Shortly after Charlie entered our lives, I become involved in racing.  Charlie is an enthusiastic participant.  However, Charlie knows that his job is to worry about me, and he doesn't forget that when he is on the track.   On the oval, he'll sometimes make it around, but frequently, it exceeds the MMD (Maximal Mommy Distance), and he will decide to turn around and come back to me early. 

Charlie is a good dog with a good heart.  He tries at everything he does.  (Especially grabbing food off the counter.)
