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.
