Charlotte

Our boys love their dog.

Charlotte has to put up with a lot from them but there are times when they are super sweet to her. When they aren't being so nice by trying to sit on her or hit her with something, she'll walk away. On occasion she'll give them a warning mouth, but that's very rare.

The other day Charlotte was being very patient with their affection ...



We've still been trying to take Charlotte for long walks every night (she had lost a couple of pounds at her last checkup) but Brian has been getting home a little later and it's starting to get dark earlier. So we took her to the dog park at Tower Park twice this week. There is a unique diamond-shaped radio tower adjacent to the park.


Charlotte doesn't play a ton, but she has gotten some good sprints in with the other dogs. Carter and Rylan really love watching her and the other dogs run. Carter tries to run with them sometimes (so far he hasn't been taken out). Carter hasn't been scared of any of the dogs there but he's been good about waiting for us to be with him and approaching them cautiously.

So far we've liked this dog park better than the two we'd been to in Knoxville. The owners seem a lot more responsible and all the dogs have been friendly enough. The dog park is huge and there is a separate park for small dogs.

We've had so much fun that we've left at dusk both times we were there ...
