Meet Charlie.

The apple of my eye and the thorn in my side.

I was tricked into buying this dog by my husband. No, I’m a liar and apparently a sucker.

He was the most deceptively cute thing I’d ever seen. Naturally he was the calm one of the liter. The only one that wanted to cuddle instead of wrestle. Oh, the irony. The whole time we were there choosing our puppy, I imagine he was thinking “Man, this lady is eating this up.”

Charlie has been the funniest addition to our little family. We’ve come a long way from me slamming doors and crying to D about how he wouldn’t stop biting my curtains.

This was a big week for Charlie. He slept in our room on the floor for the first time ever. He’s still on probation as far as I’m concerned, but I think he knows it. He also demolished a bottle of lighter fluid and ingested an unknown quantity of it. Please note, he is still alive and he also loves olive oil.

It’s a good thing he’s the cutest dog in the world.
