Charlie has a new cousin. Well, not so new anymore really, but new to the blog. Her name is Birdie and she is really really cute long-haired Dachshund. Loren and Charlie got her in December, so she must be almost 6 months old by now.

Boy does she ever have puppy energy. I mean she never ever sits still. And that drives grumpy “old” Charlie crazy. Sometimes Charlie will play with Birdie:

But mostly he just growls at her and even bares his teeth! It’s been like that since the first time they met – she’s psyched to play, he’s having none of it. Tonight Charlie (dog) and I went over to visit Loren and Charlie (person) for dinner and he wasn’t in the mood. She was so excited that she jumped off the couch and nearly landed on her head when we walked in. On the other hand, he wouldn’t let her close to him. She tried her best all night to get him to play. I wonder what it is.
