Barkley Bastian

Our dog, Barkley, was doing well adjusting to his new lifestyle as an indoor dog. He hadn't had any accidents until yesterday when his "Birth" family came to visit. Lynn and her crew came to see our doggy oh yeah and us for the day. They also brought along their little terror of a pup named Buddy. He's blind, but he doesn't let that stop him. I think he thinks he's a Great Dane. He started fighting and biting Barkley and he scared the pee out of him...literally.

We really enjoyed their visit, but I think Barkley was more than happy to get some rest after they left. He likes being top dog now and takes any chance he can to get love and affection. He loves the one on one time he gets now. Our furry "baby" is very spoiled.

Tonight we went to Battle Creek, MI to see our friends Julia and Chad (Jordan's best man). We met them at Chili's for dinner and then went to the movies to see Flightplan. The dinner started off bad b/c the waiter had two huge parties besides us and forgot about us. Julia's dinner was burned and mine was slightly undercooked. Later, about a 1/2 hour into the movie it looked like the film melted in the projector and it took them about 10 minutes to get the film back up and running. It was pretty funny actually.

It was great to see our friends and have a night out. Poor Barkley though he was alone for the longest he has been since we moved up here. We found an excited pup at our door, a stain, and our salt and pepper shakers knocked over. Looks like he had a bad night. Hopefully he'll get a little better as time goes by. All in all I am impressed at how he has done so far.

I'm searching for a job. Hopefully tomorrow will be more successful. Jordan doesn't work until tomorrow night so I'll be watching the series here at home w/ my pupster. Jordan had his first article published with the new paper. It is about why cubs fans should root for the sox. Well, that's it for now. Catch ya later...
