If you’re not sure why we’re doing this post, or who this adorable pup is, click here to catch up. (Don’t worry, you didn’t miss much!) We’ll be sharing our experiences as new puppy parents soon, but for now, we’ve got pictures. Hence, Barley’s first snow – her first playtime session in the white stuff!
While we may not have gotten the 24-36 inches of snow that was forecast by the weather.com’s of the world, we did end up getting a few inches that Barley LOVED playing in.
As far as we know, this was the first time she saw and experienced snow.
Barley the Lion…
She was a little hesitant to go into the snow at first, lingering on the front stoop…
But eventually she jumped right in.
Which was hilarious, because…
1. She had a habit of sticking her ENTIRE head into the fresh powder.
2. The snow came up to her chest, and she was pretty much bunny hopping to get around.
In the end, it was difficult to get her back in the house.
Can we go back out there pleeeeaaase?
Puppy. Dog. Eyes.
Needless to say, we went back out.
Oh my God, how did I not know about Barley until today! I am relatively new to your blog and was delighted to find this fuzzy pup’s blog. Barley must be around 6 years old now, she shares a birthday with me on July 8. How is she doing?
When my husband and I lived in CT, we volunteered as Guiding Eyes for the Blind parents (but only for a week at a time with two 6-week old siblings) More than that and I wouldn’t have been able to part with them. Anyway, just as we were leaving CT, GEB started breeding Goldendoodles and Glabs for guide dogs. I would have loved playing with two Barleys for a week! Best to you all and Barley!
Hi Mary! Yes, Barley is 6 1/2 years old now—time really flies. She’s doing great, and spends most of her days fetching tennis balls in the backyard, sleeping on her king size dog bed in the TV room, and getting tasty things added to her dinner. :)
Very cute dog, the first time of snow is so novel!
Golden doodle? She looks so cute! And smart too, looking at her pensive eyes. Now I want a puppy!
hahaha thanks C.C.! yep, she’s actually a little too smart for her own good…we forgot how crazy life with a puppy can be. :)
CUTE OVERLOAD!
Puppy days are the best days. Enjoy your little fluffy one. So sweet. :)
Thanks Anj!
What an adorable puppy! Congratulations and have fun!
Thanks so much Deborah!
Barley!! I can’t even tell you how much I’m smiling right now just looking at how much fun she had with snow! My dog loves snow too (I think all dogs do!)
That picture of her sitting next to the lion is just TOO COOL!
