Charlie and the Basement Stairs

Charlie is still a little guy weighing just over 9 lbs at 9 weeks old. So a 15 step stairway must seem huge to him. Wilma, Kramer and I went into the basement and I left Charlie standing at the top hoping he would follow.

Although he wanted to, the long stairway seemed to be too much for him.

After some coaxing, he did make it down a few steps, but then he turned and ran back up (must be easier to go up!)

So I carried him down towards the bottom, where the end wasn't so far away. After some hesitation, he made it to the bottom!

After sniffing all around the basement, he decided he likes it better upstairs and climbing all the way up and snuggled against the door.
