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?

Gardening and going to a Vineyard!

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!

Me LOOOOOOOOOOOOVES the doggie park!

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.

Tummy gurgles

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.

This is my intimidating face

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!

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.

New doggie park?

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!
