Charlie’s Complaint

I heard that my mom complained about me getting her up early. I am the one who should be complaining. She needs to take naps during the day like I do so that she can get up before the sun comes up. 

There are noises that wake me up, like birds singing and a truck rumbling. At first I move around quietly, but I want to go outside, so I make little sounds. If mom doesn’t get up, I scratch her door and ring the little bell that’s on the back door. Sometimes she says, “Wait until the sun comes up,“ but it’s time to go out. The birds told me.

 Finally, we go out. I’ll tell you about our day today. It started with a morning walk.

The sidewalks were wet. We didn’t meet anybody. 

There were some birds in the trees. Sometimes I see birds on the grass, but they don’t stay to play with me.

There was a really big bird high up in a tall tree. We walked closer, and mom told it to fly away because she thought it was scaring the birds that come to our feeders. It stayed there a long time though. 

I took a long nap after our walk. I didn’t like the new dog food so I didn’t eat it. 

Mom says I have fans, so thank you for being a fan!

It got really windy outside. I could hear the wind whistling at the door. When we went out to the mailbox, it was windy and cold.

Finally, we rode to the dog park. My friends Taffy and Jubal were there with their dad. We got to run around. Taffy likes to run fast like I do.

 

We didn’t stay too long because it was so windy and my friends went home. Mom drives carefully when I am in the car so she pulled into a parking lot to let a truck go by. She took a picture with her phone. She does that a lot.

Here is one more thing that I saw. Then I took a nap.
