Life of Barclay

Barclay is the lovable dog, he loves to cuddle, if the humans sit down he is right on top of them, Ok he is 70 pounds, but he thinks he is more like 7 pounds he walks around the edge of the chair and couch like a cat, it don't matter if you are a guest or family he makes himself right at home on your lap.
He still watches Shadow pretty close he likes to go after her sometimes for taking the wrong bone.
Barclay loves to go for walks, the other night when our Human Mom took the dogs for a walk Barclay stuck his nose under a fence and bam a dog pounced him and bit him on the nose, well it was bleeding so we had to get back home for first aid.. He is leary of that fence now when he walks..(they say Dogs don't remember but I think they do)
Barclay loves to eat (I mean anything) he is 70 pounds.. Barclay was a little worried when all the dogs went to the vet for shots he thought he was goiong to get put on a diet, but the weight issue went unnoticed. :)
Barclay loves bananas, hot dogs, cheese, any kind of meat, he will even eat salads..
We are so glad Barclay is part of the pack, he keeps everyone laughing..

Pugsley's gone to Heaven

We are sad to say Pugsley had to be put to sleep he had a stroke and lost the use of his legs, he lived a good life he was 15 years old, his Mom had him for 9 years and we have had him going on 6 years. He had never been around dogs before he came to live with the pack, but he soon learned how to play with all of us, and how to fight back.
He drove the humans crazy sometimes with the loud snoring, but he was a good dog and never caused trouble, other than the times that he passed gas and cleared the room.
Barclay one time shook him like a rag doll because he had a bone he wanted, Pugsley had a hard time getting over that.
Sweet Pea misses him the most he used to be her challenge in the mornings while Mom got ready for work, she would pull him around in his little bed and burrow her nose underneath him to make him tip out of the bed.
Pugsley loved pigs ears they were his favorite treat..
He is now in heaven with his Mom and Grams, and of course Brookie (me)..
Paws to you puckie we miss you!!
