Sweet Barney

[Taz_Zoee]

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.

"Sweet little froggy face" describes Barney's appearance perfectly but only you and Scott were privileged to have the pleasure of his company. It's the outpouring of love and compassion for this little spirit, no, make that "big spirit w/a tiny body" that renews my faith in humanity. The love I felt was almost palpable and whenever I want to feel it again, I'll gaze upon his picture and be right back there. He was a blessing to the lives of all he touched in one way or another and he deserved the best and surely received it when he found you and Scott. RIP, sweet Barn-Barn. Peace to you and Scott, Lara.

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!

You will be forever missed, Barney. Hugs to Lara and Scott.

Barney what a blessing you were to so many lives here on Pet Talk. I will miss that "sweet froggy" face that is etched in my mind. I will miss going daily to Cat Health right away to see the "Barney update". You brought people together in a way that was phenomenal. It was wonderful to read the words of eloquence that people wrote. It was wonderful to read the words from the heart that people wrote. I know for one that my life was enriched by all who shared and posted. Thank you for what you gave us.

Barney you were blessed with angels in Lara and Scott. Lara is an extraordinary person who opened her heart to share yours and hers incredible journey with you. God will look with favor on Lara for the compassion of her heart and Scott's also. Thank you Lara for what you shared and gave. Thank Scott also.

Barney, I know you are happy at the Bridge. You are healthy and in no pain. One day we will all get to see you again and be able to give you those scritches and scrathes and rubs we asked Lara to give to you.

Thank you sweet Barney and God for what you gave all of us...........an unbreakable bond between so many people in so many places.
