My New Life
The Importance of a Good Day’s Sleep
It’s very important that I get my full 18 hours sleep. I need my energy for all my duties and chores, like greeting the mail carrier, saying “Hi!” to all the dogs that pass by, going for walks with my friend Laverne, making sure no food gets dropped on the floor without my attention, etc. [...]
More Traveling Talk- Dogs on the Go!
Did you hear that now there’s an airline just for pets? You know, I actually flew once, when I was a little guy. I don’t really remember it much.
Nowadays, my family travels mostly by car. I even have my own travel bag! It’s always packed and it’s always in the front [...]
My Summer Haircut
I LOVE to go for walks. Sometimes we go around the block, or down to the park or out to the lake or we wander the neighborhood with friends. I love it!
Lately, when we get back, Mom and Dad start fishing through my fur for burrs, foxtails and anything from nature that attaches [...]
Better health at a better price!
Being Cocker ‘n Golden ‘n all, Mom and Dad are always keeping an eye on my skin, especially when I get the itchies.
They want what’s best for me, so I get talked about a lot! When I started to scratch more than usual, Mom knew it was time for some changes in my diet.
She decided [...]
Accidents will happen!!!
Well, I haven’t really been a bad boy- I just couldn’t help myself. You see, I had a couple of accidents in the house in the middle of the night. The house was all locked up and no one heard me pawing at the door. I felt bad, but when you gotta go- you gotta [...]
New Year’s Resolutions
OK, so my mom and I are getting together to work on some New Year’s Resolutions. Ways for me to become a better puppy. Mom could use some improving herself, but this gig is about me. (Maybe I’ll post some stuff about her when she isn’t looking. It’s hard without thumbs, but I’ll see what [...]
Merry Christmas!
Well, no wonder they were making such a fuss. Today was the best day EVER! Everyone stayed home with me today and the house smelled good all day long.
No one ever told me about Christmas stockings! Today just keeps getting better and better! Besides checking out everything my folks and my uncle got, I got a [...]
The Password is …”no”
I have to tell you, I’m getting pretty darn tired of hearing the word “No”. Every day I hear it more and more, and I know why too.
They think I was asleep and not listening to them, but I heard every word.
They were talking about Christmas and how much damage I could do. [...]
Not Just Another Blonde
OK, OK, I know I’m supposed to be growing up to be a responsible dog, but life can be so darn fun!
I already knew how to “Sit” when I moved in with these people. That should count for something, but NOOOO- they want me to learn more.
This trick must have come from my retriever side, [...]
The World is my Chew Toy
Recently I spent a whole day alone with my mom. Just me’n her. I had the best day! She was doing some cleaning and laundry and putting stuff away and I followed her around all day long. She had no idea how many regular household items can become toys for a puppy. And I had [...]
Today’s a scorcher!
It’s hot with this luxurious fur coat on! I’m slowly learning things to keep myself cool. The kitchen floor can be comfortable sometimes. At night, the floor is nice in the bathroom, but occasionally I get stepped on or kicked (by accident, of course), then EVERYONE has trouble getting back to sleep.
Sleeping on my back [...]
Happy Birthday to me!
I’m one year old! We had a little party out on the patio and my family sang “Happy Birthday” to me and then we got to eat cupcakes. We had them outside so there wouldn’t be any mess, but these cupcakes were so good, I wouldn’t have left any crumbs anywhere.
Cupcakes aren’t [...]
I’m Charlie! Welcome to my yard!
Hi there! My name is Charlie and I’m a Comfort Retriever.
A Comfort Retriever is a cross between a Golden Retriever and a Cocker Spaniel. I have the best of both breeds in me.
Most of all- I’m a puppy, and my life is all about having fun.
Stay tuned as I keep looking for new [...]
