BBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!

It is COLD in NWA! This morning the temperatue was 9 degrees - brrrr! I'm not sure if Charlie is liking the cold weather or not. I brought him with me to work yesterday and he RAN right to the office door. Charlie doesn't "RUN" very often so I think he was cold and missing all his fur. I'm still bummed that Rover Oaks shaved him! What part of trim do you not understand? Anyway, if I get Charlie out again this week he will be sporting this! Stay warm out there.

happy anniversary charlie!

I cannot believe that one year ago this past weekend, Robert and I made the journey to Branson, Missouri to pick up our 4-legged friend that has come to be known as cccchhhhhaaarrrrlllliiiiieeeee! I will never forget seeing him jump out of that suv in the Target parking log - at that time, I was overwhelmed..."what have we done, he is huge, how will I ever afford to feed him, groom him, etc!!" But the past year has been so great! Charlie has become one of my best friends! He travels with me wherever I go, he has become the charity's mascot, he has made so many dog and people friends. He is always so happy to see me when I come home - always wagging his tail with a big smile on his face. I miss Robert so much during the week but knowing that Charlie is at home waiting on me makes me smile! We love you Charlie boy!!!

I went to LR this weekend and Charlie spent the weekend with the Champlin's! Miss Madison just loves Charlie - while I was over there last night, she was feeding him bread. It was so cute :) I also heard that she fed him vanilla wafers too. Charlie probably didn't want to come home. Amanda sent me this picture Saturday night.

We have been moving my office this past week and Charlie went with me on Friday. Do you think he is pooped?!
I found this duck toy this weekend when I was helping Robert pack up his apartment. Charlie loved it!
We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday!

whirlwind!

I just noticed it has been 2 months since I have made a post about Charlie. The last 60 days have been more busy than usual..I survived my last fundraiser of the year, yay! and Charlie got to spend event week with Robert. I think Charlie liked the boy time but Robert got to see how it is to have Charlie for more than a weekend. After the second day of doggie day care, he said..you know this is like having a child! HA!

After the craziness of our fundraiser, I have made a girls trip to Memphis so more boy time for Charlie and Robert and we also made a very fun trip to Forrest City for my mom's birthday. We all stayed at my brother's house and there were 6 adults and 5 dogs and the funniest part was I slept in a twin bed and well, what about Charlie? He slept with me! It was a little snug :)

We do have some exciting news to share....Charlie is going to have a new back yard! I drove him past our new house last week and he wagged his tail so I think he approved! If all goes as planned, we will move in around the first of the year. So I'm busy picking out brick, paint, flooring, lighting, etc...our other exciting news is that Robert started a new job with Murphy Oil in El Dorado today. We took this picture last night and sent them to Robert to wish him good luck on his first day! He has to wear a suit every day so Charlie is sporting one of his neckties in honor of Robert. We are so proud of him! We spent this past weekend in Little Rock and Charlie got to see a lot of his friends - Blake, Tyson and Brooklyn. He was so sleepy on the way home yesterday and slept the entire way! I even heard him snore a couple of times. I took this picture when he first woke up...Oh, Charlie boy!

oh charlie boy!

I had to post this picture! Today I played in a golf tournament and wasn't sure what time I would get home so I asked Kate to come by my house and let Charlie out....well, she sent me this picture with the text "charlie will not come outside!"....if he could talk I think he would say.."ha, you want ME to come outside, are you kidding me!!" oh charlie boy! never a dull moment with CHARLIE!

charlie entertains houseguests!

This past weekend was busy and Charlie is worn out! Charlie's friend, Clarence spent the weekend with us while his parents went out of town. Clarence loves to play and run around and Charlie loved having him here but he laid on the couch all day yesterday after Clarence went home. My mom was also here this weekend. Charlie loves his Coco (that is what he would call her if he could talk!) Here are a few pictures of Charlie and Clarence. I went to the LPGA golf tournament on Saturday afternoon and Charlie was so excited to see me when I got home so he cuddled with me on the couch :) Robert wasn't feeling well this weekend so he stayed in LR - we missed him so much!

charile is a biker dude!

A few weeks ago, me and Allison went to the Pig Trail Harley Store in Rogers for Bike Night! We were selling tickets for the motorcycle and of course Charlie wanted to go. I had found this bandana at Sugar Bear's Dog Bakery and he fit in perfectly! We decided to make it a "do rag" so he would really fit in with the other bikers. I couldn't believe that he let us do this and he kept it on the entire time. Charlie is such a good sport!!

charlie in the newspaper!

The NWA Times did a profile on me and my role at Pagnozzi Charities. The writer learned that the charity had a "mascot" and asked for Charlie to be there for the picture. I wish he had been looking more at the camera, but he was being a little camera shy that day. I have had lots of comments about Charlie and even a lady from Rogers who emailed me and wanted to know where Charlie came from..she wanted to know how much he weighed and the pros and cons of a goldendoodle. There are no cons about Charlie - we love him!! Go Charlie!
