Dog Washing Party




We have a giant live stuffed animal that lives at our house his name is Barley!  Our kids love him.  He is adored by all small people in our family.  Cooper usually uses him as his personal pillow when watching TV.  He is a dog though and sometimes his stinky body just has to have a bath and the boys take great delight in helping their Dad bathe the beast!  Barley is so patient with his bath he just stands there while he is rinsed and soaped and rinsed again.  I think he just likes the extra petting.  Barley is almost 14yrs old, he was my college graduation present from Tim, and we really can't imagine life without him.  We are trying to prepare ourselves for the fact that he may not be with us forever, I hate this for the kids, he has been such a great dog.  He limps everywhere he goes but he still lights up for a treat and he may not smell as well as he used to but he still manages to find all the tidbits the kids drop on the floor.  We have been blessed to have him as part of our family and we will continue to enjoy him for as long as the Lord allows.

Cade did ask me the other day if we could get a new puppy when Barley goes to Heaven.  Let's pray about that one!  That kid is to smart!

Love,

Shawna
