Lincoln has fun with "Big Dog" Barry

Madison Delta Gamma

Hi All,

Barry here...I like being a dog cuz girls luv us!!! My pals and I got to visit Delta Gamma in Madison just a couple days after we visited them in Appleton. And you know what, us pups make instant squeals from everyone who misses their dogs at home.



Scout was pretty popular too, until little Miss Iris came to visit, and lil ole Blondie got all the attention!!!

I just can't believe they went to her after seeing this handsome mug!!!

Woof for now,

Barry

Visit To Appleton

Gordy, Barry, and Promise joined Mark, Barb and Marlette in a trip to Appleton, WI to speak to the Lawrence University Delta Gamma Chapter and some of the Alumni about OccuPaws and how the Delta Gamma Chapter in Madison has been so helpful.

Thank-you for inviting us!!!

Santa!

Hi Everyone,

Yesterday, 12/17/11, Ace & some of his friends went to see Santa at the Dog Face in New Glarus. Ace liked this Santa much better than the Santa he saw at the mall. Maybe because this Santa had treats?

Here they are all relaxing, while other pups get to see Santa. Barron, Ace, Barry & Promise all waiting nicely while we shopped and watched the other puppies.

Here is Ace being a handsome boy. I think he was trying to convince Santa that he was a good boy and wants a really big steak for Christmas and if Santa can't bring a steak, a huge bone would be fine too.

BIG City, BIG Job

On Thursday, I had a BIG day with two very important jobs:

1. Navigate Kelsey through downtown Madison to all of her classes.

2. Show two potential puppy raisers what fun it would be to have a puppy like me in their lives.

'Working' in the library

To accomplish my first task, I had to ride in a city bus for the first time.  For some reason a voice kept talking really loud at me.  I looked really hard to find where the voice was coming from but...no such luck.  I also had to walk really fast on busy streets to get between classes.  I wasn't a big fan of all the horns, sirens and loud engines, so I got lots of treats (Peanut butter & banana YUM!)  for continuing to move forward and walk nicely.  Also, I can't figure out why everyone kept calling me Brewer/Badger's brother: Don't they know I'm "Barry!"

To accomplish my second task, I got to go out to lunch with one of Kelsey's professors.  He and his wife were very nice.  They asked a lot of good questions about being a puppy raiser.  For my part, I worked very hard to look cute and show off what a good boy I am.  They said they were partial to yellow dogs as their last dog was a yellow lab.  Humph...way to mess with a guy's mojo.

All in all, it was a long days' work but judging by the number of hugs, pets and pictures I took today, I would say "Job well done, Barry."

Power of Puppy Persuasion

This afternoon, Barry, Gordy, and I sold Boston Store Coupon booklets at East Towne Mall.  Barry and Gordy donned Batman and Superman costumes in celebration of Halloween.  I thought they looked a little silly and Barry agreed.  He pouted until a nice Delta Gamma girl took pity on him and removed the costume.

Gordy and I adopted a persuasion tactic of nonchalance in order to lure the public in.  Our strategy earned us a lot of belly rubs.  Gordy and I also showed off some of our service skills.  I retrieved my leash and Gordy picked up his Dad's keys; much to the delight of several children.  We also took turns taste-testing the toddlers and babies who visited us.

Exhausted from all of the attention, I took a nap midway through the afternoon.  It was a valiant attempt to lull Kelsey into a false sense of security.  Even though I was 'sleeping,' I still had one eye open and was ready to race through the mall and play at a moments notice... I'm still waiting for that moment.

Overall, our puppy persuasion led to the sale of 40 booklets!  Please stop by and see us this Saturday 10 am-12 pm.  We'll happily sell you a booklet and give you a big puppy kiss.

Waiting for Godot

Hi All!

We were the stars of a recent Cottage Grove Lioness meeting with lots of awwws and petting and such.

We became persona non grata when it was time to eat! :-( We watched while they ate. What a time to be so very very neat - not a crumb!

Even a head tilt got no reward at all.....sigh....
