Barney is an Angel Now.

I'm familiar with Judith Viorst's work, but didn't know about this one. Thanks so much for telling us about it...Even though it's a children's book, everyone can appreciate the wonderful story. And the fact that the cat's name in the book is Barney, is so sweet and just perfect. Thanks again...

P.S. Thanks for the link, too!

Another candle for Barney - 53 now in 4 countries.
Lara - all our thoughts and prayers are with you and Barney - especially today. I know how difficult this is, as I, along with so many others here, have had to do the same thing.
Peace to you, Scott, and most of all, to dear sweet Barney.

I'm trying to send Barney thought pics of RB and my RB kitties from across the miles. I hope they can travel that far.

My thoughts are with you guys today. Thank you for taking the time to respond to all the messages so personally. You are a dear heart that is for sure. We'll all be saddened today, but it is comforting to know that this sweet little kitty will no longer be in pain and that he was able to find love at least once in his life. And it is quite possible it is for the second time if what you mentioned before about having a home in the past is true. And it must because there's no way he could have lived to the age that it is estimated that he is without being cared for by someone. Thank you again. *HUGS* to sweet Barney!

Barney Boy and Lara, my thoughts will be w/you all day as they have been recently. May your trip be easy and light, sweet Barney. Look for my Puddy and Peeka at the RB. All three of you have endured so much during your time on earth that life at the RB is such a sweet respite. We'll all miss you so much and I envy those at the RB who will have the pleasure of your company.

My heart is with you today! Bless you for all that you have done for this sweet little spirit.

The candle in the kitchen is lit all day for Barney. I was thinking about the poem " Lend me a Kitten," and thought about how we have some of our cats for a very long time, and then there are those that stay for such a short time. No matter how long they were with us, we willis still a hole in our hearts. Emily Dickerson wrote something about that. I will see if I can find it. I looked, but cannot find the poem....Barney, I have asked that all the Clan Angels be there for you when you cross the Bridge...Lara, we will be there with you and prayers, too.....HUGS, Sandra
