Charles is not a therapy dog, but he sure does make Grammie feel good. She is 93 and lives in an assisted living community. Charles is a little timid when we first get into the building but he gets over it. He rarely goes to many places without the other dogs, and the building has this weird pattern of carpet and then floor and then carpet, which is hard for little paws to walk on.
Once we were in Grammies room and he could get off the slippery floor he decided this was going to be ok. (And Mom brought treats to help.) Animals just make such a difference to elders. Especially when the elder had to leave their loved animals behind to go to a place like a nursing home. I understand why they can’t bring their beloved cats and dogs, because it would become a burden on the staff when just helping humans is hard enough, but seeing how happy Charles makes Grammie, who had to give up her cat, Casey (now living with our petsitter, Sonya), makes me sad. I really do need to bring him to visit more often. As long as he is good with it, it sure makes Grammie smile. He fell asleep in the chair with her and she never took her hand off of him the whole time. This is perfect mischief for a Monday, don’t you think?

Peanut and I were watching TV. Mr. Charles decided he wasn’t getting enough attention or food or whatever and so he went over to the other couch and dug a hole under the blanket, sulked and went to sleep. He is such a funny little critter. We never saw him do that before. Not having had a little dog before Charles, I find him to be more cat-like than dog. That action is definitely something Mini Cooper cat would do, but not the other dogs. The dogs dig holes in the bed and move the covers around and make nests but they don’t hide under the covers, only the cats do that. Do you hide under the blankets?

Maybe I’m amazed at the way you love me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I love you
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe I’m a lonely mandog
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe you’re the only human woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help me understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe I’m a lonely mandog
Who’s in the middle of something
That he doesn’t really understand
Maybe I’m a mandog and maybe you’re the only human woman
Who could ever help me
Baby won’t you help me understand
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you’re with me all the time
Maybe I’m afraid of the way I leave you
Maybe I’m amazed at the way you help me sing my song
Right me when I’m wrong
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you

Mr. Charles, the Mugwump, Little is 10 years young today. Though you have only been with us for 2 1/2 years, you have become an integral part of the Zoo. I still don’t understand how we are your 5th home – we are so glad that you rescued us and that you are with us forever and ever.
Well, almost everyone… Sofie.

When you are this handsome you just have to let other people admire you from afar, you know what I mean? I look pretty dapper when I go to the barber. Sorry, girls, I already have a harem of beauties.

Peanut has started working from home sometimes when she has a lot of heavy concentration type stuff, like reading long documents, to do. I decided that she should not do that alone. Plus she looks so sad if I don’t help her with all her pens and markers. Dogs are the best reading buddies. I know that Mini Cooper, that pesky cat, thinks that she is a better buddy but I tell her where to ‘get off’ whenever she tries to buddy up to my Peanut. You know what I mean?

Mom took me on a special trip to visit Grammie in the nursing home.
I think she and I were both a little nervous at first since I had never seen a wheelchair before and the floors were slippery.
But once I got the hang of it, I only wanted to be in her lap.
Grammie was really happy to see me and I think that maybe I should visit her regularly from now on.
This trip wore me out, so I was kind of glad when Mom said it was time to go home. I slept all the way.
