05:00

My mommy left me at Patrick's to play yesterday, which was funs. But then I camed home, and it was all weird around the house. Specially in my mommy's bedroom. It used to have lots of fun stuff around. Mommy called it a rawhide grave yard. Cuz I likes to hide stuffs in corners and every things, and bring stuff to chew on all at once on the floors.

I sniffed arounds for ages, but I didn't see most of my chewies anymores! Mommy says they was old. I thinks that she is olds! This is dumb. Here is a pixture of me on the bed. Blankies aren't messed up or anythings. I is soooo confooosed. I want my mess back!

PREZZIE!

2008-01-03T19:44:00.000-05:00

My mommy got a prezzie! From her friend at workies (I hate workies, I never get to go theres with mommy. Anyways, I don't know what it is really, but it looks like me!! Mommy says it's a coast errr or somethings like thats. I don't know what that is. But it's pretty cool. Mommy's friend at workies does some type of art engraving and made it for hers!

I looooooves prezzies, even when they's not for me.

New Years and lots of chicken!

2008-01-01T22:28:00.001-05:00

Happy New Years! My mommy said to say thats. I is confoosed, cuz I had my berfday days and days ago, and I thoughts that was my new years. But I guess this is everybodies new years? Anyways, Happy New Years. I got to be with mommy and Patrick and Scooter, and we got an extra treat that mommy didn't plan. Mommy wasn't looking, and I stoled a whole bag of chicken poppers! Well not a wholes bag, but lots and it was awesome! Then I was soooper hyper and energetic all night longs. Mommy was mad I thinks, but she took me outside two times, so I could walk around and get some of my energy out, in the middle of the nights! I thinks that maybes I was finally sleepies around twos or threes in the mornings.

Then today's I napped all the days long... Scooter and I made a puppy pile on the couch and dozed. It was soooo nice. Then mommy and me went to see mommy's mommy and daddy agains! They had fishies for dindins. I gots some potato when I sat up sooper cute and looked sad. Hee hee. They always falls for that twick.

Bear Arm Gone!

2007-12-28T10:20:00.001-05:00

The bear arm is no longer stuck in my tummy!! It came up last nights, and it was all big and weird looking. It was yukky and hard to get up, but Patrick helped me. And now I feels much better. Excepting for the one thing...

My head started bleeding again. Stoopid ear infection. Mommy put a bandage and a sock on my heads again. And that stoopid cone. Mommy called the vet and has an appointment with a new vet to try and get the bleeding to stop starting all the times. But I doesn't care... I just hates having bandages on my heads. It's dumb and I can't run around a lot cuz it feels strange-o.

Howoofers, I is glad that the bear arm is gone. Yays!

Tummy gurgles

2007-12-26T22:47:00.000-05:00

I was playing with my little blue bear that I like to throw and catch and run around with and I decided to chew the arm off. He didn't need it! But then I ates it. I never doned that befores. Mommy was worried, and I thought she was being silly. It didn't taste so good, but what's the harm?

Then I started to get tummy gurgles. Me hopes that I gets rid of this yukky feeling soon. Mommy says maybe when I go potty tomorrows.

Krismastime=turkey!

2007-12-26T12:23:00.000-05:00

I is very very happy cuz I hads a yummy dindins last night. Mommy told me that it is a special day called Krismas. I was jealous cuz Scooter got some prezzies and I didn't, but it's okay because we got this yummy dindins that was turkey! Mommy and Patrick had turkey toos, but different kind (mine was in a can). I kinda wanted Mommy's turkey, and she shared a little bit! Whee! And some potatoes too!!! I spent a lot of time asking for more turkeys, but mommy said no. Pooh on mommy.

After dindins Scooter and me gots to go on walkies, and then we got some more chewies! The ones that are like ears, cuz they's my favorites. Me don't remmeber what kinds but mommy says something about cows's ears. I is confoosed because I looked on the pooter to see a cow's, but they didn't look like the ears I like at all! Patrick taught me compooter stuff while mommy was away. A cow's on the pooter looks like this, and the cow's ears me loves to chew is like this. Scooter stole mine, and I stole his, and then we switched again. I guesses we were too loud about it, cuz mommy and patrick scolded a bunch of times for the snarls and growls. But we was just playing... mostly.

Shopping iz fuun

2007-12-20T21:17:00.002-05:00

Hi theres! Me is feeling muchos better, even though my mommy keeps putting dumb stuffs in my ears. And I thinks that she is still worried sometimes, cuz I guess I have been having some bleeeding still. But to celebrate, mommy and Patrick and Scooter and me went to one of my favoritest places. It's called PetSmart - but it's confooosing cuz mommy says that we is going to PetSmart, but every time it's sometimes a different place! But there's always good smells there.And even more importantly there's always good yummies that mommy buys me when I is there. Sometimes there's even yummys from people who work there.

Today Patrick bought me a prezzie. It was the biggest rawhides bones that I ever sawed! It was bigger than I is. I chewed it for awhiles. But then I got bored. But then I came back. And then I got boreds again. It's going to take muchos of time for me to beat this chewie!

Today was a good day. Me like good days, with lots of chewies and lots of time with mommy and Scooter and Patrick. Yay!

Stooopid vet

2007-12-14T21:20:00.001-05:00

I is sooo mad. This morning my mommy woke up and I was dripping blood around so she gots worried. She took me to the vet, and even missed work and forgot to have breakfast! I stayed there for awhiles, and the vet stuck a cotton stick in my ear and gots yukky stuff out from deep down where my mommy couldn't see it. She said it was the same as last times i had a problem, but worser. On tops of all that, I gots shots and cwap in my nose and back and leg and some stuff done weird to my butt. I was so scared... and I started to drip mores and mores.

Mommy held me, but I shook my head a lot cuz my ears was bothering me. And I got blood alllllllllll overs. Even on the walls! Then the vet came back and I got bloods on her too. Then she took me and put this dumb stuff on me, and now I'm sad. Stoopid mommy for taking me to the vets. Afterwards, we went to mommy's mommy's house, which I like, but today I couldn't play at all. Gracie was happy to see me, but she knew I was not feeling good too. It feels weird to walk with all that stuff on my heads. I's just laying around the bed all day and all night. When these bandages come off mommy is in for some crazy doggie hyperness!

Snoooooooooow!

2007-12-12T19:49:00.001-05:00

Akkk it's cold and snowy! Well, not anymores, but mommy took too long to get her pixturs on to the pooter, so I am blogging about this nows, even though it's not snowy anymores! But it was snowys. I'd forgot about snowys, which is silly cuz when I was first learning to potty outside it was snowys. My mommy made jokes about yellow snow. I don't get it, but she's kinda weird. But it was snowys again! I thought it was strange for awhiles, but I figured out it out now.

My mommy put this stoopid thingy on me before we went outside doors and I hate it. But then I was glad cuz it was bbbbbbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr outside and I stayed a little warmer with the snowy suit on. Then my paws started being cold too and we had to go inside. I looked at my mommy really really sad-like, and she figured out that I was cold.

Then the nextest day it was all gone! I was gladdest cuz of no more cold paws, but saddest cuz it was fun to play in. And I'd just figured out how to potty in it, and it went away! Mommy says it'll come back, and so do Scooter and Patrick. Scooter played lots in the snow too! Me guesses that its snowy time now, since iz always cold outside. Gotts to go have some snackies now! Byes!

Happy Berfday to me! (and Gracie)

2007-12-06T18:39:00.000-05:00

Last Saturday on the firstest day of the lastest month of this year, mommy told me it was my birthday! She seemed so excited! So of courses I got excited alsos. I jumped and gave kisses and then we gots to go to Wylie Waggs, a great store just for doggies! Scooter and Patrick came too. It smelled so yummy in there, and when mommy wasn't looking I put my face in the display of treats (but didn't manage to grab any… *sigh*).

But it's okies cuz then mommy bought me a fluffy toy that makes a noise, and a cookie shaped like a paw! Patrick bought cookies shaped like bones. And we bought a prezzie for Gracie (I wanted to eat it, but mommy said it was for Gracie, so I guess that's okay).

Then the nextest day I thought that berfday was over, but mommy said we celebrates all the weekend long! Mommy put my sweatshirt on me cuz iz cold as a puppy nose outside! Then we went to Auntie Julie's house and got to see Gracie!

Scooter came with me, and we had a parteeee. I's never really had a partee before, cept maybe when Auntie Julie had one awhile ago. But this partee was sooo much cooler cuz we gots to eat cake! Auntie Julie made this peanut butter carrrotty cakey with frosting and it was sooooo yummy we ate it all up quick! It was so good that I didn't even mind those silly hats that mommy made us wear.

I guesses that berfday is a good thing. I hopes I gets another one soon!

I is learning to drive the vroomie!

2007-11-05T21:08:00.001-05:00

My mommy drives the vroomie a lots, and I likes to look out the window at the stuffs going by sooper fast. The other day I was soooo excited that suddenly I was helping drive! I putted my paws on the thingy sticking out of the floor that mommy uses when she starts the car.

I was just trying to help but I thinks mommy was... not mad, but she was weird and kinda mad maybe. But I thinks that really she wasn't mad, she was just helping me to learn how to use the vroomie, cuz she knows that I loves it tons.

Anywhats, Scooter is chewing on my chewie, I gots to go steal it back now before he eats it all up and none left for Charley! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This is my intimidating face

2007-10-31T12:58:00.000-04:00

Hee hee... I'm really a nice doggie, but my mommy found this old picture of me making my intimidating face. Sometimes a doggie has to be all mean looking just in case some scary stuff happenses. Gracie and me practices this look all the times when we play. Just very quick, so mom doesn't worry, but she caught us this time! And another time (cuz there's two pixturs).

But don't be worried, cuz I is really a very nice doggie. My bestest friend Scooter and i does this too, but I don't haves some pictures of it. When gracie is over sometimes he just takes the chewies while we play.

Visit from my sister!

2007-10-11T10:47:00.001-04:00

Had a visit from my sister last night... yay funtimes! It was a good day... I didn't see mommy much, but I made her late to work again *grin* and then she came to get me later and took me to play with Scooter! Scooter's daddy got us some cool chewies, and he took us to the doggie park to run lots and lots. He also gave mes some dindins, which was great cuz I was huuuuuuungry. No chiken thoughs. Oh well.

But then mommy came and got me, and I was happy to see her, but sad to leave Scooter! I was bored at home while she was making some fooods and not sharing ANY with me! But then a boom at the door and GRACIE GOT HERE! I was all ready for sleepies, and then instead I played and played and played. I even licked aunt Julie's face for like ages and ages. It was super fun. Then we got tireded and fell to sleepies on the big black bed... it's sooooooooooooo comfy!

P.S. my bumpies are gone. Methinks it was bug bites.

bumpies?

2007-10-02T14:27:00.001-04:00

I has bumpies on my back. I don't knows where they cames from, and they don't hurt me, but my mommy is worried. They ares making my fur look weird, and there's bunches of them.

I hopes they goes away soonish.

Looking out the window is fuuuun

2007-09-29T11:29:00.001-04:00

Guess whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! 'Member how I said that the new big couch smelld yummy but I was sad cuz I couldn't get up on top to watch the outsides anymore? Well... I figured it out! I can still sit up top to watch, it's just squishy. But it's kinda a cool sort of squishy. Anyhooos, here's picturegraphically prooving evidence that I know how to look out the window again. I'm sooper happy.

Alsos I have more picturesquegraphiconical showings of why i loves looking out the window so much! Look at what you can see! Its' all pretty and bright and there's birdses and squirrels and peoples and doggies. It's super very cool and stuffs.

Now that I finished updating you on the window I guess I'll tell you about my sister Gracie who is so great. She looks the same as me but she is the color that my face is all over her body. And she's kinda girly looking. I am very masculini. Like a boy puppy should be! But Gracie is my sister and I love her tons and tons and tons. She's sooper cool to play with, and her mommy comes over with her sometimes and we get to play for a whole day! Today my mommy took Gracie and me on a loooong walkies. We went down paths we never did befores, but there was lots of good new stuffs to smell, so I liked it a lot. I hope we go walkies in the new places again soon.

Time for nappies, I is vewwy tired.

Cozy Nest

2007-09-18T14:44:00.001-04:00

I discovered something new and fabulouso a little while ago and I forgot to tell you all about it. How could I? Telling you about stuff is what a bloggie is for, or so says mommy. I guess maybe I was busy eating. or thinking about eating. Or begging for chicken. Mmmm... chicken.

Anyhoooooooooooos my mommy was ignoring me and I was really sad, but I guess that maaaaybe she had stuff to do? She went downstairsed and when she came back she had a big white basket in her arms. She put it on the floor and I had to go sniffy. It looked like clothes, but smelld... like there was never a doggie anywheres near them. How weird? Mommy dumpt the basket all out on the couch and went to find the clicky for the picture box. I took a closer look... and feel... it was all warm! Mommy keeps it waaaaaaaaay too cold in the house so I was a little bit freezing. So what does a freezing puppy do when he finds something warm? Bees happy and climbs right in! Mommy came back and laughed and took a picture of me. nothing funny about warm cozy! It's niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. She said somethings about washing the clothes again. Maybe she'll do it every day so I have a nice warm bed to burrow in!

Suprise!

2007-09-11T12:40:00.000-04:00

Suprise visit today! I was sleeping (shhhh... don't tell mommy, I want her to think I'm pining away when she's gone so she comes home fast!!) and I heard the scraping at the door that always happens before it opens and mommy comes home. I scrambled up, all ready to be jumpy and excited and make mommy take me out to play. Then I saw that it wasn't mommy. It was my mommy's mommy! Yay! I got so excited that I think I made some potty on the floor. But she didn't get mad. I got to go outside, but it was wet and yucky so I came in fast. Mommy's mommy petted me and rubbed me and kept me company for awhile. Then she left. I'm sad now. But I'm gonna go back to sleep and get ready to greet mommy when she comes home later. I hope she hasn't abandonedd her Charley. I'm too cute to be forgotten!

New furniture!

2007-09-10T09:17:00.000-04:00

So my mommy brought home some new furniture the other day. It's big and black and fluffy and kinda smells like something I wanna chew. My mommy really seems to like it though, so I'd probably be in big trouble if I chewed... but it smells so yummy!

The only part thats yucky is that I can't look out the window anymore! The new furniture is all fluffy on top so I fall off when I try to be on top of it. Who's gonna watch for the squirrels and people and all the stuff to bark at?!

I took a little sleepie on it yesterday, wrapped in a blankie. It was comfy. Then Patrick came over and brought CHICKEN CHEWIES!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!

New doggie park?

2007-09-06T15:42:00.001-04:00

Hihihihihihihihihi! I have sooooooo much good things to tell you about fun times that I got to have a few days ago!

Auntie Julie and Gracie came to visit and then we all got in the vroomie together. I kept looking and looking and I didn't know where we were vrooming to. Mommy was excited though. I asked Gracie and she didn't know either.

We got to this place with lots of trees and grass and people and... doggies! We were at Scout's house! It was just like the doggie park, but with more room for running around. Scooter and I did lots of running. Then we found a spot on the ground that smelled soooooooooo cool. I had to roll and wiggle and try so hard to get some of that smell to come with me. And I did! Mommy was mad... dunno why cuz it smelled so great!

There was more great smelly stuff all over. Then I smelled some stuff I knew... those long meaty yummy thingys... I think they are called hot doggies, but they don't look or smell liek doggies so i guess I'm confuoosed. Someone different was making them smell so good, but they smelled the same as when mommys daddy does it. Then there were all types of smells and the people were sitting down with all those smells way up high! I just had to get some of that yummy meat stick. I was soooo patient, and only jumped a little. Mommy gave me a little taste! But then when she got up Gracie jumped up on her chair and made everyone laugh... but I think her mommy got a little mad. But the meaty yumyum was soooo good I wish I could have it every day!

It was a super fun time, I hope I get to go back soon!

I looooooooooove the doggie park

2007-08-31T00:59:00.000-04:00

So my mommy (her name is Samantha but I just call her mommy) took me to the doggie park today. I haven't really said stuff about my mommy yet or even told you about me yet, but Samantha is mommy. What was I blogging? Oooo mommy took me to the doggie park. The first time I went to the doggie park was scary. The second time too. But now I love it so much that I jump all around and even sometimes drive mommy crazy when I get so excited when I know where we were going. Today was special though, cuz my sister Gracie and my best friend Scooter came too! Gracie's mommy (my auntie?) leaves the windows down in the vroomie and so I got to sniff around all outside on the way there. Scooter was kinda scared cuz he doesn't get to usually put his head outside of the vroomie when his daddy drives. I didn't used to like it, but then when I saw Gracie do it so much she was having fun and I tried too and it was great!

I loooooooooooooove running around with all the other doggies but today there was so much going on I kinda forgot to play too much with Gracie and Scooter and some of the other doggies. Every time I started to run I saw something new and fun to go sniff at! I found a chewie that my mommy wasn't happy about so she took it away, which made me sad. But then I forgot about it till now. Now I'm a little sad again. Oooooh is that chicken I smell? I love chicken. What was I talking about? I love chewies. Gracie ate some green stuff and her mommy got mad too, but when you have a rumble in your tummy you have to put something in it. I learned that when I was a very baby puppy. Sometimes even when there's no rumble it's fun to chew and then the stuffs just ends up in the tummy by mistakes, but I like that too.

Kinda sleepie now. I loooooooooove this blog! I'm very up on all the latest stuff, like bloggies. I is extra mucho smart.

2007-08-29T14:32:00.001-04:00

Hi, my name is Charley and I'm an (almost) 10 month old dachshund mix! My friend Scooter has a bloggie and so I got jealous. My mom said I could have one too... but it took a looooooooot of convincing. I had to be super cute for ages and she finally gave in! Hmm... the most importantest thingie about me to know is that my mommy never feeds me. Never. I'm always soooo hungry. Please give me some food!? Haha, just joking a little bit, she feeds me, but I'm always hungry anyway! My favorite food is peanut butter, chicken, bacon, kibble, leaves, ice cubes, cheese, fruit, steak, rice, chicken chips, duck chips, chicken tenders, liver treats... hehe I could go on for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. I'm so excited thinking about all this food I gotta jump around a bit. Whee!!!
I'll be back to tell you all about my life very soon! Try not to miss me too much!
