Big Chicken Day!

Today was the day we ate the big chicken!! It cooked in the ovens for hours and hours. Mommy said it was really Thanks-giving... I is thankful that Mommy and Frank is giving me some big chickens! I hate waiting, but I was patient and asked nicely for my serving.

When it came out of the ovens, we had to wait even longer! Mommy made some gravee, and heated up the other foods that she and Frank made. It smelled soooo yummy! When I got a look at it, it looked pretty yummy too!

Frank and Mommy got a new terkey platter and it's pretty cool. It came from Pottery Barn. A barn with no chickens. Weird.

Charley got a special dindins with some terkey, some gravy, and some creamed spinach. I was so excited I might have accidentally flung kibbles across the room and got some spinach on the wall... but I cleaned up every bit! My plate was not as pretty as Mommy's:

When we was done, there was a lot left. Frank likes leftovers. I think that they should have shared more with Charley.

I wish every day was big chicken eating day!

Traveling Charley and the Big Chicken!!!

Hi everybody! I know I hasn't been writing much in my bloggie lately, but I has a big update! It's almost holiday time, and I looooves holidays! Usually there is lots of foods, lots of sleeping, and lots of fun with peoples. Yesterday, Frank went to Gettysburg, PA where he likes to go to visit the battlefields, and he took Charley with him! Frank took lots of fotos of Charley exploring the battlefields. I is good at posing for fotos, but I was distracted by all the cool stuffs around to look at and sniff!

Frank says that I look like I'm on a velvet pillow in this foto. I think it needs to be softer.

I got to be King of the Mountain at Little Round Top. I don't understand the name, because it was not very little, and did not look round. But it was fun to be high up!

And since it was a battlefield, of course I had to get a foto of me with a flag.

The best part is that on the way home, we stopped in Maryland at a big chicken farm! My mom says it's a terkee, but it just looks like a big chicken to me! When we gots home at night time, Mommy helped so I could get a close up look.

Dunno why I needed to be soopervized. It's not like I wanted to lick it. Or maybe just a little.

I tried to claim the big chicken for Charley. I don't think it worked.

Then I got even more confused cuz mommy and frank made some yummy stuff (they said it's called 'brine') and then put the chicken in a bag with it. It looked less like a chicken... but I'm still willing to eat it!

It's been a good fun few days! Tomorrow we gets to eat the big chicken! Hooray!

Happy Berfday!

My moms daddy (we call him Big Dad) had a berfday last weekend! Charley got to go with Frank and Mommy to their house to celebrate. I gots to play with my sister Gracie, and then the peoples went to a moovie called Skyfall. I asked if I could go cuz I heard that if the sky is falling there might be a little chicken involved, but they said no.

It's okay though, cuz I still got to play with Gracie, and I also got to get some yummies when everyone got home and made dindins. After dinners, Big Dad made fancy coffees (cappuccinos and espressos and lungos).

Then the peoples had cupcakes from a bakery that does yummy ones that were red velvet, mango, and peanut butter cup. No cupcakes for Charley and Gracie :-(

They had sooper cool candles - the flames were colors! I would have gotten a closer look but I'm not allowed in the fancy eating room. I think Big Mom thought they were cool too.

Happy Berfday Big Dad! Maybe next year you'll share your cake with Charley?

Breaux Vineyards Picnic Day!

Today we all got to go to Breaux Vineyards for a picnic! Apparently, my mommy owed Frank a picnic, so she made chicken salad sammiches, potato salad, and other picnic stuffs, and we went! If you don't know what a picnic is, it's AWESOME. It's like dindins, only the peoples eat on the floor with the puppies! Mommy and Frank brought books to read, which is boring... Charley would rather be chasing squirrels. It was cold outside at first, but then the sun came out and Charley got to fall asleep in a sunbeam, which is one of my favorite things!

Ginger and Frank felled asleep in the sun too. Hee hee...

My mommy took some pictures of me with her wine glass, because peoples kept walking by and going 'oooo' cuz it looked like Charley was drinking wines. (Charley was not drinking wines, I is not 21).

We had a fun day!

I SAW CHICKENS!

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!

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. :-)

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?

I went potty all by myself!

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.

New Shelf

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!
