Sweet Barney

[kb2yjx]

Thank you Lara for being brave enough to love and care for this very special cat that brought so many people together...Barney may be gone, but there will be another cat that will come to one of us, who will need the same love and care, and again we will band together for the fight like we did for Barney.

Barney, your candle is still lit on the front porch, despite the wind we had last night. Like Phred suggested, I am going to keep your light going....I hope all our Angels were there to meet you at the Bridge. Can you just imagine the procession that took place as Barney was escorted over the Bridge??

Sleep softly Barney...

Barney Angel...
I feel so blessed to have known you and been a small part of your life, even tho it was across many miles. I'll never forget you, since you felt like part of my own family. So for now I am saying farewell, but never good-bye.
Play hard at RB, and enjoy all your days with new friends, knowing that you will be with Lara and Scott again one day.
Peace to you Barney, and to Lara and Scott as well.

I hope you had a safe trip to the bridge Barney, there will be so many Pet Talk angels waiting to greet you, say hi to Jack for me, you will now be transported back to how you were in your prime, beautiful fur, bright eyes, puffy tail....have fun there, there will be many that want to see you again one day

I don't think Barney was scared once he was wrapped in his blankie and on his meowmie's lap. Was he also in the blanket on the ferry? He was very bonded to you, and if you were there he felt ok. He might have found the rough sea trip tiring, which is maybe why he was 'limp' at the vet's. Don't second guess yourself.

Lara, I wonder...if you do get to speak to the woman who was the girlfriend of that young man who died in that dirt bike accident, and if he DID have a fluffy black and white cat - well, that would have to be Barney? She might even have a couple of pictures of him from when he was a bit younger.

Today, January 11 - the COTD is named Barney.

HUGS to you, Lara. And hugs to Scott.

I agree w/this, Lara. Because our furkids can't speak for themselves, we imagine all sorts of things. Go easy on yourself, kiddo. You were wonderful w/Barney from the get-go until the end.
