I was here last night while Lara was making the thread, but I couldn't stay awake to post. I woke this morning and my thoughts went to Barney and how far he came just in the last few months. He had been outside and then worked his way inside with Angela. Then he had the run of the house even though he wasn't supposed to even be in there. Then he worked his way over to Lara's place in the outbuilding. He had quite the setup there with his movies and everything else. Then he moved himself into the main house even though that wasn't part of the original plan. Again he was out and about allowed to enjoy the fire and music. I think Barney was quite the manipulator! I too will miss the daily and extensive updates on his adventures. He will be missed but not forgotten.
