Barney is an Angel Now.

What a nice update! Barney looked more interested in the camera than in the hot water bottle bear. Maybe he'll get used to that. Does he seem to notice his movies? Thanks for the update, and I hope that you and the inside crew are staying as snuggly as can be also!

I don't think he notices the movies one bit! LOL I think they are more for me to feel like it's not so boring in there. Who knows though, maybe he watches them when I'm not in there.

Oh Barney, I missed your sweet face and those little paws. I had Barney withdrawal! I'm so glad to get my fix and now I'm as good as new. Hopefully, you'll be as good as new soon, too. More (((HUGS))) to you are on the way, Lara, and lots of gentle pets for Barney.

That makes me your Barney supplier! LOL I promise, I'll never make you go cold turkey! Just down to around once a week these days. lol Thanks Mary

I don't know if it's just me, or the upcoming Holidays, or the weather in general, but I just can't help tearing up whenever I read or see video's of our precious, precious Barney. I'm sure he would be dead by now if it wasn't for Angela and you taking him in. I know that whatever time God will allow him to have, he is not suffering and knows what love and care finally is. I can see the love in his sweet face when he looks up at you.
I can't say it enough times, but THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for caring for this adorable boy. I'm also sorry that you had to cancel your trip. You surely deserved a little time off for everything you are doing and are continuing to do for Barney. You are truly his Guardian Angel.
Please give Barney some scritchies and a loving kiss from me. What I wouldn't do to give these to him in person.

Thank you for your kind post. He has that effect on me too but I'm toughening up a little bit because I have to see that little grumpy face everyday. lol

To be honest, I'm SO GLAD or trip was cancelled! I wanted to see my inlaws but not in this weather. Hopefully next month will be better. Plus, I don't know how long Barney has and I didn't want to give up 4 days with him.

p.s. Thank you for rescuining Minou from the cold!

I love reading Barney's updates, and seeing his pics and videos. He seems to be more alert and animated than in previous ones - that's a good sign!!! And I'm so glad that Sherbie's house inspired the one you have made for Barney. It looks really cozy and I imagine that Barney is enjoying it to the fullest! Sherb is definitely enjoying his. My only regret is that I didn't make him one sooner - but he's making up for lost time.
Again - I thank you sooo much for all that you are doing for this special little guy. Every day that he survives, is because of your love and caring. Indeed, he is blessed to have you there for him!

I'm glad he looks more lively. Some days are better than others and today is one of them.
I just love Sherbie's house, you did a GREAT job on it! He must be so relaxed in there and probably feels so safe and cozy. And when the dryer vent is going, it must be Heaven!
I know what you mean about wishing you'd done something sooner. I wish I had found Barney earlier but as someone mentioned in this thread at some point, animals live in the moment and Sherbie and Barney are doing just that.

Prayers for Barney and for all of you. God bless you all. Much love and good wishes to you. Pat

Thank you so much Pat.


Mini update:
Well...the little stinker hasn't stepped foot in his new house!!
I snuck in, which is easy to do since he can't hear me and took two pics. I'm hoping by the time I go out there to tuck him in, he will be in there.

Sorry you had to cancel your trip, Lara - but then, I'm happy you're staying home with Barney, he obviously loves you.

It's a nice house you made for him, and I'm sure as soon as you leave, he'll be in there. That teddy with the hot water bottle is a brilliant idea, he will soon find out how warm and cosy it is to lay on. Barney has been living outside for a long time, so he may not feel the cold as bad as an indoor cat, but I hope your weather won't get too cold.

I enjoyed the video, you can see that he is definately more interested in your love and care than anything else.

Give him some more kisses from me, please!

I wouldn't worry about Barney not using his new house. I've learned that when they're uncomfortable enough, they'll do something about it, so if he gets cold enough, he'll go in there, the silly billy.
