On New Years Day 2009 we got a little "New" addition to the family. Please welcome "Little Charlie". Charlie is a rescue dog and the Vet says he's about three years old. I love him because he's not a little "Yipe" dog. He really thinks he's a Labradore so he doesn't bark all that much and is the mello-est dog I've ever met. Just gotta LOVE that face !

I'll be updating this page from time to time with more "Pics" of Charlie. I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do. To get the most recent accounts of Little Charlie's adventures, please scroll down. These pictures are in chronological order, top to bottom, with the most recent at the bottom of the page.

Charlie was a little scrawney when we first got him. He had been in four different homes the previous four months before we got him. So I can't blame him for being scared & hungry.

After his first bath that we gave him. Not quiet sure what to make of that experience.

Charlie found a new friend in Sophia, or is that the other way around ?

Rehearsal at Johnny's house. Charlie was originally given to John, my Bass Player , who already had three dogs of his own and just couldn't take on another even though Charlie finds a way into everyone's heart. Charlie really does think that he's a Lab and doesn't have a problem with big dogs. Here he is with Johnny's trio, Zoe, on the left, Charlie in the middle, Bunny , A Bull Terior at the top and Winnie on the right.

Nap time

Charlie with Big Sister, Dea, working on their "Sun Tans"

One day Charlie decided to help himself to Dea's bed

Charlie will come and stay with me in my downstairs office a lot. I keep the heater on and the door closed so it's always warmer down there than in the rest of the house. He likes his favorite downstairs bed......my rain coat.

We had rehearsal a week or two ago at the house and Charlie decided the best view of the band was from Johnny's bass guitar case

Just gotta LOVE that face !

Little Charlie and i have also discovered a new and improved way to watch the San Francisco 49ers play on Sunday, or just take a nap.

Here's me and "Little Charlie" at the studios for Ch. 26 in Pacifica CA. Sharon & I got Charlie on New Years Day 2009 and he's been just a little blessing. He's even found a new way to help me warm up my voice before a show.

What's in YOUR wallet ?

Hiding out from the house painters in his bed, in my downstairs office

Hmmmmm, guess these guys aren't so dangerous after all

Helping "Daddy" with the web site

Another bath!!!! It's cold out there, leave me alone!

Sharon took these in our kitchen on her IPhone. This is Charlie in his favorite "Chair"

Ya think he's comfortable? .....Ya THINK ??????

He's little but he's "Tough". He's our little "Harley-Davidson" pup

Summer of 2010, Sharon & I went to visit her niece in Stockton, CA. Here's Charlie working on his tan.

C'mon Charlie, it's hot and there's a pool! The pool was great.

Nah

Charlie, drying off.

Here's Sharon's nephew Zae with our little star and yes, Little Charlie does know how to smile.

Sharon and I recently made a trip to Los Angeles for the weekend. Johnny, my bass player, took care of Little Charlie for us. Ah, our little "Naked-Nudie" working on his tan on Johnny's deck.
