charley looks you right in the eye. straight on.
she never breaks the stare first.
we are moving into a condo and a few weeks ago i said to charley,
"it's enough. no more pooing in the backyard, we are trying to sell the house."
i swear, since that day, nothing.
charley holds her busy busy until someone finally agrees to walk her.
kath says she is training us for when a
walk from the condo is an absolute necessity.
she is so smart.
happy pet parade, thanks to planet m and elk.
xo margie


good dog.

Her busy busy?? You are making me laugh. So much. I can just hear me talking to my new class of second graders in a few weeks and telling them that they will need to do their busy busy before the field trip.

I would like for Charley to come over to my house and have a talk with Timmy. Recently he thinks that inside our house is an okay place to do his business!
Charley is smart and beautiful! Thank you for joining the Pet Parade!

i just love how you imbue that dog of yours with such deep wisdom. he looks very deadpan...could you perhaps be mistaking "i can hold my poop like a big boy momma" for a simple "i wanna a cookie, give me a cookie or i will burn holes in your shirt with my eyes"
