Chewy is Here!

Mom - my Chewy order is here and you're not opening the box!

Le Sigh.

Seriously, Mom, you're just going to sit there?

Yay, she got the knife from the kitchen, I know what happens next. And yes, I know I have "sit" and not snoot or sniff while the pointy thing is out!

Yum. My All time favorite treats. Blue Buffalo Blue STIX. They smell and taste SO Yummy. I just go crazy for them. Chewy had a whole bag on sale for $4.29. Seriously check out Chewy's specials, you'll never know what bargains you will find!

Mom likes them as they're soft enough to break into pieces or feed to me whole if I've been EXTRA good.

Mom got a different flavor of Blue Basic. This one is LAMB, instead of Turkey, but Mom says it has no grains, just potato, which is great for my sensitive stomach. Mom is putting a half of a cup in my food tonight to integrate it into my current flavor.

Look, Mom left the bag open while she put the measuring cup away!

I better check out that security breach.

Looking into it further . . .

munch, munch, munch.

OK, Mom, no more "snacking". It's almost dinner time!

Oh, those blue stix look and sound quite tasty - we just might have to paw at Mom to get us some too.

Have a great weekend.

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.
