Sweet Barney

[Bengalz]

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.

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!

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.

Lara,
I have been thinking about you for 2 days straight, I hope you are holding up well. I want to thank you so much for the care, compassion and time that you blessed Barney with. You and Scott are truly wonderful people and Barney was blessed to have been introduced to you both. If you need anything, please let me know. I will never forget Barney and your acts of kindness to him. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart, sending hugs from VA to you.

Here's hoping that Lara and Scott are hanging in there today...Most (if not all) of us have been where you guys are today. After all the agonizing and stress leading up to the end of such an ordeal, afterward you seem to go through a period where you're numb and just worn out emotionally. We're all thinking of you both today, and your sweet Barney. Know that we are always here for you guys...

Phred's suggestion of a memorial candle is a great one..I've already lit one for sweet Barney, as well as for my family's beloved purr angels keeping Barney company at the Bridge. What a wondeful site!

Hugs and prayers to you, Lara, Scott and Barney

Theres a special Animal Angel Army welcoming commitee to take Big Barney to the Saturday Animal Angel Fly in Movie Party where Barney will be the Guest Of Honor.
The Party this week is in Fiji, and Barney will get to pick from the buffet table first and sit in the rows of coches and lazy boys, all soft and know that he is in Paradise where he will never be ill or in pain, and that he will find a mate, and have a family of Eternal Animal Babies to mentor.
All thts neede to make this truly Paradise is for Barney to be reunited with his Loved Ones , so he may repay them for the love and care they showed him, and that made him a very happy Cat.
One Fine Day.
