A Legendary Sunday with Barney
On Sunday, Kelly and I took Barney for a walk. She’s trying to cross off as many items on her 30-before-30 list and walking a dog was one of them. She’s always had cats, so she never had a chance to walk a dog. Plus, I think she might be scared of bigger dogs (as am I — only when I’m running or when they run up to me out of nowhere — hey, I’m tiny).
So, we went to Wal-Mart and got Barn a sweater (not as fancy as the coat I want to get him from Noodle and Friends). Then came home and suited him up.
And we’re off. Well. Kind of. Somebody had to sniff everything and pee first.
This photo caught me pulling my shirt down and caught Barney at the beginning of a shake. He likes to shake off. A LOT. He stopped several times during our short walk to shake. Propeller ears!
Yay! Kelly walks a dog for the first time ever! 
Proof that Kelly likes dogs. Well, at least this one.
We took Barney over to the Drake Stadium and had him meet up with the giant bronze bulldog statue. He was pretty scared at first (that’s a HUGE bulldog!), but I got him to stand on top of the bulldog for a few pictures.
I’m not so sure about this, mom …
All in all, it was a pretty productive dog-walking Sunday.
