Brunch Visit!

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!

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!!

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!

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?

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!

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!

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?
