Life As A Wife {Week #13} :: Chasing Charlie

My new little monkey is actually asleep on my lap, and therefore at his cutest. He is cute all the time, but when he is asleep I know he can’t get into any trouble and it puts my mind at ease; because Charlie can get into a lot of trouble. Though, to be fair, most of it is my fault, or Kevin’s. Our little man is just too young to know any better. Or know anything at all. So this week my life as a wife was ruled, and I mean ruled! by our new dog. Sleeping in. Over. Getting anything done. Over. Feeding Charlie. A lot. Playing with Charlie. Even more. Taking Charlie out to go to the bathroom. Like every 10 seconds. That said, I did introduce him to a bunch of people – gotta work on that early socialization! And all in all we had a lot of fun together. So this weeks L.A.A.W is all about Charlie, cause my life literally was all about him.

He has mastered his name (I think) he comes when called – as long as he is not distracted by something, like a delicious shoe. 

Charlie got so much love this week. I didn’t get photos of everyone, but this shows a good portion of the people who oohed and ahhed over him.

Charlie also met Oliver (who is only three) and they had a fun time ripping around the yard together. Oliver was a good dog and played nice with Little Chicken Butt. Once he gets bigger Charlie will be pestering Oliver non-stop.

Charlie also met McGregor, but Mr. Grumpy had zero desire to play with Charlie and spent most of the time trying to find a place to hide. Poor McGregor had to put up with Oliver growing up and he has had enough with little puppies.

We are working on crate training Charlie, and this was one of the few times he volunteered to go in. It has been a bit hit and miss with the whining. The best thing to do it wear him out then stick him in to sleep.

How can you resist such cuteness!?

Meanwhile, this is how I felt on more than one occasion this week.

I love my new addition to my family, and though I love his little puppy cuteness, I am also really excited for when he grows up into a real dog and I can stop worrying about him.

If you are interested in Frenchtons (Boston Terrier, French Bulldog mixes) we love the breeder we got Charlie from and they have tons of information here.
