Barney is an Angel Now.

[Catty1]

Awwww...he sure knows his name! When you called him, he came up and just kept giving that bed head rubs!

It's so nice to see him moving better - and even giving a classic Big Yawn!

I had to smile when you remarked to Scott about how Barney was looking at him - and he said, "Yeah, he's giving me the sad eyes." LOL...think he's seen a few sad eyes before?

Glad he is settled in and cozy.

Just because I worry too much - don't let the second tarp get near the heater!

Instant LES from even just looking at Barney's photo let alone viewing the video. Your husband does seem to be softening but I understand why you want to limit the number of cats that live w/you. I'm in the same position. Not that you're my age but w/my circumstances, I fear that my younger cats will outlive me, so to take on more would be irresponsible and the financial obligation is great as well. If I had a partner or even a roommate who was understanding and helpful, it would be a different story, so I truly understand your feelings and I hope you don't think that I was pressuring you to take Barney. It's just that I wonder who will take him in his condition, although I'll admit that if I was there to see him and help w/him every day, he'd be mine regardless of my protests. What a special assignment you've been blessed with, Lara, and what an incredible, loving job you're doing. As usual, give Barney some extra lovin' for me.

Lara, you are such a jewel! I'm so glad that you have Barney with you now. It's great that Barney likes Scott. It was so sweet watching your hubby nestling Barney into his blankets and making sure even his little tail was snuggled in too. Keep these wonderful updates and videos coming. I look forward to them!

More prayers for Barney!

"How do I do it??" With lots of love and a very tolerant (though not happy) husband. It is truly a labor of love and my passion.

Oh my gosh, don't worry, I wasn't thinking that! lol I know that you can tell that I would fail at fostering and it's the truth! And I do wonder who will take this guy but my hope is to get him healthier and looking better so he is more appealing. And this morning, he was really full of beans! He was up on the dog bed in the enclosure and meowing at me. I actually got it on film this time! He started pawing at the fencing too! The clavamox that I gave him yesterday morning and last night were his first doses. I had the meds on hand and the pill pockets for a few days but we decided to wait until he was here at my house before beginning the meds because when he was under Angela's care, his meds were a bit sporadic. I'm wondering if these two doses are what is causing him to have more energy already! He has received another this morning.

Good point! I made sure to keep the tarp off the front of the enclosure where the heater is and just have it around the top, sides and back.

He is really good with our animals and they just love him. I can't believe he didn't have animals before we met because he is a natural with them. But I guess he's making up for lost time now. LOL


Here is his video. You can here him meow in the second half of it and he sounds like a little frog:

Oh Barney your so so Sweet Looking.. Please get Better Soon.. This is a very nice loving home.. They will take Great Care of you..

[Medusa]

Oh goodness, he does sound like a little frog! He's the sweetest little boy I've ever seen, Lara. I just LOVE him!

[momtomany]

I think we all love him heart and soul. I wish I could take him.

[Catty1]

I LOVE those little "me-ax" sounds! Little Barney Frog.

It will be interesting to see what the Clavamox does for him.

What a precious boy...I am sure when he is a bit healthier, he will melt someone's heart!
