    I have believed for a long time now that God sends these precious creatures to be four-legged angels in our lives. I think we often believe that when one of these unfortunate animals crosses our path, we are helping to save them, and we are...But, I also believe that these angels are sent to us for our benefit, too. Several times over the course of my life, one of our cats (they have all been strays), has appeared, seemingly from nowhere, just when something difficult has or was about to befall me and/or my family. And every one of them has been such a blessing!

    I believe that Barney is one of these angels. And when he leaves us here on earth, he will return to where he came from, and will enjoy comfort and peace at The Rainbow Bridge. Thank you Lara for giving him the love and protection that he so deserves.

    Barney may be an angel of the 4-legged variety, but you, Lara, (and Scott) have been his angel.

    As it is written in Matthew 25:40 -
    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

    The other day Taz was sitting as you described between sitting and laying down. I stood there and looked at him for a minute and was just thinking of Barney.

    Little things like that will always remind me of "our" Barney Boy.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    You all are one bunch of great people!!! I was touched by each of your posts!! Friday, I will be home cooking for our amateur radio club dinner that evening. I will light a candle and put it on the stove(it will be safe there from the Clan), and while I cook, I can say some prayers for Barney , Lara, and Scott. I will put the other candle outside on the front porch before Barry and I leave to bring the food and set up for the dinner. In spirit, we all will be together. Lara, I really hope you will feel all the vibrations from all of us, one BIG hug to wrap around you as you hold Barney, when he leaves for the Bridge...Sandra

    Virtual Candle

    I found a wonderful site where I lit a candle for Barney and Lara. It will stay lit for 48 hours. So it will stay lit until Friday around 7:30 pm EST. Here is a link to it. http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng

    You can all be a part of this. It will be the candle for BarnB with my initials MBD. Go to "search" either put in my initials or Group search BarnB.

    Yes, this is a great site. I've lit candles there for years and I've passed it on to a lot of people. Isn't it nice?
    Blessings,

    Great idea! I had forgotten about this site. I lit a candle for Barney too with my initials KEL in the group you created.

    Thank you for sharing such a wonderful site!

    Purr-tender...What a great site! I had never heard of this before, and am so glad that I have now! What a wonderful way to remember and memorialize someone (or something) dear to us. There are four candles (and counting) lighting the way for Barney!

    Thanks again for telling us about this!!!

    Find and *click* on an UNlighted candle - it will become Your Candle for Barney.
    Follow the instructions that will appear beside your candle.

    Safe Trip, Barney!

    {{{HUGS}}} to You and Lara & Scott
