Mountain Hiking with Charlie
Beautiful views
Beautiful puppy
Beautiful day 
Charlie – My best hiking buddy!
Colorado skies
Late afternoon hike

ever changing skies
King of the Mountain
Taken on the peak just behind our house. The first time I took him there a year ago, he could barely make it over a small felled tree. At this point, he’s leaping over everything and runs laps and circles to get in some exercise on this very short climb.
Charlie Loves Snow
Charlie loves the snow! He looks for the deepest pile he can find and burrows his face in. He happily frolics through drifts and pristine off trail snow. His most recent addition to his repertoire of enjoying the snow is roll in it on his back.
Charlie After a Romp in the Snow – Zzzzzz
Hiking in the snow is a good workout. Especially when there’s another dog to chase. 
After sleeping in his bed for a while (not shown here) Charlie’s second nap was under the table to remain close while I had lunch.
He decided he had enough energy to switch to yet another napping location which allowed him to be close to Mom. It’s nice to have a shadow. 😊
I love this face. 😍
Charlie’s first birthday!
Charlie before we met him!
Love at first sight! 😍
Charlie’s a great hiker and climber!
He reminds me to stop and smell the flowers.
He’s willing to get dirty in the name of fun!
And he is happy to get cleaned up and looking his best!
Charlie wants to operate heavy machinery.
Charlie loves forest life!
But the thing Charlie loves most is being close to Mama!
Happy birthday Charlie! 🎂💝🎂
