It’s Barney’s 3rd Birthday today!
Barney on holiday!
After a busy term, Barney is now having a lovely holiday at the seaside. He loves running on the beach and surfing the waves.
Barney is recovering from his operation
Barney had a small operation yesterday to remove a lump from his back leg. He’s not a happy chappy as he needs to wear the plastic cone for the next two weeks as his wound heals.
Getting used to school …
I know how the children felt on Monday; I was a little scared today, on my first day at school with all those people! There were so many parents and children to see for the first time, but Mrs Milligan said I was a very good boy. I felt happier because I looked at parents and children from a distance, so they weren’t too scary!! I just need some time to get familiar with the sights and sounds of school life - it can get a little busy and noisy. After my day, I was so tired I fell asleep at 7pm! Looking forward to my next visit. Barney 🐶
Ready for bed …
I am about to go to bed, because I have to see lots of boys and girls tomorrow. I can’t go near you all just yet, but I am looking forward to seeing you from your classroom door. Mrs Milligan is going to hold me so I don’t get too scared. See you tomorrow. 🐶
First day back at school
Mrs Milligan was very pleased to see me today after school. She said the children were lovely, and I behaved very well today for my sister and brother-in-law who were looking after me. Can’t wait to see you all! 🐶
All calm, for now…
I look angelic but I love tiring Mrs Milligan out! I enjoy eating, chewing lots of things and I love playing. I cannot go for a walk yet until I have visited the vet for my second vaccination, so I’m a little bored that’s why I keep chewing! Mrs M has bought me lots of chewy things so I stop chewing her furniture!
All chilled out …
I’m being a very good boy during my first car journey.
Welcome!
Hello everyone, I’m on my way home from Middlesbrough now! My breeder was a little sad, but is very excited that I am going to be helping boys and girls in school.
All prepared!
We are ready for our new addition! One more sleep and Barney will be home!
