Charlie's 5th Post - Suwannee River Rendezvous

Hi, I am Charlie and if you haven’t seen my pages you are missing all my friends that visit me. Lots of my friends come back again. Mom tries to get pictures of all of them. Come on down to the lodge to get your picture taken if mom hasn’t gotten to it yet.

: This is Jimmy. He wore his neckerchief all weekend. I would have lost it ten minutes after Mom put it on me

: This little guys name is Killer. He was about as violent as my cat brother Killer.

: This is King. He loves the water but does not want to go in over his head. The last time King was here he was just a puppy. He is really big now and very sweet.

: This is Maggie and boy can she talk. Her mom and dad have her saying all kinds of stuff. Very impressive!!

: Miss Betty is such a sweet heart and so cute!! She is only 7 months old and so well behaved.

: This is Missy the Cow. That’s what her mom said anyway. Some people don’t know their animals too good because even I know that Missy is a basset hound. Some humans…

: Nestle loved swimming in the spring. I swam with him two years ago but I am feeling my years now. I wade in the spring cut and get my tummy wet.

: Nikki is 5 months old and got kind of tired at the concert.

: Odie and Bella are both Chihuahua’s. Mom wanted me to say that because she just learned how to spell it. They both had fun here. My friends come in the lodge to visit me and sometimes they stay for Karaoke.

: This is Okie. He is old like me and he likes food like I do. We have a lot in common. I showed him my food bowl but he is not into the diet senior food that mom buys me.

: Pearl is a Malamute. I believe she is from Alaska. Kind of hot for her in Florida but she loved swimming in the spring and that had to have cooled her down.

: Pierre was a little tired. Mean Mary was really good but two hours is a long time to sit with mom and dad.

: Amy, Pica and Ringo look like little teddy bears. They were so cute. Mom had a hard time with the picture so their dad sent mom this one. All proper sitting on the sofa.

: Pickle’s mom wanted him to go in the spring but he was not to sure about it. The water is kind of cold and I think that Pickles prefers warm bath water.

: Raffiki has been here before. He is waiting at the Cookin’ Shack for something to eat. He was hoping that someone would drop something and he would have first shot at it. No such luck on this day.

: I was showing Roscoe the art of discreet begging. He is only two years old but he was getting it down. He may be a little too discreet with the laying down part.

: Sam is my cousin from Minnesota. He came to visit with his mom and dad. His grandfather is the one who gave us the moose antlers that hang in the lodge. It was nice visit with family from up north.

: Sun Shine liked it here. She liked the water and the food. I try to show my friends the art of begging but most of them have it down anyway.

: Happy Doodle watched TV with mom. I was on the other sofa. We were watching the weather channel. I watch whatever my friends want to watch.

: Zanax gave me a good scratching. First my head then my back. Oh it felt soooo good.

: Alley was waiting for breakfast. She likes just about everything on the menu.

: This is Bam Bam with the cool leash. It glowed with the camera, kind of spooky.

: This cute little thing is Beamer. Her mom had a milk shake at the Cookin’ Shack and Beamer had some too.

: This is Benz and he is from Brooksville. His mom took him to see Mean Mary sing at the fundraiser for Autism.

: Mom hopes that this is Buddy. Cool handshake. Mom kind of got a couple to pictures messed up with the names. She really is getting up in years and can’t remember anything anymore. I try to help out but there is only so much I can do.

: This is Buster Butter Butt. I know, really different name but who can figure out humans. Buster didn’t seem to mind and his parents were really good to him.

: Callie came to see me in the lodge with her dad and he brought treats. Callie let me have some of her treats. I have a bowl of treats that I share but it is nice to have something new.

: Dexter was waiting for breakfast too. I don’t think his mom dropped anything though. It is our job as a dog to clean up anything that happens to fall on the floor.

: Flipper brought her ball to play with her at the Rendezvous. She is almost as old as me and still runs around after a ball. I already told mom if she throws a ball she can go get it.

: Ginger was very shy and did not like to get her picture taken. I don’t know why? She is the same age as me and she looks great!

: Gipsy is a Siberian Husky. That means that she is an international guest and I have heard that it is cold where she comes from. She came to listen to the band but her dad wouldn’t let her dance. I don’t dance that good anymore but I bet she is good.

: Gracie is a Schipperke and her family was trained to chaise rats off the boats on the rivers in Belgium. I don’t think that Gracie has done any of that. She is pretty busy with her little sister, helping her with the leash.

: Gracie and Little Buddy came to see me in the Lodge. They got to explore the resort and see lots of squirels and lizards.

: Happy came to visit and boy was she happy. Mom had to take about 30 pictures to get one where she was not moving. This is a pretty good shot of her though.

: Portia watched her family swim at the spring. She was very intense and did not miss anything that went on down at the spring.

: Jasmine is Gingers sister and she is not camera shy. Her mom says that she is a shaved golden retriever. I don’t think so. She looks like a Shitzu to me.

: Jethro is only three months old. He liked Mean Mary too.

: This is Ruby and she really is a very pretty girl. Mom had a little trouble with the camera phone on this one. She sort of misplaced the real cameria on her desk. Go figure that one. Ruby liked to sleep on the porch of the river room. Just watching the water roll on by.
