Steven S. said everything I first thought!!!
Charlie does look so pitiful as he gingerly places a foot on the hard rocks.
He is exploring and taking his baby steps in this hard world. “Feeling” his way around the hill.
But the sun is shining and we know he adapted very well to his life. He couldn’t have asked for any better than what he has with you, Shreve.

No caption idea, but a question: How did Eli relate to baby Charlie at first? I’m guessing Eli was a full-grown Tom at that point, and the dominant critter in your menagerie.
