Actually, that's not completely true, he also loves food, and sleeping.
But he does enjoy a good game of tug with his toys, which is also great exercise for me too. My arm muscles get a really good workout when I play tug with Barley, and it's much more fun than going to the gym or doing proper exercise.
Recently Barley has been eyeing-up my teddy bears, yes I am a grown woman who has teddy bears, two teddy bears, but thankfully he hasn't made a grab for them - which would definitely result in him ripping them to pieces - and eating them.
As I rarely leave the house unless I'm going for a walk with Barley and Mr.R, I asked Mr.R to buy Barley a soft toy of his own, the next time he went out shopping.
A recent grocery shopping trip had Mr.R returning with a rogz soft toy, the Retro Rex Clone, which is a dog on a skateboard.
Retro Rex before Barley met him
Here's what the company says about Retro Rex -
Retro Rex
Man's best friend's best friend
Retro Rex is a sportanimal - a self confessed adrenaline junkie and pioneer of K9 extreme sport.
He is a true Alpha Dog who lives by the motto: ''Unless you're the leader of the pack, the view never changes.''
This sportanimal clone was produced with Instaclone Technology (ICT) and one of Retro Rex's hairs was used to ensure it contains his original mojo.
So give your best friend an opportunity of a lifetime to take his (or her) superhero home.

Neither of us expected Rex to last more than a few minutes, as Barley is pretty rough with his toys, which is why we've made sure to only buy extra hard-wearing toys, until now.
Barley isn't just rough with his chew toys, he also likes to eat them. And I don't mean chew them up, I mean eat and fully digest them. Not good.
The only thing we've bought Barley that has survived fully in tact is a Kong, which he really loves - because he loves food. Hehe!
Anyway, Mr.R bought Barley the rogz Retro Rex Clone, a skateboarding dog, and Barley loves it.
When we first gave it to him we told him to be gentle, and surprisingly he was and is quite gentle with it.
He does bring it to us to play tug, but we don't because Barley would rip poor Rex in half in seconds. Instead we throw it and Barley fetches it.
Rex can fly pretty high and really far, which is impressive for a skateboarding dog.
Retro Rex after meeting Barley; double ear amputation
We are really impressed with the quality of the rogz soft toy for dogs.
It's well-made, and apart from a small repair job to his back seam, (I had to sew a few centimetres of the seam back together after Barley ripped it, to stop Barley eating the stuffing) and two unfortunate amputations; his ears, Retro Rex is in remarkably good condition even after being thrown all over the living room by me and Mr.R, and nibbled, bitten, chucked in the air, slobbered over, and squeaked squeaked squeaked by Barley.
Mr.R purchased Retro rex from a local shop, he paid £2.49 for the rogz soft toy, we think that's a bit of a bargain.
And best of all the squeaker inside Rex still squeaks perfectly, which Barley thinks is great.
We wouldn't hesitate to purchase rogz dog toys again in the future.
