Happy mothers day to all the wonderful moms out there!!! ps and Grandma's!!

This weekend started off with mom leaving me!!

Ok I will back up a little. Mom left with grandma, Matt, Ange and Brianna for a weekend trip to meet up with family in the WI dells. Grandpa volunteered to say home with me, Bucky, Zoey, Dudley and Bailey. Before mom left town we cuddled on the couch for a while.

Its hard to get a good picture when your busy cuddling.

I sure was going to miss her but I knew she had to go.

Grandpa didn't take any pictures when mom was gone (mom and Grandma took he cameras with them) but we had a wonderful time. I got a chance to play with all my favorite dogs all day long!!! At night I cried a little but that was just because I didn't have my cage or my favorite toys there.

When mom came home I was so excited to see her. We played and snuggled lot!! Don't tell her but I really do not want her leaving for a whole weekend again.

Now I am super tired after all the playing and ready for bed.

but until I fall asleep I'm keeping a close eye on mom to be sure she doesn't sneek off.

Sweet puppy dreams!!

Hi everyone!!

I hope all is well in your world!

I had another awesome weekend and I will give you a quick summery.

It started off with mom and I hanging around the house.

Because it was just us girls she decided to try a new hair style on me.

Like it?? I call it rocker chic

After we got done with my hair Mom treated herself to a cold one. I had to test it to make sure it was ok for her to drink. Which it was!!

Then she decided to be really cool and let me try a greenie but me being me swallowed the whole thing as soon as it hit my mouth. It did pass though (Mom here, After a lot of googling and stress it passed)

Back to the big bull sticks for me!

My favorite outside game is ball but never with just one ball like you see here. I always have between 2 or 3 to roll around so you can get some good ball action.

Off to G&Gs to gather up Bucky and Zoey for their first trip to the dog run.

Hurry it up guys!!

They really liked it out there but I think they have to go more often. They go out of breath really quick!

This is Grandma, she finally let me get a picture with of her. She is one of the coolest people I know.

That sums up most of the weekend but I am going to try and make it a promise to get on here and update you more often!!

Night!!

Oh Monday

Hi everyone. I had a great weekend but I'm having a few problems uploading the pictures. As soon as they are uploaded I will update you!!
Charlee

Easter!!!

2011-04-25T18:32:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone!!

I know its been a long time since I have updated you on whats been happening in my world. My Easter weekend was great!! But I will start from last week because I have been slacking.

Mom came to pick me up and G&Gs on Tuesday

And learned I had a new trick!!

I was chasing Zoey around G&Gs (really she does like it) and in Zoeys effort to trick me she went from the chair over the end table to the couch. I thought it looked fun so I tried it too. Mom said it was ok as long as I didn't do it at home only at G&G. I dont know if Grandma liked that but I sure did!!

Yep I'm driving home today mom.

I tried to take the camera away again but no luck. She never lets me have the fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are going to jump over to Thursday. Mom got home from work and we decided to go on a walk.

She tried to get me to smile when sitting in the flowers but I wasn't going to have any of that I wanted to get walking!

Once we got home it was time for my favorite pass time

Attacking Moms hair!! She lets me attack for a while as long as I don't pull hard. I really do try hard not too but sometimes I forget she is weak and cant handle all the big Aire mmuscle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Friday G&G informed Mom of my explorations under the van in the back yard. Because of my adventures I ended up with this stuff called oil all over me.

Mom didn't like the smell (I was diggin it) so off it was to my first bath.

I would have some pictures but mom was too busy scrubbing my back. I do have to admit I'm not a huge fan of the bath but I love the rubbing I get when she is working up a good lather.

As long as she is rubbin I am sitting pretty.

Afterwords I wasn't quite as dignified.

I thought about running around and drying off but then the towel and warm blanket looked better.

Nap time.

No more baths for a while please!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Saturday and Sunday morning we got to go to this wonderful place called the dog run.

Its in a local park here in town.

Dogs get to go there and play with out leashes but I still had my leash on because I don't always listen.

I am working on that (kinda).

Its really big and there were a lot of big dogs. We will get pictures of them next time.

Doggies Dream pile of sticks!

Which way should we go?

Time to go home, I promise I will be back

After all the fun at the dog park on Sunday I didn't think the day would get any better but it did!!

It was this holiday they call Easter where all the family gets together and eats some really, REALLY great smelling food (reminder guys, next time I get some)

We all met at G&Gs house. All of my favorite friends both two & four legged were there and I also got to meet a new friend Mitzi. I am giving her a sniff in the picture below with Dudley and Baily supervising.

Baily, Can i chew too please??

Hi!!

Here is me with Grandpa, See how big I'm getting. I'm a whole 21.5 pounds now!!

yummm

Here is Grandma giving everyone a treat (she wouldn't let me get her face, she is shy). I was going to get one too but someone had to take the picture.

After all the fun and excitement for the day everyone had to go home including me.

It was a wonderfully amazing week and weekend. I hope they all can be that fun!!

I have to come clean

2011-04-21T17:31:00.000-07:00

Hello....My name is Charlee....I have an addiction.

I am addicted to....COFFEE.

Yes coffee.

I know I do not need coffee I have plenty of energy but every time I see that wonderful steaming cup I just have to go snout first at it!

I first tried coffee when mom left a little in her cup on the coffee table (ironic huh?) I decided that if she liked it then I will too. I could not believe my tongue it was wonderful. Now I go for a cup every chance I get. I have had some success in accessing a cup at G&G but it is very rare. I truly am trying to stop.

Mom and G&G have both tried to help me stop but alas I have been able to stay strong

Please wish me luck on my quest to stay off the coffee!!

Yep I am trouble.

2011-04-18T20:06:00.000-07:00

So my Saturday was AWESOME!! Sunday, well lets just say Sunday had a lot of up and downs. The day started off great.

Mom and I went on a walk around the neighborhood.

Once we got back I got my favorite bully stick.

Mom normally doesn't let me chew them down as small as I would like but she got busy doing other stuff in the house and I just kept chewing. It felt like she was out of the room for ever (Kim here, it was about 20 mins) And I had the bully stick down to 4". Mom came over to take it away and GUESS WHAT I DID??

I swallowed the whole thing!! Yep she wasn't taking it away from me. All of a sudden she started calling all kinds of people to make sure it was ok that I ate a piece that big. I tried to tell her I was ok but she wouldn't listen to me.

After getting my belly full with the stick and mom getting reassured by everyone that the bully stick were ok to eat I took a nice long nap.

After the nap it was time for the second walk of the day and this time we got to go see G&G and Bob. Bob is a really good friend of Grandpas. He use to have a Aire too! He was super nice and gave great scratches. He didn't even mind a little nibbling.

After a long day I went home and crashed out for the night. This morning I woke up and you will never believe what I saw!! There was TONS of snow on the ground!!! I thought it was all done. I think mom thought it was done snowing too because she kept using words I cant repeat on here.

I went out and played for a while before mom had to go to work. The rest of the day was pretty much normal routine. Play with G&G Zoey and Bucky, chew on some fingers and toes. Run around like a crazy puppy and pretty much drive everyone nuts but I know they still love me.

Also a update on Dudley, He is doing better but everyone is keeping a close eye on him.

Hope everyone two legged and four legged had a good beginning of the week and I will bark at ya soon!!

Charlee

Help please!!

2011-04-17T08:11:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone this is Charlees mom, Kim. I need you help. Charlees good friend Dudley isnt doing very good. He has been bleeding and the doctors dont know why. They ran xrays and could not find anything wrong. Please keep him in your puppy wishes and hopefully he will be better soon!!

BEST...DAY...EVER!!!

2011-04-16T19:09:00.000-07:00

Hello Friends!! I had the most amazing day today I had to tell you right away! It started off like any other day, get up, go outside, play with mom but then my friend Jenny came over.

Mom, Jenny and Me loaded in the car and went to a place called McDonald's. Mom and Jenny got some treats but I didn't get anything. That's OK the fun was going to come later.

Please let me use the camera, I think I can do better than you

This afternoon we had some great play time. I have three favorite balls and today I had all of them going!

Then we played some tug. Mom was impressed I am getting really strong!! She wont be able to hold on forever.

Then of course somebully stick time, nom nom nom, Lovin the bully stick!

Then I went outside the do my business and GUESS WHAT?!? It was snowing!! In April!! I know Wisconsin has some crazy weather but this is just odd. I keep hearing about this thing called Spring but I don't think it will ever get here.

Snow flakes on the fur

Mom whats going on why is there snow flakes in my fur?

SEE, please make them stop

After trying to figure out why that snow was coming down I came inside for a nice belly rub. I don't know about my other 4 legged friends but to me there isn't much better in the world then a good belly rub.

Thanks Mom!!

After the belly rub I was ready for a nap. The day is still young and there is a lot to do!!

After my nap mom loaded me into the car again. I wasn't sure where we were going but I am up for anything!!

We went to the PETSTORE!!, It was my first trip to the store and I love it there!! The people are so nice and there were kids to say Hi to and give big aire kisses to. I also got to look around and pick out my own toys too!!

Tough choices

See I behave, sometimes

So here is my loot, I got some nylabones, Greenies, Poopie bags (I don't understand the reason for this one, who wants to put poop in a bag?!? Humans are so strange) a tag for my collar and I got a Giraffe, I will have to put up my video with the sounds it makes, Its so cool, it makes a duckish sound AND it squeaks!!

I couldn't wait to rip into these!

I haven't had one yet but I will let you know when I do

Odd bags

My new tag!

My Giraffe

I love my Giraffe

I love my Giraffe so much I feel asleep playing with it!! Oh well its been a long but great day. I will bark at you soon!!

Surrounded by my favorite toys!!

Good night everyone and sweet doggie dreams!!

I forgot!!

2011-04-15T08:20:00.000-07:00

I cant believe I forgot to tell you. Last night when mom picked me up she thought I was getting heavier. (Well yea Mom I'm a growing Airedale) Well out of her curiosity she decided to weigh me. Guess What!! I am now 16 pounds!! I wont be 10 weeks till Sunday and I'm already 16 pounds. I'm so proud of myself

PS, I like to drive too!!

Happy Friday!!

2011-04-15T06:09:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

My life has been a pretty steady routine. Mom wakes me up in the morning, well sometimes I wake her up. We play for a bit then I chew on my wonderful Bully Stick while she keeps doing these crazy things like go in something called a shower and painting her face, she calls it getting ready. I think she is odd. Sometimes I watch her paint her face to try and figure out why she does it but I just don't get it.

Anyway back to the routine, After she gets done "getting ready" she takes me to Grandma and Grandpas and I hang out there till she is done with work. I have a blast playing with Zoey and Bucky but I am still really excited to see mom when she comes to get me.

We go home, its really close to Grandma and Grandpas, We hang out outside so I can chew on my outside sticks and run after the ball. Then its inside to rest and relax for the next exciting day.

I normally have a lot of good pictures to show but mom has been forgetting her camera lately (bad mom) I have decided to show everyone some pictures that I really like but haven't made it to this awesome blog yet.

Go ahead, try and take it

Whatcha got mom??

My happy place with my Heart and Mr. Monkey

Bad morning

2011-04-14T05:30:00.000-07:00

This morning did NOT start off good. Mom came and got me out of my cage and let me outside to do my business. When I came in she ambushed me with these stinky ear drop things that the vet gave her. I cry when I scratch my ears so he said to use the drops once a week. I HATE THEM. They are evil. I squirm away from mom as soon as she tries to put them in. I know she doesn't want to hurt me and she didn't. It is a big job trying to get me to hold still when I use all my Aire power to get away. After a struggle she finally got a little in my ear and nope still don't like it.

She wants to know if anyone has any hints on giving ear drops??

I now am happy and chewing on my bully stick. I gave mom a kiss because I know she is just trying to help.

I hope your day had a better start than mine did!!

Crouching tiger hidden Airedale

Hi :)

I am feeling 100% better. I think I just had a little puppy stomach bug. Yesterday started off with me waking mom up at 5am. She likes that on the weekdays because I can be her alarm clock (I think) but not so much on the weekends, that story is for another day. I went outside and did my business like a good little Airedale. We always play for a little bit in the morning . Today I thought the pull handle thing on the recliner was out to get me so we had a little argument (and a small argument with my favorite toy, it tried to gag me). I will post the video as soon as mom figures out how to put it on here. After we got done playing mom gives me a bully stick to chew on when she get ready for work.

I love my bully sticks!!!

If any of you dogs out there haven't tried them you don't know what your missing.

Mom dropped me off to play with my favorite friends on her way to work.

Me, Zoey and Bucky

Can you see me now??

I am always super excited to see mom when she picks me up to take me home, She was a little late yesterday because she had to meet up with some friends and I could not go along.

Thats ok though, once she finally picked me up we when home and played out side for a while. I am pretty fascinated with these new colorful things that keep popping out of the ground. Mom says they are flowers and they are blooming because its spring. I just think they look pretty interesting to chew on.

Well that was my day. More excitement and adventure tomorrow (hopefully!!)

Rough start to the week

2011-04-12T05:28:00.000-07:00

My Monday started off a little rough this week. I could not sleep at all Sunday night and was up crying but mom would not let me out of my cage. Once she woke up for work I finally was able to be released from the cage but got sick :( Mom felt really bad for not letting me out sooner. I know she ment well so I forgave her. I am now back in my same old happy crazy spirit and am ready for a new day that is full of adventure!!

Fun weekend

2011-04-10T20:07:00.000-07:00

Hello,

I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I know I did. It started off a little rough because I had to go to the vet with mom and grandpa for another set of shots and to make sure I'm still healthy. I am now 13.8 pounds, I was weighed of April 21 and was only 7.6 so I'm growing fast!! I took my shots like a champ but I had to get my ears cleaned and I really did not like that.

After the vet mom and I went to grandma and grandpas house to play with my friends Bucky and Zoey.

On Saturday Mom and I hung out and enjoyed the nice spring weather that finally got to WI. I played in the yard a lot that day. Then moms friend Amber came over and hung out for a while with us.

Today Mom and I relaxed in the morning. As you can seeI like to see on her lap when chewing on my toys

We has another really warm day today it hit 80 degrees!! We went on a walk with moms friend Sara and her little Jack Russel Riley

We walked over to Culver's so mom and Sara could have lunch. The people there were really nice to us and brought out a treat and a bowl of water to drink. It was my first walk and I got tired really fast. Mom was nice enough to carry me when I got tired also I took a nap at Culvers but besids getting tired did really good and stayed my moms side the whole time.

I was pretty pooped after going for the long walk and went home to rest.

Now there is a storm coming in and I don't like it. The thunder scares me and makes me cry. Hopefully it will be over soon.

I hope everyone one had a fun weekend like me!!

First Two weeks

2011-04-08T08:31:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone, My name is Charlee.

I am a Airedale terrier who was born on 2/6/2011 and turned 8 weeks old on 4/3/2011. I am pure breed and will soon be AKC regestered (Im excited for that!!) I come from a big family 6 brothers and 1 sister. I am a girl too but for some reason my mom chose a boys name, I heard it was something about me being spunky. Mom has been in touch with my family ever since I was born and has been getting pictures of me ever since I was really tiny.

My mom and grandma picked me up from my old house on Sat 3/26/2011. I can't say that I was happy to leave because I did love being with all my brothers and sister but I put on a brave face and made it the whole 4 hour car ride with no accidents or getting sick. Mom did stop a few time so I could go check out the world though and go to the bathroom.

After the big car ride we finally made it home and what a great home it is!! There is a ton of toys to play with and a fenced in yard for me to play. It’s a little small but that’s ok I make due. I am out there all the time during the day to go potty. I really don’t like going potty in the house and mom is super happy about that. I go to the door and cry every time I need to go. Mom says that makes me smart, I think that just makes me a Airedale.

The first 4 days I was home mom stayed home the whole time with me. We played and had a blast hanging out together. We also had lots of visitors. I can't keep them all straight but I was excited to meet everyone. After all the fun and hanging out with mom those days she had to go to something she calls work. When she goes she loads me in the car and takes me to grandma and grandpas house. I LOVE it there!! They have two dogs, Bucky and Zoey, Bucky doesn’t know if he likes me yet. He is older and can get grumpy when I try to jump and play. Zoey is younger and she loves to play with me. She is pretty small so I have to be careful on how rough I play with her. Sometimes I bite a little too hard and she cries but then she bits me back so she must be ok with it. They have a giant backyard where I can run around and get into all kinds of trouble. I love to hide under bushes but Grandma doesn’t like to try and drag me out of them. I get really excited when mom gets home from work to pick me up. Sometimes I start biting her but it's just because I am so excited I can't hold it all in!! We go home and play with the ball outside and I work off all the energy that I have stored up. When we come inside I crash out on my awesome dog bed. It's pretty big right now but I will grow into it! At night I sleep in my cage and I like having a place that is all mine and no one can disturb me. I don’t make a peep until mom wakes me up in the morning, well I think its morning but it's really dark out so maybe it's still night or just really really early.

Last weekend Mom took me over to Uncle Matt and Aunt Angie's house to meet their dogs, Dudley and Bailey who are wheaten terriers, and spend some time with Brianna (Moms Niece). I had so much fun over there too!! Dudley and Bailey are a lot bigger than me but they were really nice and super curious about me. I tried to bite Dudley but he didn’t like that and I didn’t do it again. I can't wait to go over and play with them again.

Well that is all for now I will keep you posted on all the new fun and exciting stuff I learn in this big world!!
