My new companion

It's February 25, 2013 and here I am posting on my blog... the pictures are of Barkley my new "puppy". The pic of him on his back sunning himself, I think he's channeling Emma because that was her favorite spot and favorite thing to do. Then there is a pic with him standing up using the window sill for his front paws doing a scan to be sure everything outside our home is safe... good dog. The last pic is of him in my lap... yes he's 70 pounds and thinks he's a lap dog... but only with me... I put my reclyiner up, he hears it and comes over and puts his head on the raised foot part and stares at me until I welcome him up...he lays between my legs on the chair and puts his head on my chest then falls asleep... He is such a blessing to my life as my husband is an over the road trucker that is gone at least 4 weeks at a time and home for a very short 3 days. Barkley loves it when Ray comes home almost as much as I do. Ray can play rough with Barkley unlike me and he has a huge tug 'o' war toy that they have a blast with. This last trip home while Ray was tugging Barks around I was smart enough this time to pull out the camera that does video. Yep i videoed them. Then I posted it to youtube... the title to search for it if you want to watch it (it's short) is Tug 'O' War and I think it's under a sub catagory of pets. Oh and the pic of Barks sitting up is the one I saw on a facebook classified's website... I saw him, contacted his foster mom and went that very day to get him. He has the most beautiful markings and his eyes are so brown and as my husband puts it he looks sad... well he's not sad he's a very happy and loved rescue dog who found his forever home... with me...
