My name is Princess Charlotte of Hermann but everyone calls me Charlie. I live in a high-rise apartment overlooking Hermann Park. I like to sit in the windows and enjoy the view. On the floor is the scourge of my existence, Rupert. He and I have competitive shedding matches. You can never tell who will win. They feed him first in the morning. I would like him to wrestle with me, but he closes his eyes and curls into a ball.

Although I’m frequently annoyed, I must admit it would be too boring without him. We sleep at the same time… from 9 till 6 when the tw0-footed types are out buying food for us. And when they let him out of his pen they encourage us to play chase all over the house. I would miss him…, er… that.
