His name is Charlie
Thanks for the suggestions for naming our new puppy. One of you suggested Charlie and that’s his name. Sorry it took so long to post but I’ve had a bit of an oops healthwise. I’ve been in the hospital since the day I posted last. I’m fine or I will be soon enough.
I thought we might name the dog Chewy because he looks a lot like chewbacca but Mr. Flirty didn’t like that idea. Charlie seems to fit him just fine. He comes when we call him and he sits on command. Sounds good but he still has a few accidents on the mat at the door. He knows he’s supposed to go outside to do his business but if the door is closed, well, it’s on the mat. He hasn’t learned to bark.
Charlie is a cavoodle. Half cavalier king charles spaniel and half miniature poodle. He’ll be about the size of a cocker spaniel the breeder tells me. He has wool-like fur like a poodle, it doesn’t smell “doggy” and it’s in beautiful chocolate brown curls everywhere except between the toes of his back feet, on his chest, under his bottom lip and a few white hairs at the tip of his very crooked, twisty tail. Ok, so he’s not perfect and he wouldn’t win any prizes in a dog contest. He won my heart and that’s enough for me.
What’s life with a new puppy like? It’s been a long time since we’ve had a puppy in the house. My runners don’t stay tied, my bras and panties get dragged from the laundry room to his hiding place behind the night table along with all the toys he’s not currently trying to bite into oblivion and there are little sticks everywhere that he drags in after piddle time.
He’s absolutely wonderful.
I might have a lot of cleaning up after him but the way he snuggles that little head in my neck and then lets out a big sigh is priceless. Here’s Charlie today.
helloooo charlie…..take a good care of your mommy ok? get well flirty…

Cool comment.
I know you’ll link to my page..
Ciao
Talk about a show off. I’ll bet he’s a real love…
He is so cute! Too bad he will lose that puppy charm soon … I have a question though, his eyes seem a bit … well, strange. I don’t mean the color, but he looks a bit cross eyed. Or am I just making this up because of the photos ? Let me know!
He does have strange eyes but he can see a treat from 300 paces. I worry more about his hearing because of his floppy ears. He seems to hear ok but he can’t tell where it’s coming from.
He starts puppy school today so I’m sure we’ll see vast improvement. (not)
He’s a great little dog and he’s felt at home here since he arrived. He has a brand new fence to keep him from wandering and he knows just how to sit nicely to get a treat.
Congrats on the new puppy. Good name. As you know, since you have been on my blog, I have a new kitten. But when I watch him eat I think he is part dog. Cats are known to nibble and go away. NOT THIS ONE. Eats like a dog and whatever you give him he will continue to eat. So this one is going to be a challenge.
OH I adopted him while on a date. I didn’t end up with the boy I thought I would but I did get my boy
What an adorable dog.
Hope you are feeling better!!! Charlie is the absolute cutest puppy!!!
what a beautiful dog
I thought it was stuffed toy, but it was a real dog. So cute with a chocolate brown fur and eyes that is blue as the ocean. Charlie looks so cuddly. Thanks for posting this article.
What is the situation with the dog?
OK?
Has he eaten your slippers yet?
Beautiful picture! Lucky you for the puppy.
It is such a cuddly dog. I wish I could pet him.
Once I had a dog like that for a few weeks when my friends took some vacation to Europe. It was such a bad experience to return the this adorable puppy after 3 weeks.
