Charlie cried/barked while I was in the shower until I opened the door to let him in with me. Then he was surprised that he got a bath too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Still getting used to the whole leash thing, but making progress.

Anybody need puppy photos to brighten their Monday? Sure you do. 🐶

There’s a fuzzy pink slipper and probably a bunch of other dog toys he’s sitting on An apricot Maltipoo named Charlie on my daughter’s bed. There’s a big stuffed Tigger plush behind him An apricot Maltipoo named Charlie in his favorite place to sleep, between my pillow and my husband’s. (Yes we let the dog sleep in the bed, don’t judge.)

Charlie hasn’t figured out how to go up the stairs yet. Instead he just looks sad & whines until the person who has deserted him forever returns.
Picture of an apricot Maltipoo named Charlie with his front 2 paws on our bottom stair step. He’s looking up rather pathetically and there’s a sunbeam behind him that he’s too sad to enjoy.

I’m only mildly obsessed with this tiny creature.

So dogs just have an instinctual thing for shoes, huh? A dozen or more chew toys & this boy finds the teenager’s fuzzy slipper.

Charlie is not a big fan of baths, it turns out.

Charlie is almost entirely camouflaged by the fall leaves. 🍁🐶

Took Charlie to our vet to get his latest shots & all that. They deemed him perfect, and the tech took him in the back to meet everybody because he’s so cute. Then he took a 💩 on the exam room floor and fell asleep in my lap. 😂

I’m figuring out this puppy’s routine, and it mostly seems to be either 100% all-out crazy zoomies or sleeping. Zoomies will resume when he wakes up. 😂

First walk was attempted. Made it all the way to our mailbox. Turns out sitting & eating dead leaves is way more fun.

Ways in which puppies are like babies: Charlie played like a maniac this morning, then started whining. I picked him up & swayed until he fell asleep in my arms. Then I set him down & he immediately woke up. 😂 My human children did this EXACT thing.

I swore up & down I’d never get another dog. Turns out I’m a liar. Everybody, meet Charlie.

Texts with my 14 year old.
My daughter sent me an unflattering picture of our tabby/white cat, Toby, and I replied, “when you open the front facing camera & aren’t prepared”

Coworker is angry that I stood up to get some water and would like me to sit back down so he can get back to my lap.

Ha! The one on the far left is similar to C’s sign.

Just a little bonus: there were a thousand great signs, and so many people in inflatable costumes, and I didn’t get pics of any of that because I’d put my phone away. But this guy’s sign made me laugh. #CaryNC #NoKings
Sign that says “Don’t Be a Jerk.”

It appears the main thing I did at the Cary, NC No Kings protest was fake pictures of dogs.
