Adventures of Barkley the Sheltie

Adventures of Barkley the Sheltie Barkley the amazing Sheltie mix! Adopted from Dogtired Ranch in Mena, AR. Documenting the travels around the world as a military family and their fur baby!

When we lost our last of three Shelties in May 2015, we had the hardest time finding a rescue organization who would adopt to us because we are military and subject to moving. Our last three Shelties, Scarlet, Chappy and Lucy all made trips to Germany and all 3 traveled all over Europe. Scarlet made 2 trips across the pond and back and lived until age 17 1/2 yrs old. She was adopted by my husband

at 1 yr old and was his sidekick! We adopted Lucy and Chappy after being married for about 4 yrs from LowCountry Animal rescue in Summerville, SC as a bonded pair. They turned out to be the best ever dogs and took care of Scarlet until her last day. Lucy and Chappy followed us to Germany in 2012 and we lost Lucy while in Germany due to complications from her enlarged heart and contracting giardia, Lucy was 13 yrs old. Chappy stepped up to be the only dog in the house and turned out to be quite the little man around the house. He loved playing tag while on walks along the Mosel river. We returned to the US in Feb 2015, and Chappy was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 15. It progressed rapidly and we lost him in May 2015. Since then we searched...high and low for a Sheltie. I stumbled upon Brakley (fka: Hayden Barkley III) and immediately contacted Janet Dodson and submitted our application. We are a traveling family and I want to show the world that traveling with a dog can be done, safely and with great care!!!

Mom asked ChatGPT to creat some images of me on Disney rides (it’s a small world and pirates of the Caribbean) and then had it make me the dog with the keys like in the movie! No clue where the people came from walking in the background cause that certainly wasn’t in the movie! Too cute!!

My first trip to Key West! I’ve been to Islamorada, but today the awesome people decided to take me to Key West!!! I started at the Key West Botanical Garden and then headed to the Papa's Pilar Rum Distillery where I actually got to take the rum tour and (maybe tasted) a little rum! Thank you to “Indiana, Mark, and the whole Pilar Distillery crew for welcoming me!!!
