Charlotte loves to lie upside down on the couch. For that matter, she likes to lie upside down just about anywhere. On 6 December, Lynn writes: Charlotte has settled in nicely with our family. What's the matter mom . . . can't a girl get some beauty rest? Interesting that we have three female Airedales and they all get along great! Yawn . . . ..let me know when you're done. Charlotte has many of the traits Alice had and can bring a smile to my face as I notice them and remember my Alice girl. Okay . . . fine. I will go find something else to do. Charlotte likes to go out . . . come in . . . go out . . . come in . . . okay, Charlotte . . . make up your mind! She likes to lie on the couch and sleep a lot . . . so did Alice. Charlotte is very independent and doesn't always care to see what is going on with the other dogs . . . same as Alice. So many balls . . . so little time. Charlotte also has many nicknames. She is sometimes "Hoppy" as she hops up & down on her front legs when we come home and when it is dinner time. She is our "Busybody" as she is right at the pantry door with her nose in the dog food bag just as soon as we open the door. My hubby sometimes calls her "Fat Thing" although Charlotte prefers to be "Fashionably Chubby" Despite our efforts to help her lose some pounds . . . her metabolism seems to keep her right where she is. Our Shepherd, Kasey, loves to chew Kongs in half. Charlotte likes the smaller pieces.
