King of the Pillows

Lately my new favorite thing to do besides playing with dogs, going to daycare, playing ball, and chewing bones is KNOCKING PILLOWS off beds and couches.  I must admit it makes my momma laugh.  She has told me I choose to knock pillows off of beds and couches because I'm a boy.  See, I really don't understand why she has pillows--Especially having 10 pillows on a bed.  All those pillows do is clutter the bed.  I have decided it is my job to remove the excess pillows off the beds and couches, so I have MORE room on the bed to sprawl out.    

Sometimes on days where I have more energy and feel devillish, I choose to take the comforter off the bed, the blankets off the bed, and the sheet off the bed.  See I really prefer to just a flat sheet.  Why do you need blankets and sheets and comforters??? I guess it is that momma gets cold at night.  BUT it is fun to knock it all to the ground. 

I have a few picture of me agian.  One is of me chewing my big bone.  I just love bones.  Also in the background is the bed I messed up!!!

My bed and my big bone!

One final question for you all:  Why do women like pillows?   Here's my momma queston:  Why do men think pillows are a nuisance? 

Well I will write again soon

WhAt A sUmMeR!!!

Greetings to all

My momma and I have finally gotten back to writing on this blog after a wonderful summer.  Here are a favorite of my highlights. 

My favorite of the summer was spending over 3 weeks with my Aunt Maggie!!  I spent 12 days with her at her lake home.  I enjoyed pontooning, walking in the woods.  I did also take an unexpected swim in the lake.  Boy was that refreshing and I'm glad my momma helped me out of the water.  I'm not so sure if Grandpa and Grandma enjoyed my daily wake-up call around 7:00 AM.  Iwas just so happy to be at Grandma and Grandpa's home.

I also got to play by my two, two-legged cousins!!  The littlest one even went in my house and tried to eat my food.  She kept saying Woof, Woof.  Then Maggie came and visited me in Rochester.  She was so lucky to visit me.  She got to go to daycare too.  I think that I like daycare more than here though!!!

I have had so much fun barking in the backyard at cats, squirrels, birds, kids, neighbor bob, and a slug.  I will have you know I caught the slug and ate it!  I also like my neighbor bob.  The other day he fed me a chocolate ice cream cone...a real human one.  My momma was not so happy with neighbor bob. 

I love daycare still.  Renee the owner is so good to me.  Now, that school has started some of my doggie friends are back at daycare.  Also,  Renee told my momma that I am a very SMART terrier.  I now can recognize my favorite playmates by the car that is driven into the parking lot!!! 

I better show you a few pictures of me!!! Here they come :)

Aunt Maggie loved the pontoon rides!!!!

See She is goning into my kennel.  Isn't that silly~~~

The Gardener--Barkley

I was such a big helper to my momma yesterday!  We planted flowers around a tree.  First, my momma dog up weeds.  While she did that I layed down in the flower bed.  Next when, she dog a hole for the flower, I assisted and dug a bigger hole for her.  She put water in the hole, and I chose to drink the water.  She planted the flowers.  She did a really nice job.  When she was cleaning up the yard, I chose to eat one of the flowers.  Momma wasn't happy.  There is now a new rule in the house--Barkley can not eat the flowers.  After gardening, I got a bath to was all the mud off of me.  What a fun day, playing in the dirt with my momma!

My Friend Bear

I have a new doggie friend named Bear.   He lives at my cousin's house, and he is a puppy.  He is a Labradoodle.  I do like playing with him.  One thing, I sure can outrun him in the yard.   I run and run circles and at time's he just stands there and watches me.  He is a great playmate.  He also lives with Mille (Goldendoodle) and Zoey (Standard Poodle).  Here are some fun picutres of my playdates at their house.

Playing with Bear at his house...                                                          

Really, I'm not that ferocious. 

 Zoey is the Referee of the two little dogs. 

Millie is the #1 dog of the house. 

I was so lucky to play with the dogs two times in one week.  Once on Mother's Day and then on my Favorite doggie lover 9-year-old's Birthday.  Happy Birthday E.T.W.

Spring 2010

My momma took a big test today!!  That is a good thing, because now she won't have to study, and she can spend more time with me.  I asked her to help me post pictures of this spring, so here they come!!!

Easter 2010

My Aunt Maggie came to visit me along with Grandma and Grandpa.  Grandma made us Easter egg scarfs.  Note all the pictures momma took.  Maggie and I decided we wouldn't cooperate for the camera. Which picture is your favorite?

Buffalo

This is my new yummy dog food from Solid Gold.  It is called Just A Wee Bit.  And it is made out of Buffalo.  Do you know my relative is on the package? Makes it that much better.

Happy May Day

My favorite 3 Neighbors brought me a May Day present!!!  I almost caught them with my momma's help.  Thanks, I love my chicken treats!  If I had been close enough to Grandpa, I would have left him a "special present" at his doorstep that starts with a T and ends with a D

May  Day Again

These are the treats we gave our neighbors and family members.  Who do they remind you of???  Is this narcissistic?

A Chew Toy or Not a Chew Toy?

Everynight I see my momma put this in her mouth, and it smells soooooo good.  So I decided it could be a chew toy.  I decided it smelled like my momma; it tasted like my momma, and chewed just like raw hide? When my momma saw me, I got my answer--this is not a chew toy.   Let's just say my momma is not happy with me, and she can't get in to see the doctor until the middle of July.  I chewed about half of it....My momma cleaned it really well, and is trying to use it until the new one comes. 

Well, I will "Bark" again soon ~ Barkley Dean

Happy Birthday Barkley!!!!!!

Many of you, may have wondered, why I haven't posted anything lately.  Well, my momma has been busy, she promises to write more and more.  Some of you may associate May 5th with Cinco De Mayo.   That is fine, but I will be celebrating something more personal for me.  Today is my Birthday!  I am officially ONE. My birthdate is May 5, 2009.  I have sure learnt alot this past year.  I now know that I need to go potty outside.  I am a great car rider now that I sit in the front seat.  I can sit on command.  I am an excellant ball player.  I can play with my tennis ball, soccer ball, and my basketball.  I know what the words walk, treat, outside, and daycare mean.  I know how to chew a ride bone really well. I am excellant at unzipping zippers and opening closet doors.  I have made lots of friends this year including the 2-legged kind and the 4-legged, furry kind.  I am also an excellant shopper at Pet Smart.   I've already started making transitions out of puppyhood.  I get to eat this new really good  dog food that is made out of buffalo.  Yup I eat buffalo.  My momma says tonight after dinner I get to eat puppy ice cream!!!!! I can't wait.  Also my momma said that daycare might have a little party for me today.  I'm also wearing my new styling shirt today!  I'm such a lucky puppy...oops I mean doggie :)

I LOVE walks

Do you see what I see??  I see Grass!  I also am on a walk.  I was such a lucky doggie yesterday because my momma took me on a walk.  A really really really long walk; I almost had to be carried home.  

I saw lots of things on this walk....I saw people, little birds, big birds (no not from sesame street), little dogs, and 2 big scary pitbulls that were loose...That was no good.    I was busy sniffy things.  You can see I sniffed a fire hydron!!!

Do you know what happens when, I sniff??? I soon want to write my name on everything, saying I was here.  So every chance I had, I stood on three legs and wrote my name....It was all very exciting.  I do wish my momma named me like Bob or Rob, Uno, Fiddo, because Barkley is very hard to write.  I almost lost my balance a couple times.

Today is another very nice day, so my momma and I are going to go on another walk.  I will "Bark" again soon ~ Barkley Dean
