The love/hate relationship between three-legged dogs and a small purple dinosaur.
FrankenBarney last seen in Slab City, USA
Who is that Half Pint, anyway? And what does he have against animals?
If Wyatt ever finds out, he’s likely do to him something similar to what he has done with poor FrankenBarney!
Check out Barney’s travel blog for more about his pilgrimage to the Church of Broken Toys in Slab City, USA. And stay tuned for news about the next stop on the KillBarney Tour.
Spirit Peyton welcomes Barney to Loveland, CO for puppy play time with Rhys and Dillon.
This just in from Loveland, Colorado: Barney has been partying with Spirit Peyton’s Pack!
We received an exciting package from Alaska last week. To our surprise it was Barney. We were really excited to meet him and experience all the previous Tripawd hosts. He made it very hard to want to kill him. We took turns chewing on him, as well as each other.
Barney was happy to sit on the sidelines watching. The week was pretty uneventful until Saturday.
Mom and Dad took Barney on a road trip around Northern Colorado in a new MINI Cooper. Barney was excited to pose in and on all the different cars. Later we took him up towards Estes Park where Barney got to experience true Colorado weather. In the morning it was nice and sunny and in the afternoon it was cold and snowy.
While on our mountain trip Barney played in the snow, in the river, and climbed trees.
At one point we caught Barney in a BBQ pit because Rhys was curious as to what BBQ Dinosaur tasted like. We had a great adventure.
The KillBarney tour must go on because we also failed the mission. We had such high hopes that the new little guy would rip him to shreds with those sharp puppy chompers! No such luck!! Barney continues to his next Tripawd family!

KillBarney traveling Tripawds Barney tour takes Barney north to Fairbanks Alaska for a visit with glaucomys sabrinus and opie.
Wow. We had to adjust the KillBarney Tour Map preview for this one. Our little purple friend has made it even further north! This just in from our three legged friend, Opie in Fairbanks, Alaska …
Barney came to visit me in Fairbanks, Alaska! You know, I couldn’t wait to get my jowls on Barney, but when he arrived and mom let me take him out of the box, I couldn’t bring myself to tear him apart like I planned. He stunk sooooo good.
Through Barney, I got to meet Caira Sue, Queen Nova, Gerry, Maggie the tri-pug (as well as her sisters), and Maggie the cow dog (although I have a sneaky suspicion that Maggie is really Ursus the Karilean Bear Dog, who had to be relocated by the witness protection program, because her cover was blown by a savvy Kodiak Brown bear.) Oops. I hope I didn’t out her.
Barney got to have a few adventures while he was here. He went to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. He accompanied me to the office with Mom. He went to work with us Saturday, too. This day of work was outside. Yay! Mom and I like the outside work. At Chena Lake, Barney learned how to recognize animal signs (I was wishing for an owl to come swooping down and get him, but no luck there…stupid nocturnal birds.)
He acquired a few tricks on how to stay alive if he ever found himself in a winter survival situation. (Which he did, because last night I forgot him in a snowbank in the yard, and he was still intact this morning, so… yeah.) He also learned how to fish through the ice (When Mom wasn’t looking, I tried to drown him in one of the ice holes.) My mom said having Barney visit was almost the same as having a real person visit because she had to think up interesting things to do and see.
I have to apologize, to all the other tripawds, because I pretty much soft-mouthed Barney. I didn’t break skin… I gave him a good shaking every now and then, but didn’t do any damage. Yeah, yeah, I know. I barked the bark, but didn’t hop the hop. I’m afraid somebody else is going to have to kill Barney.
More about Barney’s visit on my blog soon!
Another Barney blast from Jerry’s past while we wait for word of Barney’s arrival at his next destination on the KillBarney Tour.
Barney is apparently missing in action once again, or at least in transit we hope. Where will he pop up next? Nobody knows … except maybe Maggie. Hopefully his next host will follow the KillBarney Tour rules and let us know when he arrives before spilling the beans. 😉

Maggie takes Barney for a walk in the Snow in Lake Portage, Maine and KillBarney reviews the rules of engagement for the KillBarney Tour.
Well, this isn’t exactly how it’s supposed to work, but Barney had such a pawsome visit with Maggie in Maine that we’ll let it slide.
You can see Maggie’s latest blog post to read all about the fun time they had at the Can Am 250 Mile Sled Dog Race, and see a video of Barney riding Maggie in the snow.
You can also find out where Barney got his new winter coat, and what the Maggies have in common!
With that said, lets recap some rules of engagement here:
*Once a few trinkets are in the box, we could treat this like a geo cache with each new host keeping an item and replacing it with something of their own. We don’t want that box getting too heavy!
