More: Charlie is 15 and a half years old and weights 8 lbs. He goes hiking with me 3-4 times a week. Even at his age he does 4-6 miles. He loves to go with me! He is my partner out on the trails. He goes everywhere so he has hiked in the Blue Ridge mountains (where we live), Wisconsin "upnorth" woods! He goes to the gulf coast to play in the sand. He even goes kayaking with me!! Charlie is the best and everyone stops and asks me about him. He is so cute and has the best personality.
