Sweet Barney

[kt_luvs_kitties]

RIP sweet Barney. You will never be forgotten. You are loved by so many people. I hope the bridge is all that you deserve and more.

You are so missed already


*HUGS* to you Lara. I cant even begin to imagine the pain you are feeling.
And thank you for loving Barney, with every single piece of your heart.

Sweet Barney, with that froggy little voice and face, we all fell in love with you, the underdog of all the cats on Pet Talk. You were the one we were rooting for, we wanted to love you so much you would almost have to get better. Unfortunately that didn't work, but you knew we loved you, I am sure of that. I am sure that you felt more love than any animal has possibly ever known. YOu were loved from near and far, and by just so many who never knew you, but you touched their hearts.

Dear Barney, I hope that you are now out of pain, and young again, and spry and jumping around at the Bridge. I hope you can hear all the birds and the crickets and insects that are there, and I hope you will be happy there, knowing that you have all of our love behind you.

We are all looking forward to seeing you again, one fine day, so you better be prepared for a lot of visitors throughout the years, my boy, because you will have a lot of them coming!

Sleep softly, dear Barney, for I must go as my heart is breaking again, and I'm crying, but they are mixed tears of joy and pain, joy for you, pain for us, but the joy for you is just shining so bright! Our love for you down here, on earth, is immeasurable my dear boy, and it will be enveloping you for years to come. We all fell in love with you, and you have stolen many hearts in your short stay here. My heart will heal and I will see you again, one fine day. Love you Barney Frog.

Rest in peace, sweet one, happy and in no pain at last. Love lives on, as will you in many, many hearts tonight and always.

I found this cute poem and thought it fit our Barney this evening.


The Purry Gates
It seems that I've reached Heaven,
or it's doorstep at any rate,
and been winding round St. Peter's ankles
by the Pearly Gates,
I've plucked the angels' harp strings
and made a merry sound,
But it's plucking at my heartstrings
that you are not around.

So I think I'll sit and wait here,
just outside the door,
And as the souls come floating in,
I'll tap them with my paw,
And when you seek admittance,
they'll rename this place -
It will become Purradise,
and these the Purry Gates!

Lara you and Scott have a very special angel looking over you now. It will take some time for the huge hole in your heart to heal. We'll all still be here with you, grieving, and missing him. You were a blessing to Barney and you are so special and dear to me.

Gentle hug and a squeeze!
Mary

While I am very sad and heartbroken about Barney, I am also relieved to know he is no longer in pain. Also, I take comfort in the fact that he knew what love felt like in his last months here.
Thank you so much Lara and Scott (and Angela) for giving this to Barney.

RIP Barney

Thank you, Lara, for loving this sweet little cat and for sharing Barney's story with us. My heart is breaking right along with everybody else's.

Rest gently, Barney boy. You've left a legacy of love and courage.

Lara, what a wonderful tribute. I'm sure that with your love and care that you made Barney's last few months some of the best that he's ever had. He was a little fighter but unfortunately his body just couldn't recover from his cancer and other health problems. Now he's painfree and running happily up at Rainbow Bridge. I'm sure that my RB Pepper was part of the greeting committee. Barney has touched so many lives here on PT and we'll never ever forget him. Some day you'll be able to see him again but for now he'll live in your heart forever. RIP sweet boy. Please take care Lara and Scott. (((HUGS)))

Sweet little Barney- thank you for touching our lives all over the world.
You have been loved and you paid that love back a thousand times.
Play happily at Rainbow Bridge.

Lara, it breaks my heart thinking of that drive. Now sit down and try to relax. You made the right decision.

Rest gently, Barney boy. You've left a legacy of love and courage.

Barney your legacy will live on in many hearts - rest sweetly dear one.

Lara and Scott - I remembered the first time of joy with Barney, after he peed on the bed at the other home.

He got a bit stronger and actually went to the litterbox on his own the next time!

Barney, we were with your human purrents for every little victory, every ounce of weight you gained at the beginning - right to the end, with sad news, but hope against hope that something could be done for you.

And it was - you snuggled in Lara's lap in your blankie, and were content. You went to the Bridge, more loved than you ever had been.

I hope and pray you know the love you have, that you are free and happy.

Lara and Scott - hugs to you, THANK YOU for loving Barn-Barn in every way possible.

Lara, thank you for a beautiful tribute to Barney. And thank you for all you have done for him.

Barney, you have walked an alley of almost a hundred candles, and you are now the Top Angel on the RB. I believe that Pjevs and Fister's mom, Mrs. Spot will be there to show you around and protect you.

Before you had to go, you got to know true love, and you have affected SO many humans in the best way. You have touched our hearts very deeply in the past few months.

Sleep softly sweet Barney - you were so loved and you will be in our hearts forever.

Barney, I don't think you had any idea of what impact a ragged little cat could have on this earth. But you did.

Godspeed.

[Pinot's Mom]

Lara and Scott, thank you for sharing that sweet froggy kitty with the world, he linked us all in a very special way, and I hope you know how much Barney meant to us. I'm sure, as someone else mentioned, he's had a grand entrance to the Bridge, and my savvy tomcat CK is holding one heck of a party (of many in his honor) to make sure Barney feels welcome! Now take a moment, realize how magical this space in time has been, and know that Barney is happy, healthy and free of pain.

You're wonderful people to have done this for Barney, and for us. Bless you!

What a wonderful memorial...You did such a tremendous thing for this precious angel...Like you said... "...This little cat just breaks my heart..." Barney broke all of our hearts, but what a legacy he leaves behind...All of us here at PT thinking, praying and remembering this sweet kitty...Many, many of us from, at last count, 5 different countries. Wow!

Thank you again, Lara, for sharing Barney with us...It has been a sad, wrenching time, but as it turns out, it has been a real gift, too. He will always be your special purr angel watching over you both...

Sleep Precious Barney...You are loved so very much, and will never be forgotten...
