Thinking back to the day we got him, I remember how out of the 9-10 other puppies in the litter all snuggled up together, it was my sweet little Barkley who literally jumped in my arms the minute I first walked though the door. He wouldn’t let me put him down, and although we went there intending to get a black cocker spaniel puppy, Barkley and I both knew instantly that he was our dog. We were his family and he was now home where he was always meant to be.
I never imagined in the end, he would be our dearest friend, our sweetest love, and our greatest joy ever giving to us.
How did we deserve such a sweet, beautiful dog who wanted just to make us feel loved and keep us safe.
When we looked into his eyes, never did he criticize, never did he hold a grudge, and never did he try to judge. He only gave us comfort and his undying loyalty.
Though he is gone now, he will always be inside our hearts and souls, a part of each of us forever!
What we wouldn’t do for just one more minute to love him, to try and say, thanks Barkley for giving us a lifetime of love.
“Dear God,let us see him in heaven above! But for now Lord, Grandma and Gramps, please, please hold him. Hold our Sweet Daddy, and watch over his rest… if he wakes in Your arms tell him we love him best.
We love you always Barkley,
