Charlie - Our Pup

Look at this little pup! He was born on April 23, 2011.

We brought him home last June after an Open House/Graduation party we went to down in Indiana. The party was for my nephew Will and my 2nd cousin, Phillip.

They both attend Purdue University like my husband did so that makes him a proud uncle. :) 

He is 3/4 Australian Shepherd/ 1/4 Black Labrador.
The kids like to say he is a "Shepherdor". That might be an actual word, but I never refer to him by that breed name. 

I think this picture was taken last month which makes Charlie 9 months old. 

Don't they change so much in such a short period of time? 

Puppies are a lot of work, but he is so worth it. He has a sweet temperament with a bit of a sneaky side. We never did take him to puppy school and we aren't the best trainers, but we try our best.

Update on my challenges:

Water Consumption: more than I usually drink, but not 6 large glasses a day.
Bible Reading: I am reading each day so far, but it's only been a couple of days.
Blog writing: Yep, I am working it even though it's almost 9:00 at night. :-)

Be Blessed.
