The Home Meadow

Barley, a dog, sails upon an ocean of carpet.

While an adaptable pup who makes do with what she can, Barley still maintains clear preferences for certain surfaces. The softer, in general, the better. Grass is particularly favored, especially if it’s green and well-watered. On this basis, the dividing line between carpet that makes the grade and carpet that’s just concrete in disguise couldn’t be more clear. Happily, the wall-to-wall apartment carpeting in her home base passes muster, giving her free rein to plop down with a toy anywhere she likes.
