The love/hate relationship between three-legged dogs and a small purple dinosaur.
Three legged dog Maximutt meets Barney on the dog beach in Newport Beach with fellow Tripawds Blogs community members
Before Barney headed out for his first stop on the Killbarney Tour, he made a stop in Santa Barbara to meet up with a few Tripawds members, including miracle dog Maximutt and his pack.
Caira Sue plays plays with Barney at Sherman Island
The first stop on the Killbarney Tour was a visit to the beach with Caira Sue in California …
Caira Sue received a coffee pot in the mail. It wasn’t really a coffee pot. It was Barney, hiding in a coffee pot box!
Barney came to visit us, so we thought we would take him to one of Caira’s favorite places to go. Sherman Island.
I don’t think he realized Caira Sue was going too. He attempted to hide a few times, but she found him anyway. At one point it looked like Adam and she were going to pull that guy from limb to limb! Another time it appeared that Caira was heading into the water to drown him. Poor Barney. But then something amazing happened – Barney levitated! No really! He did!
Caira finally lost interest in Barney and started playing with her ball…Barney got to sit on the sidelines and watch…I think I heard him sigh with relief.
He may have sighed too soon, however. When we were almost to the car, Caira grabbed Barney from my hands and ran across the street to the rocks! It was like she was saying “This creature isn’t getting back in the car with us!!!” She bounced him all over the rocks, and had Adam and I laughing til tears were coming down our faces. It was the funniest thing, ever!
Adam said that we now understand why the blog is called Killbarney.
Who’s next?
Barney Tour begins with Tripawds members around the world,
Barney has some exciting news about a fun feature coming soon to the Killbarney blog … Barney’s tour is about to begin!
Stay tuned for guest posts featuring one of Jerry’s favorite Barney dolls in photos with Tripawds members around the world. Barney’s first stop was a recent visit with Caira Sue. And we hear those two had some fun on the beach. Stay tuned for details!
Where will Barney end up next? Only Caira Sue knows! But once he gets there, we’ll be sure to let you know here. Here’s how it works… whoever receives Barney must send us a photo of him together with their tripawd. Include a few words about the visit, and we’ll publish a Killbarney post about the adventure. Tripawds Bloggers can then follow up with more photos and details about the visit in their own blog.
They must then forward Barney onto another Tripawds member, in a timely manner. Simply send someone a PM (Private Message) in the forums to see if they’re interested and get their mailing address. Inside the box is a journal for keeping track of where Barney has been.
Over time, we will all get to see Barney with Tripawds members everywhere. And we’ll see how he holds up! If Barney loses a limb – or two– it’s noting a little needle and thread can’t fix before he gets back in the box.
Once we post the photos here in the Killbarney blog, members with their own blogs should post a follow-up with additional details and more photos, linking back to the original Killbarney post. Any questions?
OK. For clarification then, we present…
*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!
YouTube pulled the original soundtrack to this video from Christmas morning on the farm in Florida from 2007. But about half way through, you can almost hear Barney singing from the way Jerry gets so excited opening up his favorite present…
Three years ago today, Jerry’s people were dealing with the shock of his osteosarcoma diagnosis. So here’s a little shout out to Jerry with a photo of him relaxing in the LiveWorkDream rig after getting a checkup – and a clean bill of health – one year after his amputation.
