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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

**momtomany** · 11-03-2008, 04:01 PM

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

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!

He's already melted all of ours.

I have been following this thread closely. You and your friends are going right to the top of the list for saving this little guy.

My suggestion is that you might want to consider a heating pad rather than a heater. My thoughts, however lame, are based on dry air creating sinus problems vs. warmth for tired bones. I think a heating pad would cost less to run and could be put on a timer.......tucked under his covers..... Just a suggestion.....You know best, I am sure.

When is his ear surgery going to take place? Are you going to wait until he gets buff? Poor little guy. My heart just breaks when I see the posts and videos/pictures.

You and your hubby are truly saints.

P. S. Hi Barney boy!

Lara,

As I Pmailed you, I'm sorry it took me so long to catch up with this thread. You are truly an angel and God Bless you for all you do for SO MANY animals! I called the Animal Hospital and made a donation for Barney's care.
