A VERY SPECIAL Charlie Report for Monday, June 15, 2009...

...with me, Charlie

This past weekend I went on the longest drive in the car in my whole entire life for 9 hours which is almost forwever to a place called Ohio where some gray-hairs live who are my grandpa and grandma but you might know as Uncle Fred and Aunt Mary. Maybe your dogs are very bad when they ride in a car for 9 whole hours but I was very very very good and mostly slept in my bedroom which we brought in the backseat, but I was also very good sometimes sitting in Daddy's or Mommy's lap in the front seat, which was very interesting because you can watch other cars and trucks going by and the wind blows on you and you can stick your nose out the window until Mommy makes you stop it. And you get to stop in Morgantown and get gas at a gas station and pea in a vacant lot after Daddy walks you around for 10 minutes. And then you get to stop in Wheeling at the Fish Market and watch Mom and Dad eat fish sandwiches while you get NO fish sandwiches, which is not as much fun but people walk by and talk about how cute you are, so it all evens out. I guess.

But THEN you finally get to this Ohio place and get out at this house with a really big fenced-in yard and there is this Grandpa and Grandma and they LOVE you and let you kiss them and they pet you and let you run around in crazy circles in their backyard which is like a jungle with lots of secret place to hide in and things to smell which are interested but with almost no sticks, which is sad. And inside their house it is very interesting and they let you walk all over the place smelling things and licking the floor and picking up socks like it's so cute (which it is). And then you spend all day the next day playing and playing in the yard and getting loved by the Gray Hairs and getting your picture taken because you're so cute and almost snatching food out of their hands because they're not as fast as me, but Mommy and Daddy were always watching, so I never got anything, although I almost got a cream puff when I jumped on Grandpa's lap when no one was expecting it--ha ha! Saturday afternoon and night I was pretty sleepy from all that playing and fell asleep on Grandma, and she said I could stay with her and live and I was thinking about it because I think I could get away with a lot at her house, but then I remembered I have a lot of toys at home plus my girlfriend Bella, too, even though I cheated on her with the Gray Hairs' neighbor dog Sadie. So yesterday we got back in our car and drove for another 9 hours if you can believe it and came back to our house, and I miss Grandpa and Grandma but I do like my house, too, but I hope I can go back and visit again because next time that cream puff is MINE!

This has been The Charlie Report.

P.S. I didn't pee or poop in Grandma and Grandpa's house not even once; they think I'm so good!

P.P.S. Lookit these great pictures of me visiting Grandma and Grandpa!
