Mr. Barkey Van Schauzer

I am a slacker… I once again am pulling the TOO BUSY card when it comes to bogging. Once again my apologies to those of you who check daily or even periodically and never see anything new. I am writing to you live from one of my favorite places in the world. I have a pretty decent view of my favorite lake and a hot cup of coffee and a good quilt. Life is good. Today there was a change in my Monday night plans. Instead of the usual selections from “Orbiting the Giant Hairball” (a must read), and driving around Paris via XBox I went for a run/walk/pull with my 90lb four legged friend. It was quite incredible. We make a pretty amazing duo. That was pretty much obvious from the start but tonight the deal was sealed. As I ran with the Frisbee in my mouth and he ran with not even his tongue in his we shared something. Something special. I have decided that I need someone like him in my life everyday to keep me going when I want to be slow and lazy and I think he would agree that he needs someone like me to….(still exploring my purpose in his life)(don’t read too much into that either). ANYWAY…. I have come to the conclusion that my attachment to this dog (and if you know me this is very rare) is yet another reason why leaving Duluth will be a challenge. I think when its time for me to leave I might just fall to the ground in his yard not willing to move for anything but food like he did tonight after our activities. I think the guy has it made!!!
