What’s In A Name?

Journey, it’s such a lyrical and unusual name. People ask us all the time how Journey got her name. If Mom thinks the question is sincere, she will explain why she chose the name Journey. Otherwise she just laughs and…

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…

Yes, the alpacas are back. Turns out they weren’t very good guests at the nearby farm where they spent the summer. Since Ash died the alpacas lost all respect for us dogs. Ash used to bite them on their butts…

It’s Been A While

You can probably tell from the leaves that it’s autumn at Asherpark. That means I haven’t posted a bark since last winter. That’s just not right but I gotta tell you I’ve been busy – real busy. Here at Asherpark…
