Barklee's Blog

So, I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I don't really bark. My owners think I can't bark... i have only made a sound that sounded like a bark... after they accidentally (or so they say) stepped on my foot as I was shadowing them.

But yesterday during my walk... i just couldn't take it anymore. Those big dogs behind big fences think they're SOOOO big and bad... and they bark and snarl and rub their snouts under the fences. Who do THEY think they are? So that was the last straw... I started barking (granted it sounded more like "yap yap yap")back and lunging towards the big fence to show the big dog I was not afraid. It sort of made the big dog even more mad, but I didn't care... I was ready to take it on.
Anyway... I think i shocked my owners...
Oh, I forgot to show you one of the new friends i met last weekend... His name is Ken. He's definitely making me look short in this picture...

Niki also visited me after her trip to Africa... There's now a little carved turtle living in our house now that came from her trip. I'm thinking it might be a tasty chew! :)

Last but not least, my scratching has subsided! My vet said that it's only because i haven't gotten my new flea treatment... and that southern california is a big fleafest for dogs... So every month i need new flea treatment... and so far it's working! No new itchy spots and my old itchy spots are almost totally healed.

Thanks Doc!
