from Charlie

Hey everyone. This is Charlie. I finally convinced mom that I'm smart enough to write on my own blog. We'll see how it goes. I think she's going to be pleasantly surprised!

I wanted to show you some pictures from my vacation in Norfolk. I stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and we had a really fabulous time. They have a dog, Maddie. She was OK, I guess. I think she was jealous that I was taking attention from her people. We got along, but we won't be sending letters to each other anytime soon, I can tell you that!

This first picture is of me and my ball. I LOVE tennis balls. They are my all time favorite toy. What I really love is tearing the yellow fuzz off and eating it. Mom tries to get me to stop, but I don't. Mom and Dad gave me some stupid stuffed animals, but they're lame. I totally destroyed the first two. They got me a new squirrel and I tore the ears off as fast as I could to show them that I don't like it. Hopefully they'll get smart and realize I don't want them. If my friends knew I was playing with dolls, I'd be in deep trouble. Get a clue, mom and dad!


I got to watch lots of Animal Planet and Grandma and Grandpa's. They have the best channels and even leave them on just for me!

Here's a picture of me standing by some pretty flowers. I thought mom would like this one.

This is me and Grandma. She really likes me. She's one of my all-time favorite people. She really knows how to treat me! She's not as fussy as mom and she has the most amazing backyard ever! I can't wait to go back to visit. It's my favorite vacation spot ever!



Mom dropped me off and made me take a picture with Maddie. We look pretty good together. And she shared her water bowl with me. We shared a few toys and ate a little of each other's food. So, I guess she's OK.

Well, that's all for now. Mom's busy tearing an ugly angel border from the bathroom walls. I'd better go help and make sure she does it right. Hopefully she'll let me post more often. I think I'm better at it than she is.

Ta ta for now!
