Charlie had a playdate today.

Her name is Dusty and she’s a Japanese Chin. They guarded the house together by barking at the FedEx delivery guy.

In New York, between regular visits to the Washington Square and Union Square dog parks and his days at Wet Nose for daycare, Charlie spent a lot of time with other dogs. Here, partly because I’m around so much and partly because the dog parks here aren’t as good as the ones in NYC, he doesn’t spend as much time with other dogs. And, giving him human emotions, I think he’s lonely. Despite the fact that he had a busy weekend, full of guests around the house and time with me and Elizabeth, he was pretty playful today with Dusty.

They also look pretty good together!
