Hunter Gets His Own Barney

Superdog Hunter gets his own authentic plush Barney doll.

Hunter the superdog got his very own Barney for Christmas!

“We felt he earned his own and it has made him feel quite special since his monkey butt sister Hailey didn’t get one.”

Authentic plush Barney dolls are rare. But any Tripawd will tell you, there’s nothing like sinking your teeth into the real deal. Just ask any dogs who have hosted the KillBarney Tour!

Original Barney DollGet your pup a real Barney doll on Amazon, and you’ll be supporting the Tripawds community while giving him a piece of Tripawds history to chew on.

Yesh, you too can host the KillBarney Tour. Just add your name to the I Want Barney list in the forums and be sure to indicate if you are in the U.S. or overseas. That way memebrs will know which of Jerry’s two traveling Barneys to send you. Stay tuned for more fun adventures from the KillBarney Tour, or check the map to see where our little purple friend has been, so far…

Barney Heads to Bean Town

Spirit Lupe’s mom hosts the KillBarney tour in Boston, Massachusetts.

We were just starting to wonder where the KillBarney Tour will take Jerry’s little purple friend next, when we received this sweet leter from lupepod

Greetings Spirit Jerry!

I am writing to let you know that your faithful purple friend has made it safely to Massachusetts!  He couldn’t have arrived at a better time for me…it was 6 months ago last week that Lupe earned her wings and joined you and all the other tripawd warriors at the Rainbow Bridge and I have missed her so much.  I knew he was coming, Hollybeans mom told me he was on his way, but I didn’t expect him today.

I had run out to the center of town to pick up movie tickets for me and friends to see a movie tonight, picked up some last minute holiday gifts (one of them is a special thank you for my brother as he was my rock through Lupe’s illness) and when I got home there was a box in the entryway (I live in a house that has 3 apartments).  I saw it was for me and was from Oakland, CA.  Took me a second as I don’t know anyone from Oakland, but then I realized what it was…I grabbed it and ran up the stairs giggling like a schoolgirl.  Barney had arrived!

Barney arrives in Beantown

I opened the box and there he was in all of the chewed on glory.  I am so excited to go through the box and see what other tripawds have added and to read all of the stories in the journals.  Barney’s adventures in MA will start tomorrow, he’s going to meet Lupe’s “friend” Sugar (she’s a crazy monkeybutt Maltese) and he will definitely have a few things to see in the western part of the state.  When we get back he’s off for his first visit of Boston and the surrounding areas.  But he’s already made himself a part of Red Sox Nation.

Barney arrives in Beantown

I’m so excited your pawrents and the other tripawd pawrents have kept your Barney’s tour going.  While Barney won’t get chewed on during his visit with me, we are going to have a great time and I know your spirit will be looking down on us wondering what he’s doing…just ask Lupe she can fill you in. 🙂

Much love to you and your pawrents and Wyatt!  Here’s to a great holiday season in Beantown!!!  2012 wasn’t an easy year for me but having Barney here reminds me of the love and support of an amazing group of people!!!

Stay tuned to Spirit Lupe’s blog for more photos and updates from Barney’s Boston adventures. Check the KillBarney Tour Map to see where Barney has been, or post in the I Want Barney forum topic if you’d like to see your pup shred Barney.

Now, if only we knew where that International Barney has flown off to…

Ruby Takes KillBarney Tour Seriously

Monkeydog Ruby attacks Barney for Spirit Magnum down under on Australia KillBarney tour stop.

This just in from Spirit Magnum’s pack, down under…

Barney has now arrived in the most beautiful city in the world………Sydney, Australia!

Monkeydog Ruby Attacks Barney

My normally gentle and reserved monkeybutt sister, Ruby, greeted Barney with considerable gusto, taking the “kill barney” tour very literally. I confess to having a paw in her overly zealous greeting (one of the many advantages of being a spirit. 🙂

Obviously I am very disappointed that I couldn’t be here in my physical form to greet Barney although if I had greeted him he may not have been in any condition to enjoy the sights of Sydney. I know Ruby will be kinder to him and show him a wonderful time.

Barney reads Spirit Magnum's Memorial Book

As you can see, Barney was very moved, howling uncontrollably, after reading my story, but I have assured him that life goes on and I am never far from my pack, guiding and watching over them.

I will post soon with an update on Barney’s adventures down under.

love, kisses and hugs

Oh. My. Dawg! Have y’all heard?

International Barney Flies to New Zealand

That’s right, Travelin’ Barney has taken his farthest trip yet on the KillBarney Tour. Read all about Barney’s New Zealand Adventures that Sarah posted in the Anything Goes discussion forum.

Domestic Barney lands in Oklahoma

Jerry’s other Barney doll Barney recently arrived in Oklahoma. As Scout has moved on to the bridge, Monkeybutt Tom filled in as greeter.  Tom didn’t quite know what to make of the purple cross-dressing dinosaur but quickly noticed the tag was still on his dress and removed it for him (sorry Bret, no more plugs).

Tom quickly got to work, engaging Barney in a death roll.  Then, Barney put Tom in a trance, and made his escape.  This is Barney’s first visit to OK  and he is determined to check it out.  Tom has since awakened from his trance, but Barney has made a run for it.  Tom will eventually track him down, and they will continue their Oklahoma adventure.  Stay tuned for more gory details from Barney’s Okie visit…
