In your heart you plan your life. But the Lord decides where your steps will take you. Proverbs 16:9

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything
Thy goodness sends.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Dog Whisperer - a must see!!

Our new favorite TV show is the Dog Whisperer on the National Geographic Channel. See Cesar Millan's website at: http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/index.php


You actually learn more about YOURSELF than your dog by watching this show! If you have not yet watched it - I would highly recommend it - even if you don't have a dog - it's fascinating and you will learn a lot about yourself in the process. If you DO have a dog - it's a no-brainer - you NEED to watch this show and figure out who's the "pack leader" in YOUR house!

Anyways - I was going to share some pictures from today of Charlie. We put him in the kids' backyard pool this afternoon - he actually did swim around a little bit! Fun to watch!

Here are all of the "Charlie" related nicknames SH & the kids have come up with since we brought him home. He gets called a different name depending on his mood (fiesty, energetic, being sweet, mellow, being funny, etc) and/or what he's doing (running laps, sleeping, etc):

Charles

Chuck (but NOT Chuckie!)

Chuckles

Charlie Brown

Cpt. Charlie

What's Up, Chuck?

Charles In Charge (more like Charlie's in Charge!)

Sorry, Charlie

Charlie Marley

Harley Charlie

Charlie's Angels

Charlie Boy



In the TINY pool (no - this is NOT the pool he was swimming in)

His bottom half is completely soaked after swimming - and he resembled a Chinese Crested when walking around the yard.

Lounging in the dirt after swimming...great...needless to say - he had to stay outside for a while until he got out of the dirt and dried off enough. Then he got a bath!
