So very happy that Barney is enjoying his stay with Rosie, Paul and the furry kids. Keep them on their toes Barney! X

Great update on Barney, love the bit about the bowl, very funny bless him xxxx

Barney’s character is really coming out. He makes me laugh every day, usually when he picks his bowl out of its stand and carefully carries it through to the lounge and leaves it on the floor there. Tonight he had a change and lay down next to it and licked it thoroughly. Not that there was a scrap left after his tea!
He’s a cheeky boy in the kitchen and has to be told regularly to get his front paws off the work surface, although this is improving. He sniffs out any sort of food - as evidenced by him stealing the pilchard cake out of Kate’s bag yesterday!!
He’s slowly getting better when he meets dogs on his walks. Much better if they stand and look at him, and he and a German Shepherd sniffed each other yesterday without Barney getting jumpy. But today there was a spaniel puppy who jumped around in front of him which makes him lunge and bark although not as much barking as 2 weeks ago.
He stays much better when told and often “leaves” but all needs more work to improve. He is a clever boy and does learn and will be a good boy once he’s learnt it all. He is adorable xx

So lovely to see the very handsome Barney at the kennels today. He is such a gorgeous patient boy who has greatly benefited from his foster family's care. We shared a banana today. Massive cuddles for him tonight xx

Great to hear how Barney is doing! Hope Paul manages to hold onto his toast tomorrow! :))) Xxx

Barney had lots of sausages for his birthday, although he had to share them with Hope, Snip and Rigsby, which he found hard to do - he kept trying to take theirs out of their mouths! Always just too late as they love sausages too :))
He’s doing really well being fostered - he’s a real character, very funny and really starting to play now. He’s getting better at “leave” and “stay” although needs a careful eye watching him if you turn your back and leave food on the work surface in the kitchen - Paul lost his toast this morning but Barney enjoyed it very much thank you! He’s improving each day when seeing or meeting dogs in the park but will still pull and get quite excited, but with firm handling and encouragement, he’s gradually getting there. He’s a lovely boy and we’d keep him if we could but having 3 of our own already, having a 4th would mean we couldn’t then do any more fostering which we like to do when we can. I highly recommend this lovely boy xx

Happy Birthday to Barney! Xxx

Happy birthday barney! Hope you've had a lovely day xxx

Happy Birthday lovely boy - great to see you today. Enjoy your special birthday dinner tonight. xx

Have a lovely birthday Barney. Xxx

Happy birthday Barney, I hope you have a super day xxxxxc

Ah, bad luck matey - but it's got to be right for everybody. On the plus side though, at least you've been out in a foster home and started to learn the ways of the world. Let's hope it wont be too long before we see another red sign for you.x

Very sadly Barney is no longer reserved. He has been out on foster for the last few days so he could be assessed to see if he would be suitable for the lady who had reserved him. He has been great in his foster home but can be very strong on the lead when he meets other dogs and we feel he isn't the right lad for her. Xxx :((

Will be keeping everything crossed that things work out for you and you are able to go off to your new home. Xx

Everything crossed for a happy outcome Barney. Xx

Yay, fingers crossed for you Barney, be good xxxxxx

Barney has been Reserved but there are a few things to be taken into consideration before he can go home. Please keep your fingers crossed for him. :)) Xxx

Barney breaks my heart. He is not happy in the kennels lovely though they are. He loves attention and was very relaxed on a bed in the outside kennel whilst I stroked him. Had a short walk with him, couldn't go far be cause he is post op., and he is brilliant on the lead. He has got beautiful eyes. Gorgeous boy lots of cuddles xxxxx

Love to Barney after his op, hope he is feeling ok, I'm sure when he is in a loving stable home he won't be so barky, it must be quite stressful being in kennels, they all show their feelings in different ways, I think you are gorgeous anyway Barney, good luck fella xxxxxx

A big cuddle for Barney tonight. He had his neutering operation today. He has been very vocal at the kennels since he arrived and after his operation was very vocal at the vets....so much so they called us and asked us to come and collect him as he was upsetting a Rabbit and a cat who were also at the vets! Thanks so much to James for taking him and collecting him for us today. Poor Barney he needs someone special to take him home. Xxx

Definitely a Honcho face! ????

Oooohhh what a lovely boy I might even consider him if he doesnt go today.

Very scrummy xxxx

What a handsome boy! :)) Xxx

Oh my what a stunner - and definitely leave your suitcase by the gate!! Good luck for tomorrow. x

No surprise! This handsome boy who has arrived this afternoon already has a viewing booked for tomorrow!
