Best Easter Ever - Holiday Pressies!

Mom has been super duper busy and has not had time to log onto the computer for me to post but I HAD to show you the super neat pressies my sweetie Frankie Furter sent for easter.

First, there were peeps for Mom and Dad to blow up in the Microwave, (Mom, who skipped school to go watch Star Wars in the theater in college is a fan of fun entertainment).The picture is the autograph she was asked to give for actor Peter Mayhew who plays Chewbacca in all the films - he is a fan of animal rescue and The Book of Barkley. (Mom's photo of him reading the book on set made her smile for about two months because she is SUCH a Star Wars geek.)

Look at the bottles below. Puppy Grigio. Cabernet Barkingnon. BOL. It's the coolest toy - it's a water bottle AND a squeaker inside so it is both crunchy and squeaky. It is made by Greenbrier Kennel Club and can be found online at dollartree dot com!

I got two of them - one red squeaky and one white (you know in case Mom gives me a salmon treat)

Aww, I "heart" you too Frankie.

Oh, Milk Bone soft and chewys! And a Minties to gnaw on - I will have the freshest breath ever (until I can go eat more rabbit poop).

Thanks so much to the Price household and especially my Frankie for making it the best Easter ever!

I was really Sad that I couldn't find and Vintage 1987. Butt as long as the Crinkle and Squeaks last fur a SHORT TIME... I guess they will have to do...
Roxy has already Totally Deaded one of HERS... you need to Go Fur it Girrrl... Dead and Shred... THAT is where the FUN is... If you only KILL the KRINKLE... your mom can take the Cap off and put it on a NEW water bottle... fur a Second Chance at it...
I Hope that you can eat the Milkbones...
Glad that you like the Greenies... They sort of leave the mouth all Tingly...
I want to THANK YOU AGAIN fur All the MAGNIFICENT thingys that you sent to ME... YOUR gifts to me, are MUCH MORE Special than Mine to You were.
Love You Abby,
YOUR Frankie

There's nothing like getting pressies for Easter is it? Looks like you and your family had a wonderful holiday! Your Frankie is certainly a sweetie!

Yups Easter and Christmas are the busy holidays here too. Mom knew she'd be cooking for a couple of days and simply posted a blog saying they'd be no blogs Easter week. BOL I still laugh at that one.

FIVE STARS

No one who has ever had a dog as a companion will be able to read The Book of Barkley: Love and Life through the Eyes of a Labrador Retriever by L. B. Johnson with dry eyes.

Johnson tells the story of her life, from childhood to adulthood, from the perspective of her relationship with Barkley, a Lab that she got when he was just a stubborn ball of fur who ‘selected’ her when she viewed the litter of which he was a part. Her descriptions of adjusting to Barkley’s presence in her life, and how this helped her come to terms with and understand her past and learn to take life a day at a time on her own terms will resonate profoundly with anyone who has fallen in love with a dog and had to learn to live with its loss.

This is a story of unconditional love and acceptance, the kind that asks nothing but love in return. As Johnson and Barkley forge bonds of trust and understanding, she also strengthens her human relationships.

This is much more than a mere memoir – it is a story of life and how to live it, and how we humans can learn to live our lives better if we’d only learn to live it like a dog does. The author uses language well, with descriptions of animals, people, and places so vivid you feel that you can feel the textures, smell the odors (pleasant and otherwise) and hear the whining of a puppy needing to go out to do its business. Life can be sad or happy, and the author takes us through it all – a trip that you won’t regret taking. A five-star book that definitely merits the Awesome Indies Seal of Excellence

About Barkley and His Mom

My Mom started this blog due to requests from friends who wanted a place to go for stories of her furry friend Barkley that weren't in the book and stories of my rescue and new life in my furever home. She donates all of the proceeds from her writing to animal rescue and groups that train search and rescue and service dogs but that's OK, as she still gives me lots of dog treats and toys.

The Book of Barkley is Mom's first memoir. She used to be a jet pilot for somebody's Uncle but now has a Ph.D. in something involving science and forensics which is like TV but without expensive suits or cleavage. Additional mayhem is provided by my Dad and our 100-year-old "fixer upper" Mission Bungalow.

Her second memoir "Saving Grace - A Story of Adoption" was published in April of 2015". Her Third Book - "Small Town Roads", her first Fiction Novel was published October of 2016 and was an NPR selected "2017 must read" and 2017 Readers Favorite International Book Award GOLD for "Fiction - Religious Theme". Her 4th book, "Calexit, The Anthology", a Novella with other authors, was published in October of 2017 and was on the Amazon Best Seller's list two days later. Her fifth book "True Course - Lessons from Life Aloft" was a #1 best seller at Amazon 24 hours after publishing so I think she has been bribing you all with treats.
