Beautiful Journey

Journey When I saw this picture of Journey it melted my heart. OMG isn’t she so beautiful? Doesn’t she look like the perfect dog? Calm, poised, wise, all-knowing. Sometimes appearances are deceiving as I discovered going through the BarkingProse archives…

Nobody Loves A Dirty Dog

I was killing time on a poetry website yesterday – anything to put off working on my next Bark – when I got lucky and found this strange little poem by a guy named Billy Collins. “Nobody here likes a…

Here We Go Again

It’s been a while to say the least. A hiatus as one might say, or just a heck of a long time since any of us at Asherpark felt much like posting a bark. Journey really doesn’t want anything to…

Can BarkingProse Rise Again?

Lately I’ve been thinking about inertia. It makes sense that if you’re in motion it’s easy to stay in motion, but once you’ve stopped it’s hard to restart. After our dad died me and Journey argued over who was gonna…

Almost A Year

We’re still here. We didn’t go anywhere. We just quit posting barks on BarkingProse for a while. It’s because our Dad died and we really didn’t have words for what we were feeling. Dad died almost a year ago. Cancer…
