charlie wore her faux alpaca (it has a picture of an alpaca i think, if that's an animal) sweater for the first walk and tried to peel it off. the chuckit ball has revolutionized our walk. when she has it in mouth nothing fazes her. when i throw she brings it straight back to me and she doesn't even chase squirls or goosers. this aft we doffed the sweater and naturally there was a snow squall when we played chuckit on the soft green of the old clay tennis courts.
