Charlie’s World View

September 30, 2006

Charlie is all boy. In between his pneumonia, which he sees as irrelvant to his life, he loves to body slam Harry and chew on his head, squeak while he barks at possible friends walking their people down the street, and otherwise race around the yard. He is in obedience class at this point, but I am thinking that he may need some work on his voice (voice lessons to deepen his bark) and some social skills training (chewing on others’ heads seems unwise in the long run). But, to be pragmatic, we’ll start with the obedience training.

Good time Charlie

Charlie has a touch of pneumonia. Maybe from inhaling pool water during his many excursions into the pool this summer. In response to his invalid status, he is chasing birds, leaping over planters, running around the yard at top speed, barking at neighbors going by, chewing on his brother Harry’s head (still), and enjoying belly rubs every 20-30 minutes.

Charlie sees no point to being sick. His lab tests and his vet say he has an infection, but he does not. A role model for those of us with less than perfect health.
