Barney is an Angel Now.

[slick]

OK, I'm supposed to be working but you could shoot a cannon through here so I decided to catch up on this thread and read the last couple of weeks worth of posts.

I'm at a loss for words. LES.....major LES...the videos put me over the edge. I have tears streaming down my face. How do you do it??? I don't think I could ever be as strong as you. You have done so much for this little guy....no little kitty could ever ask for more. Thanks to you he's warm and dry with a full tummy, getting the vet care he needs and giving and receiving as much love as his little heart can handle.

Bless you and Scott and I'm sorry your trip got cancelled but I can now see it's for the best. I would have done the same thing. Time spent with Barney now is what's important.

.....and to think you all are only a couple of ferry rides away from me....

Merry Christmas and Happy Mew Year!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Thanks for all the posts.
Here is a quick video of the snow and Barney cruising around the house a bit on Christmas Eve day.

Awww...how sweet! That's a lot of snow! I'm glad we got to see your puppies! As always it is so nice to see Barney! I noticed what you had been saying about his legs while he was eating. I love seeing him follow you from room to room. THANKS for all you've done and for sharing him with us!

Lara!! I do not think that you convinced Barney that the dogs mean no harm!!! Barney seems very happy and content!!! GREAT JOB!!!

Lara,
I think he's looks good! I did see his poor leg going out from under him when he was eating or drinking, but I think he's still getting around great. I hope you, Scott and all of your furbabies had a great Christmas!

[Purr-tender]

That was very enjoyable. It's nice you had a white Christmas, that always makes it a little more special. Smart dogs, they know where it's nice and warm. Barney looked wonderful wandering around. That was a great Christmas present for me.


A very merry Christmas to you and Scott and all your fur babies, especially Barney!

Barney looks happy and comfy - can just go to his food dish and EAT, which is something he didn't do for a very very long time.

In that one part of the video - can he HEAR the dogs? Maybe he senses a vibration?

Great to see dear Barney...please give him gentle hugs for me.

You're still giving him the immune stuff that Angela had? I do hope for a miracle...but as I said before, right now is a miracle for him to be inside, loved, warm and fed - not necessarily in that order!

Merry Christmas to all your family, and of course Barney!!! He looked so comfortable in your house. What a beautiful little guy. It just fills my heart with warmth to know how much you have helped him and how much of a difference you have made in his life!

Thank you Lara and Scott for taking such good care of Barney and giving him a warm wonderful Christmas. I loved watching him follow you around. You can tell how much he loves you. One of my prayers for the coming year is that you two will be blessed from God above for the love, care and compassion you have given Barney. I hope your Christmas was wonderful and the coming New Year Blessed.

As Barney walked around your lovely home I could almost hear his thoughts "Wow, I went from a pauper to a king! Look at this palace! Am I lucky or what?" So much snow outside, Lara! I can imagine how glad you must be that he's indoors now, safe and warm and soaking up so much love from you and Scott. Again, thank you. You made my Christmas.

Loved the video of "The Barn" (if Trump can be "The Donald", then Barney can be "The Barn"!) wandering around FREE!!! He's found heaven on earth and is "the cat loved round the world"! I couldn't help but wonder what caught his attention when he was looking so intently at the door. Maybe he was thinking "I'm NEVER going to have to be on the other side of that again. Happy-happy-joy-joy!"
Your place looked like a winter wonderland for Christmas, and the dogs looked like they were enjoying it too. My 2 little ones are snow-wimps, especially Myndi who doesn't like getting her little tootsies wet at all! Hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that The Barn continues to hold his own!

My Christmas is SO much better, knowing that Barney is inside his new found Palace. He really seem to enjoy being able to move around a bit and the warmth must be heaven for him.

You really got a lot of snow, didn't you! It looks wonderful, and I'm glad the dogs are enjoying it.

Lots of kisses to Barney and hugs to you!

Holy cow that is a lot of snow!! Glad I'm not the one shoveling it, lol! The puppers looked like they were enjoying playing in it, lol. Muddy had snow all over the top of his fur, silly boy!

Barney looked like he really enjoyed being able to just wander around and follow you. He could go to his room if he wanted, he followed you through the house. His little face just warms the heart!

I saw that little leg slide out from under him while he was eating. Does it do that all the time, or only on tile where it's more smooth? My Calloway has a back leg that was injured and he will sit on a window sill and let the one leg hang down while he's there instead of sitting with both of them up on the sill. Not sure if there's less control there, but maybe that's part of Barney's problem as well? Maybe he had been injured at some point in the past, and that's a weak spot for him?

You sure did get some snow and it looks so cold outside. I'm so glad that Barney is now warm and safe in your home. I hope he'll continue to do well. Merry Christmas Barney, Lara, and Scott.
