"A Dog's Life"

November Update

Wow, it has been a while since Momma has written about me. Let's see what I can tell you since August. I really liked the sunshine this summer, and have met three new friends. Bisa, Hank and Jasmine live close to my house, and we play near the playfield. Bisa is a big dog, and I love to run after her while she fetches the ball. Hank and Jasmine (Yorkies) fight over the ball, so I just watch them, and bark to hurry up so we can run again.

On December 22, I am going to California to celebrate my first Christmas with Momma. She bought me a special stocking, and told me there will be surprises hidden inside. Yippee...I like surprises. Also, I am having my picture taken with Santa in a few weeks.

It may snow today, and you know that I am not crazy about getting my paws wet especially when it rains really hard. Momma thinks I will be okay and tells me "Charlie, you can make yellow snow". Yellow, smellow - I wonder if I could wear snow booties and be able to run?

Well, thanks for reading about me, and hope Santa leaves lots of presents under the tree for you. To my special friends in Minnesota, Beth, Joe, Sophia, Aspen, Skye, Elizabeth and Oakley "Merry Christmas". A big hug to my foster Mom Juanita, who made it possible for me to live with Momma.

Love, Charlie Barley and his Momma
