The Best Laid Plans . . .

 Well, here it is:  My name is Charlie Girl.  January 23, 2021 and my People Mom has not done one post since I came to live with her.  She didn't know a puppy could keep her so busy!!!

My People Mom and Aunt Vicki retrieved me in Hico, Texas on November 17, 2020.  I'm such a cutie and I think I might just like my People Mom!  I wanted them to know I was in the car so serenaded them for a solid hour on the two hour trip home.  I got tired so I took a nap.

Here I am at my People Mom's feet.  I wasn't too sure about the grass!

Oh My Goodness, but I'm SO cute.  I think I'm going to like living here.

I sure love Aunt Vicki even though I nip her a lot! She seems to like it.

I enjoyed my first bully stick, and hope I get another one real soon.

I never stray too far away from my People Mom because she makes me feel safe.

My People Mom wanted to get a good photo of me in front of the cyclamen but you know how puppies are - I just wasn't feelin' it!

Aunt Vicki is leaving to go home to New Jersey in the morning and I want her to take lots of memories of me with her as well as scars from my bites!

On sunny days, PM opens the blinds in our sitting room and I like to drag my bed to a puddle of sunlight to take a long nap.

I really like to cuddle with my PM and I don't think she minds a bit!

 I met Mark, our landscape/flower bed designer, and I think he loves me as well.  Who wouldn't??

Guthrie is a white schnauzer who brought me a "welcome to the neighborhood" gift and I love it.

I really love cuddling on my PM's chest while she watches television.

On New Year's Eve, Paula came to meet me before they all went off to lunch.

And so did Cindi!

 

This one was taken the day before my "spa day" which traumatized the heck out of me.

I really love hiding under PM's bed but since it's adjustable, there are wires under there that I can nibble on.  [Note:  as of 1/23/2021 I can no longer get under there as PM put storage boxes all around the perimeter.]

This is me after my spa day - I am definitely in dire need of a martini, but PM says I'm too young and after all, puppies don't drink adult beverages.

The groomer put silly flowers on my ears which neither of us liked.  We also didn't like the way I smelled - somewhat like a French whore!

Can you tell I licked the plate after PM had her fried eggs this morning.  She was a little generous in her leavings and I was lapping up the yolk as if I hadn't eaten in a month!  I hope she eats this a lot!

No, that's not egg yolk - it's my little yellow ball which I loved.  PM threw it away as I destroyed it!

Mary is one of the Best Neighbors Ever and I love her so much.  I recognize her car as when we're outside, I tug to go to it because Mary will stop and chat and give me love.

Due to my trauma from the groomer, I was allowed to sleep with PM instead of my crate one night - - - which turned into every night now.  It's nice to have my PM near me and I warm her spot when she gets up to potty during the night.

One day a week ago, it was so windy that I was nearly lifted off the street.  It was a tough walk for me to stay grounded and I collapsed when we got home.

That'll about do it for now.  I'm going to truly TRY to be more diligent than my PM was in recording my life.

PM says I'm such a joy MOST of the time.  Like the little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
