A day with Charlie

Charlie spent the night here last night.  This morning Jim and Jean got up early and went for a race.  When they came home we played lots of tennis ball.

Charlie and I had our dinner.  Jim made us wait outside while they ate.  Then he let us in and gave us pizza crust.

More Work

This morning very early before my breakfast we had company.  Jen and Charlie came.  Jen left Charlie here and went to work.  I think Charlie is going to stay a while because he brought his bag with his food, his leash and his tennis ball.  When I go to Charlie's house I eat his food.  He eats the same food I do.  He has very good taste.  This morning Jim and Jean were working at their desks.  I helped Jean in her office and Charlie helped Jim in his office.  Then Jim, Charlie and I all spent the afternoon outside.  Jim was bringing firewood up to the house.  I was chasing the tennis ball.  Charlie spent most of his time trying to catch the chipmunk that live in the wood pile.  We are both exhausted tonight after running around all afternoon.

Men's Work

Today Jim and I went to the farm to do men's work.  Men's work involves riding tractors and cutting down trees.  I don't ride the tractor.  My work is chasing sticks.  Grandpa, Dale, Jim and I worked all day.  I played with Lady but mostly I helped the men.  Tiffany did not come because she does not know how to do men's work.  Tiffany's work is sitting around and looking cute.  I love going to the farm.  I am really tired tonight.

Another regular day

Today I helped Jim outside for a little while.  I went for a run with Jean through the neighborhood.  When we got back from our run I was ready for dinner.  Jean wanted to run some more but I pulled her back home.  I was hungry.  I was ready to go home.

Rain all day

Today it rained all day.  Jim and I were stuck in the house with Jean.  Boring!  Jim and Jean left for a little while to vote.  Then it was back to being bored.  I hope the sun comes out tomorrow so we can work outside.

Monday

This morning Jim went to the dentist.  Jean was working at her desk.  It was a good time to find a bit of sunshine and take a nap.

When Jim came home we went outside to work.  First Jim used the leave blower to move the leaves around.  Then he mowed.  We spent all afternoon outside.

The humans have something they call daylight savings time.  This is when they move the clock.  This means my dinner is late and I starve.  I whined so much yesterday Jim fed me early.  It wasn't really early - the clock was moved.  When Jim and Jean eat I always watch carefully because there might be something left for me.  Jean thinks I am still on a diet but Jim sneaks me treats sometimes.

Helping Jim Cook

This morning Jim and Jean got up early.  I like it when they get up early because I get my breakfast early.  They went for a race.  They weren't gone long so they must have run fast.  Then I helped Jim make Chili.  They are going to a chili party tonight and they are bringing white chicken chili.  I helped by eating some of the chicken scraps.  Then we went for a walk in the neighborhood.  I saw my friend Maddie but my friend Sammie was not outside.  Then we went by Jim and Jean's friends Bill and Sarah's house.  They invited us in.  They like me so I got to go in too.  They are nice people but they don't have any dog toys.  They let me walk around the house and do whatever I wanted.  It was a nice day.
