Kayla and Sarge have been doing there best to kill Barney even working together at times
But Kayla turned a bit soft and sorta fell in love.... awwwwwwww
Barney has also been busy meeting the other members of our extented family including latest addition Harry..
And also sharing breakfast with Mr Bruce and his girls..
He has also been enjoying a bit of down time in the garden..
and of course enjoying the views ...
So while Barney hasn't exactly been murdered in NZ he has certainly had fun but it almost time to pack up and ship out before Kayla falls completly head over heals. Although we will try to show him a few more sights before he leaves and we will also work on Kaylas inappropriate feeling toward this little purple dinosaur.
Sarah and Kayla,
I am so glad that Barney came to visit Kayla down in New Zealand!! I love the pics with Kayla laying with Barney. There is a strange love/hate relationship that's hard to explain. They want to tear him to shreds, then they want to sleep and snuggle with him. Aww, so glad he made the trip to see you guys! Hope you enjoyed him as much as we did!
All our Best

PS Glad to see Sarge got to get in on the action too!!
Jack Russell born in 2001. Mast cell cancer found Dec 2009 and right rear amputation. Five rounds of chemo done before all treatment stopped. Living life to the fullest!! Read my story at http://rizzo.tripawds.com
That is just too cute. It looks like Barney adores country life and has won over Kayla. He may not want to leave NZ.
He's going to have some nice smells on him for his next hosts!
Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/
Yes, you need to educate Kayla before she goes to the dark side! Barney is a booger and very sneaky and dangerous. He incites riots and causes good dogs to go bad. Intervention!
So glad your pack is getting to start the tradition abroad and beginning the stink process on Barney. Make sure to get him nice and stinky before you send him off!

From abandoned puppy to Tripawd Warrior Dude, Dakota became one of the 2011 February Furballs due to STS. Our incredibly sweet friend lived with grace and dignity till he impulsively raced over the Bridge on 12-15-12.

Oh what fun! We didn't realize you had a farm! I'm glad Barney got to meet the whole zoo you've got going on, I think that's a first for him.
It looks soooooo pretty where you are. My Momma says she's going to pack herself up in a box marked "BARNEY" all over it, then ship herself to New Zealand to see you Kayla!
Thank you for being such fabulous hosts! Oh I forgot to ask, what did you decide to keep from the box of treasures?

Wow, it does look like Kayla has a bit of a crush on Barney! Well, those things happen to the best of us. And I'm with Rene - I would like to come visit you in NZ also! Looks like you have a great place with lots of great animals! Kayla & Sarge are lucky pooches!!
I would have loved to add some photos of Barney and some more of the beautiful sceanery but the weather is crap at the moment so I found these photos instead. The first one is a river 10 mins north of our place and the second one is the road we travell into town 30mins away) its about 5mins south of home.
Not really a farm where we live on just a little one- we just have a couple cows, hens, 1 duck, and the 3 cats, 2 dogs and fish 
yeah pretty much a zoo!!!!
LOVE all the photos! Especially the one of Kayla - even if she has lost her mind and fallen head over 3 heals for that stinker, Barney.
Wow, it looks so beautiful there! I've wanted to go to NZ for a long time now. One of these days! If someone would hurry up and invent that 'beam me up' technology it would really help!
Glad the whole zoo had fun w/ Barney!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
Yo Kayla! Don't let the 'lil purple dude take you fur a ride. Dakota Dawg is right, he's a sneaky 'lil prat and he'll do ya bad if you don't watch your back.
We want to come visit too! My mom has always wanted to see New Zealand up close and personal. Maybe we can charter a jet and all us Tripawds peeps and dawgz can come!
