We are keeping our neighbors' dog, Abby, for the week. We like Abby, and she's pretty easy going (though certainly not nearly as easy going as Charlie). Another set of our neighbors asked us if their dog, Gracie, could hang out with us for a while this morning while they had some movers at their place. So, instead of just Charlie, Rich and I had three dogs to hang out with today! Quite the puppy party. Charlie could have cared less, Gracie was (strangely) terrified, and Abby became suddenly very territorial. As much as we will miss our neighbors when we move to CA, we will also miss their canine companions. I don't know if Chuck will notice or not, but Rich and I definitely will.

These are pictures of Charlie while we watched President Obama's speech today. Charlie is not easily amused, nor easily deterred from his morning/afternoon/evening nap.
