Be carefulwith that Barney, I'm not absolutely sure he's not an imposter! The last time I remember seeing the little guy he was being toted off in an ambulance. I had to make up some stupid love story because I felt so guilty. You had better do a paw print just to make sure!

See how much Fortis loves me!!!???
He killed Barney for me!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Noooooooo!

MMMMPwwwAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHSNORT... Monkeybutt, you should get Barney and torture Comet vomit with it. I think she is scaredy cat of Barney. You could really mess her up. Did you see Barney on fire? Yikes. He knew how to stop drop and roll. Stupid dino.
Remember how I said if I had an extra squeaker, I would give Barney open squeaker surgery so Chloe would be more likely to play with him? Well, Mr. Camo Man decided to donate his squeaker to Barney if he ever gets the chance to meet Chloe. That was one of his last dying wishes...
As you can see, if Barney has a squeaker, Barney will be in trouble. Mr. Camo Man passed away at 8:40am. You can read his obit and about his funeral in my blog.

Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Add Chloe's name to the list! Death to Barney!
Monkeyface Mattie - keep out of it!

The snow is finally gone, the bluebirds are singing and the Dalmatian Den officially invites Barney to "vacation" in Western New York, home of Letchworth State Park aka The Grand Canyon of the East. Daisy said that she will give him a lift round the park on her new snazzy wheels but cannot promise that Monkeybutt Samson will not try to toss him down the 550 ft gorge into the Genesee River as a sacrificial offering to the Monkeybutt gods.
Daisy earned her wings on Oct 22, 2011 at 14 years old
She is now the official greeter at the rainbow bridge
Everyone is guaranteed a welcome sniff and Dalmatian smile
I know Barney has recently been to Washington state, but we'd welcome an opportunity to host the little purple beast. Rio is all about gutting, maiming, de-squeakering and in every other way, destroying any and every toy that comes into the house. But these days, the chemo is getting the better of her, and she's not feeling all that inspired to be her usual destructo-doggy self. It sucks when your ampuversary and your birthday fall around the same time, and you just don't feel up to celebrating. A visit from the purple guy might be just what she needs to perk up.
(We're going for a full on sympathy vote! )

PS: And then there's Zeffy. Zephyr grabs all new toys and runs into her kennel in the bedroom where she'll stay for hours, only occasionally emerging to parade through the house with her new baby, so that everyone can see what a special new toy she has.

Weeeeeee waaaaaant Baaaaarneeeeeee. Weeeeeee willlllll shooooow himmmmm a realllly gooooooood tiiimme heeeere in Oaktowwwwwooowwwn (said in my best scary 'Shining' voice). Oh, yesh, we will! The Oaktown Pack knowz how to treat a guest, oh yesh they do! We'll get him a bullet proof vest an a fancy ride with rims an a AK-47, or maybe a rocket-launcher! Woohoo! But we think he should go to Rio first 'cause she def wins the sympathy vote around here! Then when Rio is done with him she can just ship him down the west coast to us!

Codie Rae,
We will happily forward what's left of the purple Dino down so that you can pimp him out--if we get him.
To amp up the sympathy votes, we are currently en route from Denver to Seattle, an 18+ hour drive. We made the trek out on Friday for a family funeral. Rio's great grandmother passed away last week -- just two weeks before her 94th birthday.
We need ya, Barney! It's been a tough month!

So sorry for your loss, try to enjoy the rest of your trip. Hopefully Isabelle will tell her mom that Rio would like to sink her teeth into him!

Thanks, Admin Guy, we appreciate your vote! April kinda stunk! We are hoping for a halfway decent May, and a visit from Barney would definitely bolster our spirits. Then maybe the fact that it's 37 degrees and raining wouldn't be so depressing! We need to shred some purple!
