Pictures and Parks with Charlie

Hi, everyone! We’re starting off with a portrait of me. I wanted to look dignified.


Mom has a way of scooping my stories. I wanted to tell you that Marie came, but she already wrote about it. Marie was only here for a day and we went to Skyline Drive.
 

There are animals in the mountains. Mom slowed down when a deer crossed the road, and then we saw a little deer waiting to cross. Mom hit the brake, and I started to fall off the seat because I was standing up to look out the window.

Luckily, I had my seatbelt on, so it stopped me from rolling off until Mom could help me get back on the seat. I don’t really like seatbelts, and I have chewed through quite a few of them. I wasn’t able to chew up this one because it has a steel wire. I did get most of the plastic off, though.


Here’s a cat that likes to rest under cars.


We found out what has been eating one of the rose bushes in our yard. It’s a deer.


Yesterday Mom drove us to Seven Bends State Park. We explored the pollinator garden.


There are signs with a story about dogs. 



I guess that’s enough for now. What have you been up to?

  1. What lovely pictures, Charlie! You yourself are looking particularly handsome. And the deer!
    We hope that kitty doesn't sleep under the car. We are afraid it might get run over!

  3. What fun. I love the stories about animals that you got to read and the deer you saw on the drive. How nice to have a friend visit and enjoy things together.

  4. Good Sunday to you Charlie (and mom!) You are as handsome as ever, and I'm glad you didn't hit the floor when your mom stopped for the baby deer! Seatbelts are life-savers, though we don't really like them either. And speaking of life-savers, that's a kind of candy I used to enjoy. What kind of treats do you like?
