Charley waits to have the excess hair in his ears removed. A lot of hair had grown back in the five and a half months since his last cleaning, so he protested about it quite a bit. Going every four months would probably be better. Having this done helps keep his ears clean and reduces the chance of ear infection. The doctor also tested his ears for infection, but he didn't have one.

Charley is used to having his picture taken since he was very little. He is a very good model and always waits patiently. He seems to understand it is a form of interaction. He will move where you ask him to and wait. When other people ask to take his picture, he will pose patiently until they get their shot.
