Charlie Here
Ahhhh…this is my year. I’m two-years-old now. Mom Peep says I get to talk about all the stuff I’ve learned since I came here. Boy, do I have a lot to say.
I’m calling it Y2K (Year 2 Know-it-all), because I really do know it all. But not if you ask Mom.
By the way, I’m still a feisty critter. They continue to call me spunky and cocky, and other names like bullheaded and stubborn. It’s true–I’m all of those things (and more).
I helped Mom Peep write our book: Charlie Bear: What a Headstrong Rescue Dog Taught Me about Life, Love, and Second Chances. She told her side of the story, but I got to interject a few tidbits of my own to make it extra interesting. It’s out now and available on Amazon and the publisher’s website and even Barnes & Noble.
Have a chewy day!
Woofs & Wiggles to you,
Charlie Bear
I told Mom to stick the links here so it’s super easy if you want to buy a copy of the book. She didn’t want to, but I made her.

Guess i’ve been commenting on the wrong page for i’ve been “Replying” to the posts instead of submitting one of my own, but gee; we are all entitled to a few ‘goof ups’ once in awhile, aren’t we?
Ask your “Peep Mom” to put my pix. up where they are supposed to go if she can for mine does not know how, but she is willing to learn if any of ‘Your Peep Friends’ care to tell her how. By the way they told my Peep mom at the shelter that i am a mix of ‘Siiztu & Terrior’ but one told her that i was a ‘Pedigreed’ but you know what? I really could care less as long as i hav e a good & comfortable place to stay and plenty of good food to eat, and when i first came to my P.H. [Permanent Home] to live i thought that pure ole dry dog food was as good as it got for that is the only thing i would eat but my favorite peep mom(i have 2) kept offering me other things til now i eat most anything but my favorite is meat,(esp. pork & Chicken,) a few veggies & my really favorite thing is ‘Vanilla Ice Cream’; i really try to do some favorite things for her, such as sit, shake hands & try to say “Thank You”, i do this by barking and will say it a lot for don’t stop til she finally gives it to me. Well iv’e said enough for this time; will see you’ll on ‘The flip side.’

This is one smart dog! Sitting and shaking hands and even barking on command! What a sweetheart.
Keep up the good work.

Mary,
Why, thank you very much for the compliment. I do like my new home, even though it has a big dog that lives here. I’m learning to adjust.
Woofs to you,
Charlie Bear

Hey Beaugie,
You can reply anywhere. I see all of them on all the different pages, so feel free. I’ll tell my female peep to send your fav peep mom your picture (it’s really cute) and maybe we can post it on the site sometime. Watch for that in the coming months.
I eat dry food too. My peep says she wants to keep my figure fit and trim, ha ha. Doesn’t bother me ’cause I’d rather be fit and trim than not able to do my Indy runs.
You know how to do the shake hands thing? I do a really mean “down” and “stay” pretty good too.
Catch you on the woof side,
Charlie Bear

Hey Charlie Bear, Scooter here. I’m the little white fuzzball–ahem, handsome dude–your peep saw and told my peep what a cutie I am. I try to stay humble about it all. Anyway, you & I both have a sad story with a happy ending & caring peeps along the way, thankfully. Today I’ll hear back from my doc about lab results for a growth, my peeps are giving me antibiotics and prayers. Love your latest pic. Keep writing, you have such a gift. Woof, Scooter

Scooter, too bad we can’t meet for a sniff and lick. I like happy endings for rescue dogs, don’t you?
Good luck with your lab results. I’ll be praying for a good outcome.
Many woofs for you,
Charlie Bear

I keep telling my female peep to get those fingers a’typin! She’s working on it. Watch for new posts REAL soon.
Woof,

You’re adorable, Charlie Bear. Maybe someday you can meet Crosby at the dog park at the beach. She’s a unique mix, too. The best kind of dogs! Keep up the good work at telling your story–it may help you settle in as you work with your peep.

bjtaylorblog | January 20, 2011 at 6:35 pm
Why, thank you, dear Jean! I love compliments! Yes, we’ll have to get together sometime, that would be fun! I’m working on settling in. I have my good days and my not so good. But hey, don’t we all?
Hugs to you,
Charlie Bear

Hi Charlie,
It’s Lucy, the good looking miniature golden doodle in Washington. I am looking forward to more of your posts – you really have a way with words (it always makes me wag my tail, wink, wink).
Have a great Christmas,
The Lovely Lucy

You are adorable. What kind of dog are you?

bjtaylorblog | December 10, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Karen, they say I’m a Terrier mix. I see myself in all kinds of different photos of dogs, so I’m not really sure what breeds I am, but I like to think of myself as one of a kind!
Have a great Christmas,
Charlie Bear
