Introducing Charlie, the "terrible two" I never had!

This is Charlie, the newest member of our family. We think he is an American Eskimo crossed with a few other varieties. Your guess is as good as mine. Charlie is the result of organizing my linen closet last February. What does our linen closet have to do with new puppies? Big sigh. Well, I had a few towels and mismatched sheets that I didn't need anymore. Rather than toss them into the trash, I decided to bring them to our local SPCA. Big mistake!!

If I would have just dropped off the towels and left, things would have been OK, but oh no, I had to see the dogs first. And there was Charlie (formally known as Mogli). This little white bundle of fur was wiggling and waggling. He even smiled at me. It was love at first sight. It took my husband a little longer to bond with him....

We still have our old dog. I don't think he will ever bond with Charlie, but they seem to get along OK.

There will more about Charlie's exploits over the next few days....let's just say, I am having to learn about "dog proofing" all over again. And Charlie really likes kiwi plants - especially my husband's favorite kiwi plant that he has been nuturing for the past three years. I don't understand how a person can resist a tiny ball of white fluff, especially when he brings you his treasures to share. My husband didn't think he looked that adorable with a kiwi leaf hanging out one side of his mouth and kiwi root hanging out the other. And he wasn't really white and fluffy anymore. After digging in the garden, he looked a little black. Kind of like an upsidedown skunk.

That Little Rotten Dog!

That little rotten dog ate my favorite bra! You know which one. The one that was actually successful in putting all the post-baby breast back into almost pre-baby shape! Sheesk...

It was last night, I heard him shuffling around and then a pounce and then a continuous gnaw gnaw gnaw noise. I am pretty sure I heard him sigh too! Of course all these noises were interspersed between dreams and semi-wakefulness (is there such a word? LOL), so I didn't know what damage was being wrought upon my favorite under-apparel until it was too late. Anyone need a padded black slingshot?
