For Grandma

So Barney found the squirrel...

Goose report

Innards intact.
Or they were this morning...

Update:
Innards intact.
Honker gone.
:-)

Thank you Kendree, Kristi and Kyle!!!!

For Julie's birthday... Barney scored BIG TIME.
I can't even believe I got him to sit still long enough with all these goodies around him for this picture.
Just look at all the things we got with the gift card from Petsmart!!!
Barney will be occupied for months to come (or I'm hoping these last months).

Thank you so much Spisak clan!
You've made a doggie (and Julie) very happy!!!!!

Geese maybe aren't his thing...

So on my trip home this weekend, I made the routine trip to the Charleston Walmart... and found a funny stuffed goose, equipped with the most-realistic honker inside I think you can get for five bucks.

Barney, however, really wasn't that interested.

Although I'm sure I'll wake up tomorrow morning and the thing will be gutted.


Here I'm wondering if he thought he might possibly be able to be closer to the ground than the goose...

Well, I can no longer say a guy has never gotten me flowers...

Barney no like fire

Barney did a fabulous "leave it" while he gave me my birthday cupcake. (Rather I sat it in front of him for this picture)
That is until the candle was lit.
Here it is, blown out... and him being rather nonchalant about it sitting next to him.
He needed a party hat.
Next year...

My dog... the Graduate

Mr. Barney is now a Adult I graduate... diploma and all!!!

I was on the fence as to whether or not we'd actually get to don the cap and gown (gown didn't fit... dang) due to the lack of time we had to practice the prior week—but he did me proud!

His final exam included:
1. Sit
2. Down
3. Stay
4. Touch (impressive seeing he now thinks any hand signal is "shake")
5. Shake
And the grand poomba finale...
6. "Leave it" with two treats, soft fish ones mind you (stink-a-roo), resting on both paws.

Yay, Barney!!!
