Pool days are here again...

Charlie Pool April 2013 (8)

Sunday was a beautiful day! I was playing fetch with my parents and got so dirty and hot that they broke out the pool!

Before they could fill it up I was lying down cooling myself off!

I was a hot mess!

I kept trying to catch the splashes with my mouth! It was a fun little game we played!

Look at that determination in my eyes!

Yum!

After I played in the pool a while I was back to fetching the frisbee!

Charlie Pool April 2013 (26)

I'm getting really good now at that! I can catch it in the air sometimes too!

After we played Mom had to give me another bath! She said I was dirty and stinky! Imagine that!

March Boston Terrier Meetup Recap!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (1)

On Saturday morning we headed to the Richmond Boston Terrier Meetup at Dorey Park! Charlie was so excited he just couldn't contain himself!

There were two fenced in areas. One for little dogs and one for big dogs!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (202)

When we got to the park he just knew it was playtime! The first thing was to get acquainted with everyone!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (10)

There's lots of loving!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (22)

The humans and the BTs must meet too!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (27)

It didn't take long for Charlie to find the pool!

Minnie (a Hokie) also loved the water! They became fast friends!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (33)

Some of the BTs got excited at the action in the big dog area!

They ran and played. Charlie loved for the others to chase him! He sure is fast!

This dog spent lots of time cooling off in the pool! Charlie wasn't sure what he was doing!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (75)

Then, when new dogs were getting ready to come in...ambush!

Dynamo tried to get Minnie to climb the obstacle! She was very interested in the squeaky!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (124)

She didn't want to share the squeaky! Charlie was ok with that. He doesn't like confrontation!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (131)

Then, Dynamo tried to get Charlie to go over the jump. He kept going under. Finally, he got it!

And, up....

Sparkle was another friend of Charlie's. He met her and her Mom at the Dog Walk.

Sparkle was telling Charlie secrets!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (192)

But...Charlie made everyone laugh when he was the loner in the pool chasing his own splashes. Even the people in the big dog area were laughing at him! Such a comedian!

When we finished and got back in the car, Charlie was ready to relax!

BT Meetup Mar 30, 2013 (209)

A fun time was had by all! Especially the Little Man!

Time sure does fly doesn't it?

Charlie March 19, 2013 (60)

He's brought our whole family so much laughter and fun! He completes our family! That deserves a big smile...

Charlie March 19, 2013 (48)

He brightens our days and always makes us smile! He cheers up my 93 year old Grams! He's already performing his therapy dog duties!

We are so blessed to have our little guy! Charlie Boy is our little star!

Even better, today is Dad's birthday too! So, we brought Charlie home on my Dad's 62nd birthday last year! What an awesome gift if you ask me! So, today is a great day for lots of reasons!
