Charlie

  • age: 1
  • breed: Schipperke
  • hobbies: Unmitigated yet ladylike chaos. A dog park friend said that she "looks like a lady whose husband died in ... ahem, suspicious circumstances and is now living her best life swanning around town in a mink coat." I think she's more like a lady whose husband died in mysterious circumstances and is now living her best life hiking around the country in custom boots -- she's ladylike but loves to play rough, get muddy, and attack all running water. Her ideal day includes a morning hike, a wrestling date with her much larger bestie, and then a couple hours at the park in the afternoon.
  • worst habits: Monitors the sunrise. Every morning. We have recently negotiated that I only need to be involved to open the door for her at 4.30 and can then go back to sleep for an hour.
  • future plans: Are there national bitey-face championships? Because she's a contender.

Looking good Charlie!

5/5

Bought this harness when we were told to get a front-clip harness for "polite walking class" -- I never wound up using that feature, but it's been ideal for our hikes ... super comfy, easy to put on, and looks great in purple. Sizing was a little tricky to figure out -- at 8kg, I was surprised Charlie is in a 2XS, but we tried on our friends' XSes and they were definitely too big.
