Oh Lara, what a sweet boy Barney is. His adorable little face just haunts me. And to think that he gained weight to get up to 5 lbs. At her heaviest, Puddy weighed 5 lbs., so I know how tiny that is but Puddy was a tiny cat. Barney has been to hell and back to weigh so little but he's surely in heaven now w/you.

I'm w/everyone else; I prefer to think good thoughts and that he doesn't have lymphoma. We're going to think positive here because this boy doesn't deserve that. However, I know you'll do everything possible for him. I'm not going to wait for my next check to send another donation; I'm going to send one now because you just got another vet bill even though it was at a discount and I'm afraid that w/the holidays here, the mail will be slower than usual and it may take too long for the check to get to Canada.

Barney looks so adorable and pathetic at the same time w/his collar on. I don't know how you keep from sleeping out there w/him. LOL Lara, I'm so proud to know you. Even though we've never met in person, I consider you to be a good friend. You're such a quality person, a gentle spirit, and God has given this assignment to just the right person. How blessed you are and, as a result, Barney is blessed as well and so is everyone on PT who knows you.
