We vote to send that suckah overseas! We'll even chip in on the cost.......maybe he'll never make it back....

Woohoo! Tripawds Rule!

If Barney is going on a world trip it can't possibly be complete unless he stops in Australia!!!
If I was still in my earthly body it would be the "farewell to Barney" tour. As you can see, this Christmas teddy had no chance.
But fortunately for Barney I no longer have any teeth with which to rip his tiny little body into a million pieces 
.
However...... don't tell anyone......but I hear on the grapevine that there might be a little addition to my family. Mum thinks I don't know but she forgets....... I know everything now!!! I'm not saying anything more until I finish my story. Once that is completed then I will be ready to welcome the new doggie, but not before.
This new doggie only has 4 legs but I will be with her in spirit so I hope that still counts???
I have no idea what she would think of Barney but I'm sure she would be happy to show him the sights of Sydney on my behalf.
love

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/
Whaaaat? A new pack member? Ohhhh neat! You'll have to let us know if/when it happens!
As for Barney....well, you never know where his current travels will take him! We would love it if you showed him around down under!

I'm saying nothing more about any alleged new pack member. I've already said too much.
There is no way I'm sharing the limelight with any Monkeybutt upstart until I have finished my story.
But stay tuned...... because I would love to see Barney down under. If I keep working on my channelling I just might be able to do some damage to him yet

We volunteer in Shropshire, England, for Barney's arrival! Vader would be very pleased to meet him and we have lots of photo opportunities here! If you could get him here by the 31st of August, I will take him to the Paralympic games to watch the equestrian events! Xxx
Hey Vader, we're so hoppy you want to host him!
I don't think he can be there by that date, unfortunately, but I know that you'll show him a great time no matter where you go.
Stay tuned....

So I hear that Barney has never been to Bean Town, what's up with that?! No Sox games (although they are HORRIBLE this year), no swan boats, no witch tours, no chowdah or lobstah?! Well, I'd be more than happy to remedy that!
Now this would be sort of a "vacation" for Barney as he would not be chewed on by a tripawd or tormented by a pesky MB (unless I bring him to SGH for some pictures), but if he needs a break and wants to see some of the fair sights in and around Boston, he's more then welcome to come visit for a bit. I will be out of the country in the middle of October but after I get back would work for me...I'd even let him sleep on Angel Lupe's bed 
Let me know!
Thanks,
Kori & Angel Lupe

Oh man it would be the trip of a lifetime for Barney to go to Bean Town! YESSSSS!!!!

Oh we vote for Beat Town, too! We agree with Angel Lupes that the Sox are terrible this year, but Fenway might still be a good outing. Maybe after the "vacation" with Kori and Angel Lupe, you could send him just 30 minutes north to Dracut, MA to hang with Butchey and that Monkey Butt Lola. You can get heeah from theeeah. He might surely need Stuffectomy Triage after being with us though. But we have a special kit for that.
Oh the special things we'd do...and the special places we'd go.....
Butchey Hudson Dx with HSA (knee joint) 5/19/2011. Amp on 6/14/2011. 26 glorious months of ampuversaries. Earned his wings 9/9/2013. Forever curled up in my heart.
"Stuffectomy Triage!" Hahahaha!
I think a Beantown Visit would be great!

Two MA stops in 1 visit?! Barney would leave talking properly (although I have to admit, I'm a transplant from Western MA and don't have the typical accent)...he'd officially be Bahney
And hey, who needs postage b/c I'd be happy to deliver him up there provided I could meet Butchey (and MB Lola if she behaves)!
Fingers crossed he makes it out this way...

I am now registered as bustersmummy and we would still love to show Barney the seaside

Thanks for registering Buster's mum, your future posts will not require moderation.
I hope Barney gets to visit you!

How about sending Barney to what I call... "Small Town USA" Hartland, Wisconsin !?
Our tripawd chocolate lab Hunter would love to host Barney for a while.
And his monkeybutt sister is a fan of stuffed animals as well.
I'm sure they would have a grand ole time playing tug-o-war with him. After that they would probably suck and chew on him a bit before one of them rolled over on him into our carpet! What a fun photo and video opportunity that would be!

Our Super Dog Hunter crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on a beautiful summer day in July, just 3 days shy of his 10th Birthday. He gave us everything since he was 8 weeks old. Hunter was a 14 month warrior of OS. We LOVE and MISS him every day.
