Charlie



This is Charlie. Santa lovingly left him for our animal lover, Abbey {Makayla too... but she could really take him or leave him}

I've never had a dog in my whole life...never
I've had ONE cat {that I can recall}
His name was Irving
I LOVED him
He ended up getting run over
It was HEARTBREAKING

Thus ended the animal owning/loving time in my life

Then Abbey came along
She is the BIGGEST animal lover I've EVER met
{she gets it from her Gramz and her daddy}
I LOVE the trait {and wished I possessed it...but I don't}

So...Charlie is for her
in hopes that she doesn't end up like me
and to be honest...he's grown on me
A lot
{who wouldn't love that face}

Maybe I'm more of an animal lover than I thought

Charlie
**Lover of CHEWING...on EVERYTHING
**Feeding time
**Play time
**Lover of his squeaky duck toy
**Lover of Abbey {and the rest of us...but first and foremost Abbey}
**Sleeps good
**Poops A LOT!
**Drinks loudly
**Doesn't follow any commands
**Has a quick get-a-way {door opens he's IN --licking up my floor}
**Has yet to howl the infamous hound dog howl {or any kind of bark for that matter}
**Doesn't like to be outside in the rain
**Is a terrible car traveler
**Lover of jumping up on people
**Puts his paws around your arm when you pet him {it's cute}

We kinda like this little guy!

Your Christmas posts are way too creative for your own good, my friend. (:

No really, they're beautiful.

It looks like you guys had an awesome holiday - congrats on the puppy. Abbey looks like one happy little girl. Frankie loves animals too - it's amazing how they charm you with it. He found this grey kitten outside and wanted to take care of it. For a moment I was actually tempted before I slapped myself on the head and said "3 cats?!" Yeah, no.

He is very cute. Still can't believe you have a dog. Your kids are lucky they have parents like you and RJ. Poor Ryder will just have to go up to Grandpa Tuttle's. :)
