I'm sure if someone secretly recorded me when I am home alone with Fifty, the whole world would be convinced of my insanity. <br />And we did the same thing with Fifty's birthday that you did with Charlie's. We got him on December 5th and he was about three months, so we decided his birthday is the 5th of September :)Sara Louisehttp://www.sarainlepetitvillage.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-65568419460580452302013-03-13T08:40:37.270-04:002013-03-13T08:40:37.270-04:00haha I totally know that face! sometimes when I sq...haha I totally know that face! sometimes when I squish Charlie, he looks up at me and I swear he says, "yes, I know I'm cute, but I will still be cute when I wake up from this nap and you can squish me then."Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-10475182011787255492013-03-13T08:39:44.828-04:002013-03-13T08:39:44.828-04:00Whitney, I get you - sometimes my mom and I talk a...Whitney, I get you - sometimes my mom and I talk about taking Charlie's ears with us to work because they're so soft.

Since we moved to the UK she has become my everyday companion while hubby is at work and my son is at school. I carry on a dialogue with her all day and often serenade her. Prior to our move I always worked full time so from puppy till now she NEVER experienced so much interaction. I think she quite likes it but the other day as I was busying myself vacuuming and cleaning all her fur I started to verbally complain about the amount of fur she sheds and when I looked over at her we locked eyes and I am sure I heard her say "I have fur. Deal with it!"....that shut me up. ha!Ginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-84665939642774991382013-03-12T22:46:29.001-04:002013-03-12T22:46:29.001-04:00Me: "Oooh, that little bird is so cute!

And I'm totally guilty of talking to my dog in public, AND, I've developed a compulsion where if I even SEE any dog, the words "LOOK AT THAT LITTLE MAN!" come out of my mouth before I can stop them. It's bad. It's real bad.<br /><br />I laughed out loud at your interpretation of Charlie's begging.daci jayehttp://twitter.com/werejustdandynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-48162267125653287242013-03-12T21:13:41.248-04:002013-03-12T21:13:41.248-04:00I love this post.I love this post.Selena Joneshttp://www.selenatheplaces.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-74097097878636146882013-03-12T19:38:04.434-04:002013-03-12T19:38:04.434-04:00I do sometimes threaten Charlie with time out :) ...I do sometimes threaten Charlie with time out :) but EW SLOAN THAT IS GROSS. can't wait to meet them both!Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-51351586819733344552013-03-12T19:37:46.701-04:002013-03-12T19:37:46.701-04:00that makes PERFECT sense.that makes PERFECT sense.Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-45324016708139691752013-03-12T19:37:12.630-04:002013-03-12T19:37:12.630-04:00haha thank goodness I have Charlie - I pretend lik...haha thank goodness I have Charlie - I pretend like I'm saying all those things to him! :)Betsy Transatlanticallyhttp://www.betsytransatlantically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-4854873093616864942013-03-12T18:57:06.096-04:002013-03-12T18:57:06.096-04:00I once screamed at the top of my lungs "If yo...I once screamed at the top of my lungs "If you don't stop barking I will pull this car over this instant!" and then realized you don't have to have human kids to turn into your mom...<br />and I regularly say "we don't pee on landscaping. People don't want to put their hands in your pee." <br /><br /><br />Paul wanted Sloan to have a command for poo since she's a mosey-er and tends to exhaustively search for the perfect spot. So she (kind of; it was more when she was a puppy) knows "other potty". And it's fairly obvious when she needs to go (things stick out...), so I'll be on a walk saying "Good grief, Sloan, your poo is TRYING TO ESCAPE. Let it go!"<br /><br /><br />As for giving them food, when you eventually meet Max you'll learn just how hard that is to resist. He takes stuff with his lips from your hand but teeth from a fork and then is the most adorable chomper EVER. Just the right amount of smacks and lip-licking. Luckily he loves fruits and veg, so we shared a cut up apple earlier!<br /><br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK, CHARLIE!!!!!!!Gescinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442709270787168376.post-57149436132099940772013-03-12T14:40:39.784-04:002013-03-12T14:40:39.784-04:00Glad I'm not alone in my dog loving weirdness....Glad I'm not alone in my dog loving weirdness.

Ruby's pretty good at it, but Goldy could not catch something to save her life. I think she doesn't understand the process.kaityhttp://browniediaries.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
