endearings...

so it's been a while but i have so many endearing charlie moments that i wanted to get them all down before he grew out of this puppy stage so i

could remember for all times...as i write this particular blog, the little one is curled up in my lap for a quick morning snooze.

~ charlie knows the routine. he starts off sleeping in his crate and then stirs anywhere between 5 - 6am. he quickly goes shi shi & #2 and is invited onto the bed. he excitedly gives papa tons of kisses and then when i return from the bathroom, he waits for the covers to be lifted to snuggle next to scott. within seconds he is on his back for scott to rub his belly and proceeds to pass out and take up 1/3 of the bed...

~ right around 10:30pm he gets his burst of energy and does the crazy run around the whole house! the first time he did i laughed so hard i was snorting...hee hee he's a speedy little guy...he zips around the corners of the island so fast that his two little ears tuck back...i really need to catch a video clip of him...

~ charlie is an expert sleeper/napper. he is also a lover of comfort and for him that means getting in that perfect position and so he turns and moves to get there. most of the time he's on his back with all four paws up in the air. his stretching is B E S T.

~ now that uncle harley (the rottweiler we're taking care of for scott's parents) got the boot and is no longer allowed in the house, charlie makes it a point to say good night and waits by the laundry room every night. charlie also gets so excited when we get harley's food ready. funny pup...

~ when charlie is sleeping and i try to move him he makes this little noise. i L O V E this noise. i move him purposefully to hear it sometimes...

~ one of the most heart-warming things charlie does is when he's home with scott and i come back from wherever i've been, his little face and tail wagging just warms me in such a way that melts my heart. there are no words to describe it...

i know i'm truly becoming "one of those dog owners" but until you have your own, you may never understand the joys of being one and all the little endearing moments you get to encounter each and every day. i LOVE charlie-bear!
