Charlie the Fixer

Hi, it's Charlie! Did you know I can fix things with my teeth? Mom put a new cover in the backseat of the car and it had a thing blocking me from seeing her, so I fixed it. This was important because she needs to feed me treats when I get nervous in the car. I also took the straps down that were holding it up in front of me. I don’t like feeling confined, plus I like to crunch the plastic buckles. They make a neat sound, and sometimes Mom stops the car to talk to me.


She also got me some kind of shirt that straps around me and she had trouble figuring out the straps so I made a hole in the shirt and pulled off the loop. Ha, she didn’t even get it on me!

It’s been really hot here and today Mom went downtown without me. She said that the pavement was too hot for my paws. We still take walks near our house, and yesterday we met Tripod out there at 6:30 in the morning. I guess his people let the cats out early while it was still cool.
 

Filtered for Caturday art.

Before the days got so hot, we went to the dog park. I mastered the ramp! I can run right up it now.


Sometimes another dog is there, which is fun if they are nice. This small dog worried me because after we ran, he started making snorting sounds.  

When other dogs are not there, I still get to run. I think I was born to run.




I have one more critter to show you, and that’s a butterfly.

  5. There are things that help other dogs cope, and then there is Charlie. He just must feel free and close to Mum! Sorry for yet another investment that didn't work. Keep on lovin' that guy!
