A Note and Charlie’s Day

With our country in turmoil, I try to quiet my mind by posting positive things. This evening I'm going to let Charlie tell you about his day, but first I would like to voice support for our nation’s veterans, many of whom are federal employees. It is a horrible injustice that they and other loyal government workers were let go under an ill-advised plan devised by Elon Musk, who isn't even from this country.


As promised, here’s Charlie!




<<We had a busy day today. We got in the car and drove to a dog park. I ate a hamburger on the way.

I ran around the dog park, but no other dogs came. Then I was ready to go. Mom said it was time to go to Petco to meet my teacher.>>


We met a lady, but I was really nervous. For the first half hour, I was shaking. The lady left for a minute and I saw that there was a gate so we were not in prison. Then I felt better and I ate some treats. The teacher did not show me anything new. She just talked to my mom and gave her some homework. 


Mom drove to Skyline Drive. We had to stop at the entrance and show the ranger a card. 


We drove up a really big hill. You can see a long way from up there.





We saw some deer. I knew what they were because we saw some the day before in Woodstock.


Now we’re tired so I’ll say good night!
