Charlies Schedule

Diane’s dog Charlie is her baby; more than her son ever was. He likes me better than Stewart did too, she tells me. Charlie’s therapy appointments are on Monday. On Tuesdays he has his nails groomed or his teeth flossed. Wednesdays are open for luncheon engagements with other pups. He gives me a break on Thursdays, Diane tells us. It’s my free day. Friday’s are for Charlie’s aerobic and line dancing. Saturdays he has yoga. What’s Charlie’s Sunday schedule? I ask her. Diane looks surprised that I asked. We go to church in color-coordinated clothing. I take him in a little matching case. I should have guessed.
