Charlie’s Sunny and Rainy Week


Hello, I’m Charlie the beagle! 

The week started out very hot. Our sidewalk and street got too hot to walk on. I went to Seven Bends State Park with Mom and walked down to the water. The river was very low.


Mom says don’t touch that plant with the purple spots on the stem because it’s poisonous! It didn’t smell interesting so I didn’t sniff it.

Well, one day the weather changed. Wind blew and rain came. The rain stayed for days. It was cold!  We were able to walk on our sidewalk again, except where the barricades are. They’re not on our driveway anymore, though. We can park in the garage again. Our neighbor has to park her truck on the street now. I checked it out.


Late yesterday, the rain let up for a while, and we walked around outside. I saw my cat friend, Tripod.



I stayed home more this week because of the weather. I did get to play with Sadie. One day I spent the whole day at her house. 

Sadie can bark loud and high! I don’t do that, but I can yodel really loud! 


Some of you liked the horse I showed last week, so here is a close-up. It came up to the fence. They eat all the time.


I think it’s bedtime. Good night!

  2. Charlie, you and your Mom have had an eventful week, so it seems! We, too, had a hot start to the week and then it got cooler and there was even some drizzle, though not very heavy.
    We love all the pics, especially the last one of you all curled up and snoozing.
