Barney the day we took you to the vets for the last time

was one of the hardest of my life.

I knew deep down inside that you would not be coming

home with us. I hoped against hope that I was wrong but I

knew with the look on the vets face that I wasn’t.

When he said “the time has come to end your suffering”

I knew that he was right but because my love for you was then

and is still now so strong I didn’t want to hear his words.

We made the decision to end your suffering as you didn’t deserve

to suffer any more. You were such a wonderful little boy who was like

my shadow. Our bond was so strong I know that I only had to look down

and you would be there. You were such a remarkable little chap that you

gave me a kiss and wagged your tail at the end as if to say you

understood why we had to do what we were doing you even gave

the vet a kiss as he tried to find the place in your leg to inject you.

As you passed into your peaceful sleep and your head rested in

my hands the grief was too much to bear.

I love you Barney with all my heart and I know that you do come and visit me

when I am at the computer as I feel your presence next to me.

We now have another little friend called Digby who is not here to replace

you but who is here to share our lives and to keep your brother

Timmy company who also misses you very much.

I would like to thank the In Memory of Pets web site for the chance

to leave a lasting tribute to my little angel and if it was not for them there

is a very special lady whom I would not have met.

Without my very special friend the loss of Barney would have been so

much harder to bear and I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart

for being there for me and for the friendship that we have now formed.

I now know that my little boy’s memory will live for ever.

Barney you were the one in a million and your

Mummy will love you always.
