Why Stinky?

Some of my furiends have asked me why I keep calling my dear brother Stinky Barley. Well here's why:

• He was stinky, dirty and smelt like a sewer when mum rescued and brought him home. Yucks.
• He eats and drinks sloppily, making a mess everywhere. Yucks.
• He drools ALOT. Yucks.
  

That's not all. In fact I am often a 'victim' of his drool. See for yourself:

Actually he isn't stinky these days but somehow I just got very used to calling him stinky Barley since day one. You know first impression always counts right? It's the same as saying smart Cocoa, cutie Cocoa or handsome Cocoa etc, get it?

Mum: OH GIMME A BREAK!!

Okayyyy.. mum's watching. I'll write something nice. Oh yeah, Barley is indeed a good brother because he comes to my 'rescue' whenever some other dogs we meet in the park tries to hump/bully me. He comes running over and places his big stinky paw on the other dog's back telling him to back off. Cool eh?

(But what he didn't know is that I don't really mind other dogs humping me because I would be too busy sniffing another dog's butt or the grass, or I just simply wouldn't care anyway.)

So as the famous song goes "He ain't heavy, he's my brother", my version would either be:

"He ain't stinky, he's my brother" or
"He IS heavy, he's my brother. But it's OK."

Now how does that sound?? *Sincere grin*

Boring Nights

Very often, mum works on her computer late into the night. During these times, I can't blog, and I can't visit my furiends' blogs. So what do I do? I laze on mum's bed and waste myself away doing nothing.

Sometimes I can't help notice the way stinky Barley sleeps.

Tsk tsk tsk..... I would never be caught sleeping in such an unglam way. Sometimes his face even twitches!

We've got another award this time from Cody, Lady and Zena! It says "I AM AN AWESOME BLOGGER FRIEND". Thanks guys!

We'll like to forward this award to some of our cool blogger furiends: Bee Bee, Happy, Boo Boo and Kess! Yay!

An Ambush and another Award!

I can never chew my toy in peace. This time, someone is waiting for me to walk out and then pounce on me to get my toy! But one thing for sure, he isn't very bright. He had left his paws visible in my sight.

~~~~~~~

It's award time again! Chubs (Mango's brother) gave us this cool award! Thanks Chubs and Mango!

To translate from Portuguese to English, it means "This blog invests and believes, the proximity" (meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy).”

Now how meaningful is that!

It seems that many dloggers are flooded with awards this season. So, for now we are just going to forward this award specially to Booker, and his H-Mom who is back from a difficult trip recently. We hope this award would cheer his H-Mom up a litte :)

Someone cheated!

I can't see!!!! Hellooooooooooo....?????

To the Dog Park!

Mum says I need to blog more, so here's Barley posting again! We went to the dog park on last evening and met up with lots of our fellow doggies.

Sniff sniff sniff sniff...



Butt sniff butt sniff....

And we met three beautiful corgis!


A brown-white-orangy corgi.

A tri-colour corgi.

Isn't he cute?

Meet our friend, Cogie the corgie! Cogie is a handsome 15 months old male corgie.

Happy Cogie look for his owner.

A fluffy bichon frise!

A friendly pug.

A goldie puppy! Doesn't he look sweet?

A playful husky.

Mum says this handsome boy has got eyes that could melt everyone's heart :)

Me got very thirsty. Slurp slurp slurp!!

!!! Care bear stare??! No, it's a chow chow!

With a very cool butt too! Hehehe!!


So what was Cocoa doing all these while? Well, as usual he was either busy sniffing around...

What's so nice to sniff huh??

... or peeing around. It seemed like he's trying to mark the whole dog park!

And came end of the day...

A very happy and satisfied Cocoa.

A very happy me!

Lesson Learnt and another Award!

We happened to find some old pictures of our 'parties' and decided to share with you guys hehe. Mum learnt her lesson to never leave any destructable things within our reach when she goes to work. Why do I say that? Look what she found one day when she came back from work! *Proud*

You see, the hoomans really have to understand that they CAN'T blame us for chewing up things when they themselves left those things out there for us. Makes sense? It's the same as leaving a roast chicken on the floor and expecting us not even to go lick it. That is just IMPOSSIBLE! Simple logic right? What took the hoomans several times to learn their lesson??

The following picture that you are going to see is one of the best 'party' we had.

Hold ya breath.

Coming up!

Items we had for our 'party': newpapers, plastic bags, socks from the laundry basket (as seen in Barley's mouth).

So mum learnt her lesson finally.. and we never get the chance to have a 'big-scale' party again... SHUCKS! :(

Bullied!

Just because stinky Barley is bigger and stronger than me, I get bullied by him! He takes MY toy and refused to return it to me :(

See that?? :( Mum says I have to give in to Barley because he is my younger brother. Riiiight!! I then changed my mind and decided to go for my chew bone instead. Who needs a rubbery toy anyway?

Sore loser NOT! Just a change of mind!

Manicure, Anyone??

We get to cut our nails every week and mum will always file my nails into round shape after that. She said that I like to cuddle up with her and my nails will hurt her if she donch file them smooth. So I end up with round nails. And yes, my paw pads are pink, not black. Funny eh?

Here's stinky Barley's nails. Mum need not file them smooth because he doesn't come cuddling with humans. He prefers to sleep on the cold hard floor anytime.

An Attack and An Award

Donch be fooled by stinky Barley's cutie innocent face. You see, he pretends to hug me...

And before you know it, he tries to eat my head!



Donch worry, I am still alive by the way. Only thing was that my head was full of his drool after that. Yucks!
