Charley visits New Jersey. Charley rode the train to visit his aunt and uncle. It was his human cousin’s birthday and he helped with the celebration. Here all the houses have nice green lawns and most with big friendly dogs. Charley got to meet many of them during his visit. On this morning he walked all over the neighborhood, then suddenly decided he’d walked enough and stopped for a rest at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.
