It is a good thing I hadn’t planned to bring Barney today. Seems Mr. B. is going to be one to set his own work schedule. Again this morning he was nowhere to be found, choosing to rest, no doubt, after his busy day at work yesterday.

Barney excited everyone by eating treats out of Brianna’s hand.  (more…)
