I'm pretty sure that no one asked me about bringing a kid into my house. Mom says she will be my baby sister. I didn't want a sister, I didn't ask for a sister.
Mom thought it might keep me from being so lonely.
I'm not lonely. I'm stoic, I'm just fine with having the whole couch to myself.
I'm fine howling when she leaves the house and will continue to do so forever.
I'm fine taking up half the bed at night.
I'm fine with overseeing the yard and whining in my car seat.
I'm fine with every toy in its proper place and not spread out like some hurricane came through the house.
This was my look after our first morning walk together.
Mom said with that chipper voice of hers: It will be fun! We will be happy!
Honestly, do I look happy?
The chewing, pooping machine kept trying to distract me by trying to run up and grab my tail.
She did not chew on me and she was actually pretty respectful after I gave her low throated growl.
Mom didn't interfere, I give her that.
Mom calls her Hannah Belle.
I call her Hannibal Lecter. Though I do admit she isn't a serial murderer. She hasn't even been able to murder a toy yet. I can murder stuffies in seconds.
Maybe I should teach her a thing or two.
In fact, today I let her walk right next to me for a long time.
Perhaps I'll give it a few more days.

Just let her know who is boss, Charlie.
ReplyDeleteHe does feel the couch is his ultimate domain. That is, until she is big enough to jump up there with him! :-)
DeleteCharlie, we all know you're a true softie and will soon be won over by Hannah Belle!
ReplyDeleteHannah will really make your day happier as time goes on. Hanna is a sweet puppy.
ReplyDeleteThat look!! Charlie has well thought out opinions on Hannah Belle. He shows restraint in deciding to give it a few more days.
ReplyDeleteVery well written. Had me laughing. Hang in there, Charlie!!
ReplyDeleteMy son and his wife just brought home a kitten to keep their cat company. Charlie is being more charitable to Hannah Belle than Winnie is to Finn. Today she hid all his toys!
ReplyDeleteOMG Val. I loved this post. So stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I used to let my dogs and mules write quite often as guest bloggers. Even my old mare would chime in once in a while.
DeleteQuite fun.
Well Charlie, I guess it's therapeutic to write your thoughts down. Hannah Belle has a really tiny tail. Hope you have an old puffer jacket for your winter walks for her. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYep I might ask mom about that she doesn't have such a thick coat like I do!
DeleteOh that look! Priceless!
ReplyDeleteThanks. He does have an expressive face for sure.
DeleteOMG! This is too cute!
