I cannot believe that for a second time in such a short period I have to make another sad announcement.
Unfortunately our beloved Barney, has gone to join Archie. He was my Mum’s constant companion and shadow. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.

So sorry to hear about the boys, I’m sure that they are still being excellent greeters on the other side of that bridge.

Hi Kath,
I am sure they are, I just hope they don’t bark too loud, thank you for your thoughts
Yvonne
Oh so sad … but you will have wonderful, warm memories of them.
Yvonne, I am so sorry. He was such a cheery little chap. Hard to think I was patting him so recently. It was the only quilt shop I have ever been in (in many countries) where one was greeted by such friends as those two. Such happy memories. Margaret
Hi Margaret
What lovely things to say, Barney & Archie loved people & we hope it made our visitors feel special.
Thank you

I am so very sad to hear that you have lost two companions in such a short period. Their loss will leave a huge gap in your family. My thoughts are with you.
Kaye
Thank You, Kaye, they have been such an important part of my life, I am finding I a call for Barney, but he doesn’t come, but I am sure he can hear me.
Yvonne
You have been in my thoughts all day Yvonne after you phoned me. I have just finished re-reading “Rainbow Bridge” which Barbara (from CQ) had given me after Amber passed away… and then I read Sam’s posting above – tears are just pouring. I feel your loss and know you will be feeling incredibly sad and lost. Barney was a dog-in-a-million and loved by many. Heartfelt hugs to you. Love J xox
Oh, Julie, You are so lovely, thank you for such sincere words, we all appreciate them, I thought I saw him this morning!! Just shows how important he was to me, but we have puppy Bailey who met Barney & spent time with him, which was lovely.
Love Yvonne xxx
Dear Yvonne and Family
I was really sad to hear of Barney’s passing.
We will miss that sweet little furry welcome we would get when we dropped by for a visit.
Libby, Heather and Vanessa
Hi Libby,
Thank you for this & for the flowers, you are so kind
Dear Mum it will be hard coming home and not be greeted at the door as we have been for so many years.
Barney was your friend your partner and your defender,your dog.
You were his life, his love, his leader.
He was yours faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart.
You have yet again given your best friend the best gift you could give PEACE.
Dear Claire,
This is beautiful, thank you, & you are so right he was my best friend & his love was unconditional, I miss him so.
But Bailey will meet you when you come & visit & I am sure will soon become a great fill in for Barnes
Love, Mumxxx
