Winter Weather and Charlie’s Critter Report

Note: We’re getting snow tonight and tomorrow, and possibly ice. Ice can cause his power outages As well as other inconveniences, so I hope that doesn’t happen. Temperatures are going to be below freezing for several days. Right now, it’s 14°F (-10°) and when I got up this morning, it was only 7°. 

Now back to our regularly scheduled Saturday program: Charlie’s Report.


<< It got cold this week so we didn’t take many walks in the parks. We did go to the state park on Monday. Mom took a box of food and stuff to a truck that was collecting things for Martin Luther Day of Service. 

We walked along the river, but there was a branch across the trail.


Then I got a little sick and Mom got worried so she called the vet. I guess I ate something that wasn’t too good. I like to sniff everything and sometimes I eat grass and leaves and stuff.

The next morning we went to the vet, but I was feeling much better. The vet said I was fine. 


Here’s the unfriendly cat in our yard again. I watched it from inside the door. 



Here’s an artified picture of the cat. It looks better in yellow, doesn’t it?


We put out extra birdseed today. I think this one eats it all. She is there most of the time.


My friend Sadie is feeling much better and I went to see her again today. That’s a fun thing to do when it’s too cold to go exploring outside.


I hope you have a good place to play and a warm place to sleep.
