Keep Your Fingers Crossed

My little dog brother Barney is in the hospital.

He has really outdone himself this time: eating a coin.

The old guy has consumed some pretty terrible things in his lifetime: an entire box of Kudos, a few pounds of chocolate candies, an entire bag of Hershey's miniatures.

This time, he might have finally met his match.


He is in the hospital in Athens, right now. Much too old for surgery so the docs are going to try to scope out the coin.

We will know in a few days if he will make it.

Keep your fingers crossed for him, will ya?

We sure do love the old guy.


*Pictures taken last September during the Brimfield Antiques Show. Barney wasn't feeling well that week because he ate an entire freezer bag of homemade chocolate brownie chunk cookies I made for dad. Oh, will he ever learn his lesson.
