Barney (My Pooch)

 At his cutest (baby stages)

My poochy turned 2 on Thursday and I just thought I would talk about him because he is just adorable. He is a cross between a Cavalier King Charles and a Bichon Frieze which means he is all fluffy like a marshmallow!! We have had 2 dogs in the past, Herbie sadly passed away 7 years ago and Snowy we had to put to sleep just over a year ago. I will do a blog post on those two soon. Me and my sisters have always bugged our parents about getting a dog and after about 4 yearsish of asking, they finally gave in! Yay! We found him on gumtree and I believe he had 3 sisters and 3 brothers and for me it wasn't that hard to choose, out of them, which one I wanted. He is mainly white, but he has brown patches on his back and has brown ears. To be honest he acts like a cat/lion and he is just overall a very stupid, but adorable dog!
When we got him I was on year 11 study leave and he was such a pain! He ripped the curtains to shreds, weed and pooped on the floor, so me being the lucky one had to clean that all up. It literally took us ages to toilet train him, but thankfully he is all good now. He still steals shoes and nicks things from peoples bags, the other day he stole a fiver from Zoe's handbag ... cheeky puppy! If you drop anything, it automatically becomes his. Me and Natalie once chased him around the garden for ages because he stole some tin foil and it was the funniest thing to witness!

His worst habit is barking for absolutely no reason at all. I can be sat there minding my own business and he will start barking and you'll play with him and nothing is ever good enough. I think he just likes the attention. He has a weird phobia of kids, bikes, buses, tractors, men, the outside world, pretty much everything, so don't take it personally if he hides from you or pees on your foot. He has done that a lot to me before and I don't really know why, but oh well, we can get past that.
He is such a baby and he doesn't care if you pick him up and cuddle him, he will happily trample all over you and use you as a window ledge to see what is happening outside and bark some more! As we speak he is just growling at me, but he is not a scary dog, he is just a pathetic whimp who is scared of everything!
He has got so many toys, which he has pretty much torn to pieces. He loves his blankets and his two beds. He has one in the kitchen and one at the top of the stairs, which is more like a house and I just had to buy it. We do have a gate at the top of the stairs so he isn't allowed in our rooms, but if someone (Natalie) leaves it open, he will sometimes waddle through the gate to see us.

He does this weird waddling thing with his butt when he gets all nervous and shy and he like tucks his tail under his butt and it wags and he will like waddle over to you and surrender. I personally think he is very protective of all of us, but maybe too over protective!
He has a weird addiction to tea, cheese, bananas and alcohol (we don't let him drink it of course, but he knows when you have it in your hand).
He has been know to take a few selfies in the past.

 

 

Barney was named after the dinosaur and he is just the cutest and most pathetic dog ever and I love him to pieces.

Hope you enjoyed this post about my puppy, he is the most harmless dog ever and even if he has run away before (to the end of the close I live in) he is just the best! BEST DOG EVER! :) xx
