so barney got put to sleep earlier than expected. tear. miss you pupppy.
me and marianne were thinking about barney memories tonight when i was over lydia's. here are some (if you don;t know barney he was like 15 yrs old and we adopted him when he was six)--
the adoption place told us that he loved cats, that's a reason we got him...we had two cats...well, right when we let him in to our house, he found milo and began attacking...we should have sent him back then haha but we kept him.
he used to stay on the landing of our stairs and sit there and stare out the window barking at any little thing that went by. he would do this all day.
he bit marianne's dad
he hated the mailman
he ate alllll of my halloween candy once. the candy was hidden but he found it in my room and ate every last piece and then my mom found him with candy wrappers and loli pops stuck to his fur. chocolate usually kills dogs. not my barney.
he used to go on hikes in the woods and roll in other animals feces. yuck.
he hated all other dogs except for puppies
one time ryan had a hockey party and some of his teammates came over and they were going to go hiking at the falls in melrose and me marianne and my dad went into the woods before them and hid and stuff to scare them and my dad was wearing a wolfman mask and barney began attacking him hahahahaha
he always followed my mom everywhere
my dad took him hiking once and he lost him in the woods and thought that hed never see him again and after searching up there for a while he walked back home and saw barney waiting on the front porch of our house waiting for him. barney had traveled home all by himself hahahaha
when he got old he got arthritis and in the winter it was worse so once when my parents took him for a walk downtown his legs froze up and my mom had to put him in a grocery cart and push him home.
when i took him for a walk at night we ran into poo poo can and her dog and barney got their lieshes all tangeled up and barney wouldnt stop chasing her dog and i was dragged on the sidewalk cutting up my knees. poo poo can calledbarney a brute from that day forward
soon we got daisy and barney kept her inline and she would do whatever he did. he taught my daisy well. sometimes they would chase eachother around
when we moved to maine we got a built in pool and he would fall in it.
ahhh so many more memories. we looooove you vernonnnnn. miss you puppy.
