"A Dog's Life"

My First Vacation with Momma

Well, I went for my first vacation with Momma to California. Guess what? I didn't know how much fun it was to scare cats! My human sister has a big dog, and two cats who are really very nice. But, I decided they shouldn't be in the house with me or Lucy. I think I am in trouble for the next visit at Christmas time, and will have to be trained to leave them alone. Momma says "this is their home, Charlie" and "barking at them is bad manners." What is a dog to do? Guess I will be quiet when I see them again especially since Harley is just a kid, and Mr. Spike is an elderly gentleman like me.

When, I came back from our fun vacation, Momma took me to the vet and had a bunch of teeth removed (ouch, it hurts) and surgery on my side. I haven't been feeling too well the last few days, and need to see a doggie dentist for another evaluation. Crumb! Pretty soon they will call me "gummer".

A really nice lady in Minnesota who has five Yorkie sent me the best presents. A pretty blue pumpkin bed, new harness and toys. Wow! I must be pretty special, I feel special.

Well, I think I need to take another nap and will write again. Charlie Barley
