A neighbor girl called Barnabas, Barn Dog, because that is what she heard or understood. The little girl is married now living in Texas with two cute young boys. . Banners here is in the new house among packed boxes. We lost Barney this morning at 8:00. He has left huge holes in our hearts that will never be repaired. We think he lived to be 15 years old. He was a rescued dog from the streets from a small-town in Missouri.
He was the tan color of a litter of black and white puppies. His genetics is true with certain two kinds of parents.
Barney didn’t like his photo taken and always turned his head when he saw a camera. He was able to enjoy two years in the new house and it did suit him well. He came for a visit right before we moved and he had a attitude when we visit. He did grow the like the new place and also the front yard.
We had a rough past week with Barney going into decline starting on the Sunday night. I did not go to the funeral on Monday as he needed adaptation to his going outside. I had to do them and I was not too successful with that.. His decline in walking ,eating and the general old dog stuff got to be very complicated. I won’t share things immediately but as time goes by my wife and I learned a lot about the last days of a dog, and I want to share them. I only learned them by the experiences with Barney. They are things that we would have done so much differently. Hey thanks for stopping by today.
