THE BOOK OF BARKLEY: Happy Birthday Frankie

Happy Birthday Frankie

With Mom sick we totally forgot Frankie's birthday and I felt SO bad, so I am sending a virtual birthday card with lots of wags and kisses.

So Happy Birthday to my guy Frankie from the

Frankie Furter and Ernest

blog.

If you were here we'd let you eat one of Mom's Party Penguins (they're filed with cream cheese and the beak and feet are carrots) and we'd celebrate the big day.

But Mom wasn't feeling better so she went to the Horse-Spittle and they gave her some extra super duper antibiotics and sent her home and she should be feeling much better in a day or two. She leaves Sunday to go to Warshington State to spend a week with her Dad for his 96th birthday while I stay home with Dad who has a big project at work and couldn't take the time off.

Dad and I are serving up a HUGE thick crust pizza tonight and there's cold beer. Maybe we'll let Mom eat a piece to go with her NASTY unsweetened crapberry juice. (That's what Mom calls it though I really don't think there is a crapberry). Apparently the sweetened Ocean Spray stuff is super duper good, but NOT the health food store brand unsweetened which is what her Dog-tor told her to get.

Happy Birthday Frankie - hugs and wags. Your Abby

Oh my word Abby, those penguins look delicious! Crapberry juice can be delish too - unless it is serving the purpose of medicine, of course; then it's just plain yuk! Sending some POTP to mum and hugs and wags to the primary carer! YAM-aunty xxx

Frankie's birthday party looks amazing and that pizza is so tempting my friend. I too am in search for the DIY menu for my husband’s food tasting themed party. This bash would be held at one of the rental LA venues and the venue will arrange all the décor and seating whereas I want to make all of the food. Do you have any ideas for the menu?

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.
