Celebrity Barney arrested for DUI on KillBarney tour stop in Bothell, WA.
As is the case with most celebrities out on tour, Barney’s popularity has apparently gotten to him.
We hadn’t heard from Barney since his visit with Holly an Zuzu. But we were just notified that he was picked up on a DUI and busted somewhere in Washington.
Last we heard he had jumped bail and gone missing again.
Hopefully we’ll get the full story soon in Lincoln’s blog …

The KillBarney Traveling Tripawds Barney Tour stops in Clarendon Hills, IL for a visit with Holly Jolly By Golly and ZuZu.
Attention KillBarney Fans: This just in from Holly Jolly By Golly!
We’ve sure been having fun with Barney here in Clarendon Hills! Let’s see… where did our adventure start?
Well, both Holly and Zuzu were quite excited to help open the box… and Zuzu was the one who pulled Barney out of the package. While on the surface it looks like Zuzu did the most damage – she continued to gnaw on his eye…(which I think Ginger had started) but was unsuccessful in making him a cyclops – in reality I think Holly did such an amazing job at scrambling Barney’s brains that she did more damage overall. Holly did the terrier thing of shaking him to within an inch of his life! So we now think that in addition to his external scars and bruises, Barney has scrambled brains. (check out the dumb smile he still has, though!)
The girls took Barney outside on a nice day, and he ended up climbing into the tomato plants to escape the torture. Unfortunately, Zuzu decided she wanted some of Gayles juju, so she ate one of the socks that Charon made for Barney. At first I thought I could repair it, but now I think I need to knit him another one. I’ll take care of that tonight.
We took Barney to Morton Arboretum, where he got left in a maze and was heard yelling for help for miles around!
We also took him into Chicago, but the pictures from that trip didn’t turn out because it was night and you couldn’t see any of the landmarks in the background. Except when he climbed onto a Chicago Tribune news dispenser. ok – I can’t seem to attach the picture with the tribune thing. 🙁 Maybe my attachments got too fat!
Both girls were incredibly obsessed with Barney’s feet. They kept asking me if his feet smelled like fritos. We’re all wondering if Opie passed that along to him…And there’s a picture of Zuzu and Barney eating orange stuff – the orange stuff is the pupcorn that Ginger sent to Zuzu and Holly!
As you can see, the girls had a great time with the purple beast. But it’s time to pass him along to the next lucky tripawd.
Thanks for all the fun! Stay tuned to Holly’s blog for complete details and more photos from Barney’s visit…

PS: As I was writing this, Barney was sitting on the kitchen table and Zuzu was whimpering for “one last time” with the purple dinosaur! 🙂
Ginger has drawn first fuzz, attempting to blind Barney but only getting as far as one eye.
Let’s hear it for Ginger!
This just in from the KillBarney Tour …
Barney’s visit to Pontiac, IL is almost over. I don’t know if he had a good time or not – but I had a lot of fun torturing him 🙂
We showed him around our town, which as you will see, we are very proud of. He came along to the office to help Daddy work on Saturday morning. He was even here to go to the dog pawty at my cancer hospital.
I know Comet will be proud – I was chewing on his head when all of a sudden, white stuffing started coming out of his eye. Oops! My pawrents got him an eye patch so he could say he was just getting a jump on his Halloween costume – but I know the truth. Mommy is going to try to sew him up for the next tripawd.
Be sure to check Ginger’s blog soon for all the gory details! As the KillBarney Tour rules dictate, Barney will get stitched up before heading on his way with needle and thread in the box. (Some good member may wish to remove Barney’s remaining eye for safety’s sake. We all know what can happen once the fuzz starts to fly, and Tripawds is not responsible for any unattended choking hazards)
Barney visits East Tennessee Gayle and earns his keep.
Big news about Barney! This just in from etgayle …
Barney came to visit us in East Tennessee, after a wonderful spa vacation with Fortis.
From the first, he said he wanted to ‘earn his keep’, so we put him to work. He helped make dinner for the girls, even learned to knit ‘gayle juju’ socks. Once he had them made, he refused to take them off (those piggies are starting to stink…)
He also helped outside doing yard work where he could, but there were a few challenges.
Mostly gayle watched him work, showing her true supervisory skills. She tried to educate the little purple dude on the fine art of ‘the nap’. But it took a little bit for him to figure out how to really master it…
We’ve got a bunch of pictures we’ll put in our next blog post … some are not pretty. Barney is scheduled to head out for his next engagement on the KillBarney Tour later this week – another Tripawds member is anxious for a visit!!! Bon voyage little workman!!!
Three legged Cane Corso Fortis treats Barney to a spa day and much more during Texas Hill Country stop on the KillBarney traveling Tripawds Barney doll tour.
We’re hoppy to hear Barney got to spend some quality time with our favorite three legged Cane Corso…
The Hessenius’ had some good old southern hospitality planned for Barney but Fortis didn’t cooperate! He loved Barney from the time he ripped open the FedEx box. Within the box, Barney waited patiently with a gift from Kobe and Mackenzie of Malibu. It was Fortis’ favorite treat, a NB turkey roll. The bond was sealed and Fortis was in love.
Fortis gave Barney a Texas Longhorn mini Tee as a welcoming gift. They ate together, slept together, and often just gazed out the window dreaming of finer things. They roasted marshmallows over an open fire, went swimming at “Fortis Beach”, and even chewed on Fortis’ “favorite sticks together. Fortis doesn’t share those sticks with just anybody mind you.
Barney and Fortis also got treated to a day at the spa where they both received a chiropractor and acupuncture treatment as well as lots of special pampering. Oh, I almost forgot, Fortis saved his little purple buddy from a deadly Texas coral snake. FYI, Fortis’ song for Barney was “Dragonfly” by Fernando Ortega. Your guess to why is as good as mine. Well there you have it. Fortis and Barney’s time together.
Hopefully we’ll more about Barney’s visit to the Texas Hill Country in Fortis’ blog soon. Go Longhorns!
