A Dog Bling

Hi Friends, Last week I reviewed another story from the Adventures of Charlie the Ranch Dog (written by Ree Drummond).  Since we have that book out and are reading it at my house, I thought we could review another story from the book.  This story is called Charlie Goes to the Doctor.  Yikes!   Going to the doctor can be frightening.   It is a good subject to talk about!    I gathered the younger pets in the family to read about doctors together.  Smudge, my cat is a year old and Bliss, the pup, is 10 months old.  They will be going to the doctor again soon and it is important for them to not fear doctor visits. In the story, Charlie wakes up one morning not feeling well.  Charlie's mom is very worried and decides to take Charlie to the dog doctor, a veterinarian, right away.   Once they arrive at the doctors, Charlie becomes afraid.   While in the waiting room, Charlie meets a puppy named Hicko...

Hi Friends, Many of you know how much I LOVE "Charlie The Ranch Dog" books by Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman).   Charlie lives on a real ranch and is a real dog -  just like me.   I pretend to be a ranch dog.  Really, our property is a hobby farm.  A hobby farm is bigger than a regular property, but not as big as a ranch.  I have chickens just like Charlie. This story about Charlie is titled "Charlie's New Friend".   In the story, Charlie wakes up and heads to the kitchen for breakfast.  He is very surprised to find his bowl empty.   He goes outside to find his mom and see what is happening.   Here is one of my favorite parts - once outside he sees a SQUIRREL .  He chased the squirrel up a tree.  Someday, I want to do that too!   My squirrels are too fast and are always in the trees by the time I get outside.  Yikes, back to our story.   Charlie passes the garden and disc...

Hi friends, It is time for this week's book review.   For a few weeks we are going to be enjoying a collection of stories in one book about Charlie the Ranch Dog.  There are 5 stories in this particular book featuring one of my favorite dogs, Charlie.   Charlie is a Basset Hound and he is hilarious.   Charlie lives on a ranch and is an official ranch dog!  We are going to really enjoy reading his stories.  The name of this week's story in the book is Where's the Bacon?    The story is written by Ree Drummond and illustrated by Diane deGroat . I love my girlfriend, Faith.   My mom actually calls us the twins.   We aren't twins, but we do everything together.   Friends are wonderful.   Reading is great whether you read by yourself or read with a friend.   This week's story is about friends - new friends. In the beginning of the story, Charlie finds there is a guest dog staying at...
