    Pets Pose for Apple iPhone Screen Saver!
    appleiphone

    An Apple a day may keep the teacher away, but it doesn't keep the trainer away! Recently, Barkley animal trainer, Ashley Santek, trained puppies Nova Burke, Tango Marr, Diesel Gross, and Dash Santek to be in an Apple iPhone screen saver video shoot. The pups were required to run across the set, wag their tails, jump, paw and lick the screen....and even beg! Even though they went through a lot of cheese and "good boy" biscuits, their owners understood it was all in a good day's work!


    Wegman Art Exhibition on Display
    wegman1

    Over the past 35 years, William Wegman has been to the art world what Tiger Woods has been to golf; a superstar! His ongoing artistic collaboration with his Weimaraners have been exhibited extensively in dozens of museums, including the Australian National Gallery, Canberra; The Brooklyn Museum, New York; F.R.A.C. Limousin, Limoges, France; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Kunstaus, Zurich; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. And now, for a limited time, you can see a display of some of his best, exclusively at The Barkley. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday 7 am to 7 pm, Saturday 9 am to 5 pm, and Sunday 11 am to 4 pm. As always, it is free to look, but certain signed prints may set you back up to $10,000 each!

    wendy

    Wendy Diamond, most recently known as a celebrity judge on the CBS show, "Greatest American Dog" provided plenty of extra love and attention to The Barkley's pet guests over the weekend. In fact, Boston Terrier JB ("Jason Bourne") Gallo (pictured) recognized Wendy from TV and just had to get a photo and pawtograph! Wendy is a pet lifestyle expert and author dedicated to fairness to animals and responsible breeding. She is the Founder/Editor-In- Chief of Animal Fair Magazine, the executive producer and host of the television special Paws for Style, and the co- producer and host of Lucky Travels on Animal Planet. When not at The Barkley, she is a frequent contributor to the CBS' THE EARLY SHOW, "The Today Show," "The View," "Fox News," "CNN" and "Good Morning, America."

    The BARK for OBAMA!
    obama

    In an exclusive interview with People magazine, First Lady Michelle Obama reveals, the upcoming arrival of the First Dog to be sometime in April. During the campaign, the Obamas promised their two girls, Malia, 10, and Sasha, 7, a dog, win or lose. The Family has paid serious consideration to rescuing a dog from a shelter. The First Lady said she favors Portuguese Water Dogs. "Temperamentally they're supposed to be pretty good dogs", says Mrs. Obama. "From a size perspective, they're sort of in the middle - not too small, and not huge dogs either. The folks that we know who own them have raved about them. So that's where we're leaning." The first couple and their two daughters have been going back and forth on possible names, with the girls suggesting names like Frank and Moose. Now, that The First Family has decided on the breed, they appear to be in serious negotiations over names. The First Pup's target arrival date is in April, after the family's spring break vacation, March 20-29.
