Meet Charlie

I didn't wake up yesterday thinking that I would end the day with a new puppy.. Strange how these things can happen when you're a parent.. This is Charlie..


I had been thinking about a dog for a long time but I was hesitant as it's such a big responsibility and we already have two cats. Charlie was hard to resist though. A mix of two of my favourite breeds - Beagle and Cavalier King Charles, he is very cute and so sweet and affectionate. The girls love him and Bridget, being the big animal lover like her mum, just dotes on him.

I am still getting over the shock of my husband allowing a dog to live indoors..I think Charlie could charm anyone though!

Halloween tomorrow, the girls are very excited. Halloween seems to be gaining momentum in Australia. I hope so, it's so much fun for the kids to dress up and go around the neighbourhood. You can see what we did last year here. Will you be doing anything for Halloween?

Charlie is just gorgeous. It's amazing how the men in our lives tend to become big softies when it comes to small fluffy dogs! Enjoy him and have a wonderful halloween...my favourite day of the year XOX

How gorgeous is he! My daughter is asking regularly for a dog and I would love one too. We have two cats too and not sure how they would go? As for Halloween we have been decorating the house and plan on Trick or Treating tomorrow. The kids are very excited and I have to say I am loving that Halloween does seem to be taking off here in Melbourne. Gx

Oh my goodness, he is divine! I'm a huge animal lover too, and our boy Darcy is such a big part of our family. Enjoy your new addition....if you can steal him away from your hubby, that is! Xx

Charlie is such a cutie. I think it is so good for kids to have a dog.

Kerry said...

That is one cute dog Rachael. And one spoiled dog before too much longer I suspect!

Oh your puppy is so cute! I'm very jealous! Have fun with Charlie and please keep posting pictures for me...please!!

We have just returned home from a lovely evening at our church. It was for the kids of course, but the priest managed to mention the religious side of Halloween and then we played games that involved lots of toilet paper and lollies! The kids will also be having fun tomorrow night so Halloween has already started in a big way at our place! I hope you all have a happy Halloween too!

Best wishes,
Natasha.

How completely adorable! No wonder you couldn't resist.

Love the styling around your front door - esp. the balls on the window above the door.

Have a great day!

Yay for Charlie! He's adorable. I love mixed breeds. I have two: a beagle/black Lab/?? mix and a spaniel/setter/Golden Retriever mix. They are great dogs. I hope you have much fun with Charlie. He's precious.

He's heaven and looks just like our dog Fergus who is a Cocker x Cavalier. They are the most gorgeous dogs and he is cherished in our family. Lucky You.

"Well hello Charlie"
MY little one would love a dog but we cant get past the commitment stage at the moment. We have been looking at various spaniel breeds for a while now. You defiantly have picked a cute one. Hope he brings your family lots of joy.
