Self-indulgence time. Michael said that I could post one picture of my dog, Barley (’cause he drove me to drink) on this site. B Dawg is mostly black lab and about a year old. I rescued him in April from Miami-Dade Animal Services, as featured on Animal Police Miami on Animal Planet. I haven’t exactly mastered my little Nikon Coolpix, which I purchased just to take pictures of Barley, so the picture ain’t great, but it shows Barley’s personality.

The photo kind of makes him look like he was sculpted out of brass.
Crap, can you delete the double comment before Froomkin gets back? :>)
Professor Bartow: I actually managed to figure out how to delete one of your 2 identical posts. All that Fortran programming in the 1960s finally came in handy, giving me the confidence needed to figure out movabletype!
Oh, sheesh, I wish Barley was sculpted out of brass, my arms wouldn’t hurt so much from playing with him. I fear you are picking up that he needed a bath when I took the pic — and that Barley Wan Kenobi is such a master of the force that he can get me to walk him so much that he hasn’t plumped out like some labs do — yet?
Awww…great *puppie bloggin* !! We just love Friday Cat and Pup Bloggin…plus we’ve done some Cat-Food Bloggin too! (Fishes)
Kinda breaks up the week with some nice shots of our FAV family members…The Fur-Kids!
😀
Karen: Thanks! I love my little (70 pounds and growing) guy. And your comment means that Michael certainly will be OK with my posting a dog pic.
And Barley is as sweet as he is cute!
