GOD SPEED MY PRECIOUS BARNEY
Posted on 12. Jul, 2010 by jeanine in Blog
Words cannot begin to describe my heartache. Although we did everything we could to save this precious soul, it just wasn’t good enough. Thursday I got a call saying he was declining rapidly and I rushed over to the vet’s office. I held Barney in my arms with tears streaming down as he looked at me with tired eyes which spoke volumes. After consultation with the vet I had to make the excruciating decision to end his suffering and let him go to a place where he would no longer be in pain. I stroked his little body, kissed his precious head, and told him how much I loved him and that we would one day be reunited. I know my heartdog Bijou was waiting at the Bridge to welcome him to utopia where he’s now romping in fields of flowers with all those beloved pooches that went before him. Barney’s ashes will be returned to me and will reside next to Bijou. I’m consoled by the fact this special little dog knew he was loved and he most certainly will never be fogotten.
To all those who so generously donated on his behalf I’m forever greatful.
GOD SPEED MY PRECIOUS BARNEY!

Yes, godspeed to this special little guy. He had the gift of having final care and respite from you. We could tell from your e-mail that he meant a lot to you.
You have been a true blessing to pooch rescue, and these little guys seem to know it.
Thank you for all that you do!

This parvo virus is such a tough one. Our vet said that it could mean pretty severe organ failure, even with the very best of care…
I called Dr. Bob when I was a little tempted to call you about Barney…. Pat
Oh, my gosh Jeanine what a heartbreak. And, he was one of the sweetest and handsomest looking boys. It must have been devastating for you, but you have solace in knowing that you did everything that YOU possibly could have done for that little boy.
all the very best to your continuing good work
love,
Jay and Pierre and Anthony
So sad for Barney…so sad…
