Barley at 5 Months Barley Breed: Golden Retriever Gender: Male Favorite Activities: He is my constant companion. He's happy running here in the country, but prefers our almost daily walks in a nearby village where everyone stops to pet him. He loves New York City where he is welcome in most of the shops. Several times a week, his best friend, "Otis," a Chocolate Lab, comes over to play. They are perfectly matched; they look like dark and white chocolate puppies! This photo was his first Christmas at 5 months. Big problem: How do I top this one for this year's card? Lots of friends (including his wonderful vet,"Dr. Cindy") still have this card on display 12 months later! For Christmas, Barley is getting his own treadmill for when the weather is too bad to be out long. Thanks, Dog Whisperer, for the idea!
