Dear Barney

You were the best friend anyone could ever have. We had you when you were just 7 weeks old, we lost you when you were 16 years and 58 days old.

You were a little ball of  white fluff, your breed was a bichon frise.

You wre so very loving you didn't have a bad bone in your body and you were my best friend, we had so many happy years together.



Then you developed cushings and later doggy alzheimers but you did really well on the medication even though sometimes you didn't know where you were, you were such a happy little soul, playing with your toys and always coming for cuddles. You were always there for everyone when they were low,especially me.

Then on 29th march 2006, I noticed a lump in the front of your mouth when you yawned- there were no other signs, you had been eating and drinking- I rushed you to see Uncle Robin-your vet, and his face said it all. He asked us to bring you back the following day for tests and xrays but told us that some of the results would not be back until the following week. We took you back the following week kissed yoau and told you we loved you and that we would see you later- you went trotting off with the nurse, we came away,my heart was already breaking. but within two hours the vet telephoned to tell us you had cancer of the mouth, we were devastated.

We asked him to wait until we got to the surgery, he kept you asleep as he said you would be in a lot of pain ifhe had woken you.

That day will stay with me forever, I remember Paul carrying you into the surgery- you had a little blue bandage on your leg which was holding the line in place.

Laura, Dandan and I cuddled you and told you how much we all loved you and then you gently drifted away.

We took you to a private crematorium where we had you cremated individually.

We have your ashes in a beautiful casket surrounded by angels, your favourite pinnywig toy and some pebbles I collected on the beach at Luss in Scotland where you loved to walk on our holidays.



I will never forget the day we lost you, I will never recover from losing you, when you died you took such a huge piece of my heart with you

You are so very special to me Barney and I will love you forever and wherever I go I carry you with me in my heart,until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge.

Wait for me my darling.

I LOVE YOU

All my love
