Charlotte's new friend

Charlotte has tried to tell me this should be 'her' blog since most of the important things happen to, or because of, her. Maybe I will get her a Blog like her BFF,Emma. We'll see. For now, Charlotte has a new friend at the house. Ava Gardner is a 13 week old Lab who is staying with me during the day. It took a week but finally Ava 'got it' and learned how to play. Charlotte is very happy, Nemo, not so much! Ava can do body slams and jump and roll with the best of them. Since she is already as heavy as Charlotte they are having fun in the yard, and unfortunately , in the house. Poor Charlotte lives with a couple of 'Old Poops' who only pretend to play for about 5 minutes. She has to rely on the 'company of strangers' when they come to visit if she wants to have any fun.

 Her days are now much more fun even though Ava does crash and burn after about 20 minutes of crazy puppy playing. That seems to be OK with Charlotte.

Not sure about this....

This morning Mom brought this dark colored puppy- I think it's black. Mom kept loving all over it and wouldn't let us, me and Nemo, in the kitchen. The puppy had food down all the time,Nemo and I were dying-- OMG! Of course, I am so smart I did manage to squeeze through the gate and try to get into her pen. I think I made too much noise and Mom came running in-she wasn't happy. No No Charlotte! I hear that a lot. Finally we all got to go in the yard. The little dog was friendly and even Nemo didn't mind. But I tried to play with her and she just didn't get it! So- I am not sure how this is going to work out or if she is coming back. I love to play with new friends, and tried to show her by laying down and rolling around in front of her. That usually works but she just wagged her tail.  She went inside and went to sleep for FOREVER! Then a nice man came in and took her away. Not sure if I will see her again. No big deal, I had an amazing weekend playing with all my friends! The pen is still in the kitchen-hmmmm.
