How About That.

Barry had been wondering when Carly was going to break down and get herself a new dog. Back in January of last year her dog Charlie a beagle passed away. Carly had told Barry that she was going to get herself another dog when she had the time to look. Finally Carly decided to make the time to look for a new dog. Carly knew she want to rescue a shelter dog. So finally she decided it was time to get herself another dog. Back in December a female Pit Bull was brought into Brooklyn Pet Care by one of the people at Brooklyn Animal Resource Coalition. The female Pit Bull was pregnant. The person from BARC told dr. Houston that the dog had been found wandering along side 495 the Long Island Freeway. She was picked up by a passing motorist who brought her to their animal shelter. One of  the shelter workers brought her to Brooklyn Pet Care Veterinary Hospital.  So she could be looked at by one of the Vets. Dr. Houston was the veterinarian who checked her out. That's when he discovered that she was pregnant with puppies. Two weeks later the momma dog gave birth to seven healthy Pit Bull puppies. Four girls and three boys. The momma dog and six of her puppies  had been adopted.
So the only one left was the runt of the litter. The puppy was a male. His fur was beige and white and his eyes were blue. Carly immediately fell in love with the little pup. So she brought him home. Barry was making his trek across the country. On Tuesday June Barry was in Camden NJ. After the concert Barry and company were able to come back to New York. At least for two nights Barry could sleep in his own bed. When Barry got home early Wednesday morning  Boomer was at the front door to meet him. Hi there little guy said Barry as he picked him up. What's your name he said. Barry looked at his dog tag and saw his name was Boomer. Well hello Boomer said Barry. Carly heard some noise downstairs so she came to check it out. How did he get down here said Carly. I don't know said Barry but he did. He met me at the front door then he scratched my pant leg wanting me to pick him up. So I did just that to get a better look at this little guy. He sure is a cute dog. Now the name Boomer fits this little guy to a T. I take it Boomer is the newest member of our furry family said Barry. Yes he is said Carly. His mommy was found along the Long Island freeway. A passer by picked her up and dropped her off BARC. BARC brought her to Brooklyn Pet Care for a checkup. When she was ready to deliver her puppies they brought her here. I delivered seven puppies. Four girls and three boys. The mommy and six of her puppies were adopted. However this little guy was left so I decided he needed a good home. I was afraid he might end up in the wrong  hands or home. I'm thinking a home where he would be use for dog fighting. Now I just couldn't let that happen to his little guy. I'm glad you chose to adopt this little boy said Barry. They all went to sleep. On Thursday afternoon Barry and company went by Amtrak to Baltimore MD for their next concert date Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia MA. On Friday morning Carly, Rita, Zoey and three other Barry Buddies were going down to Baltimore for the concert that night. Their next door neighbors Andrew and Becky were going to take care of Maggie, Max and Boomer while Carly was gone. Andrew was a professor at Julliard Music School. Since school had finished for the school year Andrew was off all summer. Becky was a chef/baker. Becky was the owner of Brooklyn Bagel's. A bagel and deli shop. Becky made the best bagels out there. Of course the plain were good. But so were the asiago cheese, cinnamon raisin, garlic tomato and onion flavors. Carly made sure she bought two of each flavor and a small tub of their homemade cream cheese for Barry. She also put some plastic knives in a zippered bag for spreading the cream cheese on. Barry just loved a bagel smeared with cream cheese on it. That was usually his favorite breakfast. Bagel with cream cheese and lox, juice and coffee with a splash of cream. Barry liked Seattle's Best coffee. Starbucks was too strong for his taste. Starbucks was the coffee brand that Brian Murphy liked. Carly and her friends trip to Baltimore was fantastic zero rain and low humidity. Once home she got a phone call from Garry. He wanted to tell Carly the latest news. The latest news was that Brian had inked a deal with the Westgate Hotel and Casino for seven  years. I thought he was through with constantly being on stage said Carly. Now what was that a few shows here and there. Yes I remember him saying that said Garry. Friday Barry's playing Aaron's Amphitheater in Lakewood GA near Atlanta. He's off on his birthday June 17th. Sunday June 18th  Mid Florida Credit Union Amphitheater Tampa FL. Wednesday June 21st. Toyota Amphitheater Scranton PA. Friday June 23rd. First Niagara Amphitheater in Pittsburgh PA. Me and five other Barry Buddies went down to Baltimore MD to see Barry's Merriweather Post Pavilion Friday June 9th. Then me. Rita and Zoey stayed until Sunday afternoon. I treated Barry, Rita and Zoey to brunch on Sunday morning for Barry's birthday. I showed Barry a photo of his major present which is an Amazon Echo Show. The Echo Show has a screen so you can look at all sorts of stuff. The Eco Show come out on June 28th. Prior to Barry leaving for Boston I took him out  for dinner. Then when we got home I gave him his smaller presents. He got some Jo Malone basil, lime and mandarin cologne. two Untuckit's shirts, some gift cards GAP. Brooklyn Bagels and Serendipity. Each gift card was for $50. Also while we were out I took him to Serendipity for an ice cream treat. Now next year Barry will be in Australia in June.  Thursday June 14th thru Sunday June 17th is the BMIFC Australian Convention. Barry's playing Melbourne Saturday June 16th and Sunday June `17th. Before the Sunday night concert I've put together a birthday dinner. I invited some of his dear friends to come down to Melbourne for his birthday.  All the friends I sent invitations said yes they'd be there to help him celebrate his 75th birthday. Your coming , Marc, his songwriting partners, his two high school pals, Melissa Manchester, Kenny G. and Dave Koz. Marc asked me if I was inviting Suzie to the party. I told him that Barry doesn't want to be around her any more. She still believes Barry is gay.  At one time if you remember she thought you and Barry were a couple. Well she finally got it through her head that your married. So now she wants to help Scott Nevins get Barry as his partner. Barry told me he finds Scott Nevins very creepy. Just look what he tried to do right after we got married in 2015. Followed us up to Montreal Canada to try something. We out smarted Scott while we were in Montreal and Quebec Canada. One we got home I had that real bad dream about being put into an insane asylum. After having that bad dream I had my neighbor Kevin McCoy's son Jack who is a district attorney in Manhattan help us put together a restraining order out on Scott Nevins Scott is not allowed within two feet of either Barry or me. He tries to do that he'll go to jail said Carly.
