The “Pack”

Saturday, May 22nd, 2010

While Loren and (person) Charlie are out of town for a few days, the boys get a special treat in the form of another sleepover with Birdie. They fell right into their usual rhythm together, with Gus and Birdie playing and wrestling and “old man” Charlie splitting time between the sidelines and playing field.

So far, the most fun we’ve had was running around in the backyard. The dogs were feeling particularly photogenic, so I got some good pictures. Gus is particularly curious about the camera.

If I don’t take the picture quickly, he’s right up in the lens.

Charlie, on the other hand, mostly couldn’t care less. In fact, I often think that he purposefully avoids looking at the camera.

Sometimes the dogs would even fetch the mini tennis ball I was throwing to them.

Griffith Park

This morning, Charlie and I joined Dad, Aaron, Charlie and Birdie for a hike in Griffith Park. The hike was pretty tough – even by people standards. We were out there for well over an hour. The first half was a long switch-backing climb and then we descended back on the same route. The dogs were champs. They did great on the hike, were nice to the other dogs and people we met and Charlie was even tolerant of – if not totally friendly with – Birdie.

It was a beautiful, clear morning and the views over Glendale were fantastic.

I even got Charlie to give a big smile for the camera.

On the way back down, I mostly let Charlie off the leash. He knows not to go too far. Charlie even let Birdie off leash a little – I got a short video of it. She’s pretty easily distracted, but was very good at sticking with us.
