Over the last year and a half Oliver and Barley have bonded. There is not a day that goes by where Oliver isn't hugging, petting, trying to pull out wiskers, or using Barley as a foot stool to get onto the couch. Oliver LOVES his dog. One of the first things he does in the morning is sign and say dog while looking out his bedroom door in search for Barley. Whenever we go "ba-bye" in the car, Oliver is sure to give a wave and say "bye" to Barley.
Barley is now 5 years old (which is about 35 in dog years). He still act like a puppy and is always excited to have friends come visit. And even though our poor dog has to stay home when we go out, and doesn't get to go on as many walks, and doesn't get all the attention and treats that he use to (pre-baby), he is still the best dog in the world and is Oliver's bestest friend.
We love you Barley.
If anyone that has kids, or is planning on having kids is wondering...should I get a dog?...the answer is YES, as long as it is a dog like Barley.

Cute pictures!!! Barley is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever known. One of my cats was freaking out at the baby sounds on the video...hehe.
Oh my word! Those are so sweet of Oliver hugging and playing with Barley! He definitely is one of the sweetest dogs! It even convinced Grant that he would want to get a dog someday, if he was like Barley! Oliver is so adorable too! We need to find another weekend where maybe we can get together!
P.S. Sorry I cut you off yesterday, I guess I should have explained that sometimes I don't know whether or not Will is sleeping so if I come in talking on the phone, which is right by his bedroom, it wakes him up and I needed to go to the bathroom so I couldn't hang out outside to talk to you more! We need to chat more often! I definitely need to be better about calling you more often, because I miss hearing from you!
