No. We haven’t been robbed!

My friend was reminding me today of a story from over the summer. I’d been out partying the night before and being a little broken I thought I would have a nap on the sofa at lunchtime. Charlie hopped up and he got snuggled up under the blanket for a little sleep.  Off we dozed until I could hear voices calling my name. I’d forgotten that I had invited my friends and their baby over for coffee to meet Charlie and they had let themselves cautiously in having had no response when they knocked and were calling for me. However, it would appear that Charlie had not been asleep for the whole time, he had been having a bit of a party whilst I was asleep! There were cushions everywhere, toys shredded, he had ripped out the stuffing on the sofa – total carnage! The first question “have you been robbed?!” No I had to admit, this is just what Charlie does when I am not watching him!

So after this wonderful first impression, Charlie was not done, he promptly stole the baby’s rattle and hooned off around the garden with it, requiring me to chase him about. Not great when you are hung over and a little sleepy.
Luckily Charlie was pretty well behaved whilst they were visiting and spent most of his time in the garden. Thomas then pointed out that Charlie kept running in and out of the kitchen. That was when I realised that he was running in, stealing a packed of Smackos, running outside to snuffle them and then coming back for more, he ate five packets – naughty beagle!
