i was browsing through some old photos this morning when i came across the one above, taken at an event i was working with the dog rescue i volunteer with. the event that day was just a few blocks from where evan works, so i told him that he NEEDED come down on his lunch break and meet this little booger of a dog! at this point we had zero plans of adopting a dog. we were in an apartment with a no pet policy and were already hiding 3 cats inside! a puppy was just not in the cards for us yet. so with the best of intentions i decided to just bring barkley (then named carter) home after the event to foster for the weekend. i would get to snuggle him for a few days and then bring him back to the rescue on monday. welp, as you may have already guessed, barkley never went back to the rescue.
i've taken quite a few pictures of barks since having him in our lives, and while browsing them all this morning i've noticed a reoccurring theme. this dog sleeps A LOT... and apparently i like to photograph it. so without further adieu, i present barkley... sleeping.

life wouldn't be as snuggly without you barks!
