    Those Teeth Are Sharp! Charlie Chat

    Hello humans! It’s me, Charlie, and I have to tell you I’m really frustrated. Dad keeps saying this word a lot— what is it ? Oh yeah! “No!” He acts like I’m supposed to know what this means. It happens mostly at night when we’re getting ready for bed. He wants to pet me but…

    Only Took 60 Years

    Better to Fly or Drive?

    We just got back from another trip to Virginia Beach……10-plus hours in the car. Again! You’d think by now I would be used to this but I’m not. I’ve done this trip both ways: drive and fly. I have to say my choice would be to fly. We can’t always do it because of the…
