    I have tealights lit in all my saltbox houses on my mantle. It looks so nice and cozy. I know Barney will feel warm and cozy at the Bridge.

    Here's another hand, Cindy.

    Thanks Mary & Judy - what a great bunch you ALL are.

    And funny - but I was thinking of sunglasses for Barney too when I saw that candle count growing.

    I hope Lara's okay...

    My 3 candles in the window are still burning.

    Godspeed, Barney, you are home now, safe and healthy and pain-free and happy, where you will await the arrivals of your beloved Lara and Scott, One Fine Day for each one.

    I've got your hand Pat! Even though I'm already holding Claudia and Jennies, in cyberspace you can do anything.
    And I think we all have the blurry screen syndrome right now.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I just got home so I didn't get to light my candle at 5:00 as I had planned. The weather is terrible and so are the roads so it took forever to get home so I ran upstairs right away and lit Barney's candle to help light his way to the Bridge, although I know he won't need it. Barney's sweet little face is light enough. I also lit a candle for Lara. It's so difficult to help a fur child to the Bridge but I think we'll all agree that this time it's really special. I thought of nothing else all day and when I got slowed down in traffic I used the time to say a prayer for Barney.

    A round of tissues for everyone.....
    Blessings,
    Mary

    **sniff** Here's a big garbage bag. Just dump your tissues in here. I must find a way to dry off my face and collect myself. I surely have to get some work done today.

    Welcome home sweet Barney! Thank you for sharing your time down here with us.

    Lara and Scott, when you get home, take some time to breath and grieve. When you've settled down please come back and let us know that you are OK.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    (((bear hug)))

    cleaning up tissues..

    It has been wonderful to have you all to hold on to. I need to make myself get up and go feed the fur kids. Take care. Barney should be safely home now.

    Ellie, Mary and everybody...

    (holding hands and picking up tissues)..."Thanks everybody" is right!!!Wow! As bad as it's been, it's easier with lots of support from everyone...I hope Lara's okay, too. I think she is...She's strong and has a lot of love and support, and knows that Barney is now free of pain and sickness at the Bridge...

    Dear Barney, I know that you will find a way to let your Mom and Dad know that you are now happy, free of cancer and enjoying the huge greeting you had at the Rainbow Bridge.

    Just a gentle paw on their cheek should do it.

    Beautiful spirit - enjoy your freedom and health - you will be reunited one day.
