I lost  my beloved Barney on September 3, 2001. This was one of the greatest
losses of my life! Words cannot express the pain I feel for the loss of my
best friend. Barney died on labor day, a day of rest and peace. Now sweet
Barney you will rest in peace forever. I love you and you will always be in
my heart and soul. One day I know we will be together again, perhaps at The
Rainbow Bridge. Until then just know that my love for you will protect and
surround you in Heaven.

      Barney came to me when he was just a small kitten and I a teen. We
grew up together. Barney fit in the palm of my hand when I first got him and
he would sleep in my hair and knead. Whenever I would eat anything Barney
felt entitlement and would sit in front of my plate with his big green
charming eyes looking into mine. He knew he would get that taste of food or
anything else he wanted, because he was certain that he was the center of my
universe and was very proud of it. He was right of course. Barney was there
for me for everything that life offers good or bad. If I was sad he would
just head bud me, hey who am I kidding he would head bud me anyway even if I
was happy. I stood by barney when he was diagnosed with Feline diabetes and
later cancer. Barney was very strong, he tolerated Chemotherapy every month
for three and a half years! He was loving and understanding even during these
treatments as I held him and kissed him and told him how much I loved him. He
truly was my best friend. Barney was there when I opened my eyes in the
morning. I think he could hear my eyelids open because when they did he was
in my face.

Barney's most favorite thing was the sink, He would race me to
the sink in the morning for his AM drink. It was always a battle as to
whether He would get the drink first or if I would brush my teeth. Now Barney
you will have an unlimited sink and from its faucet will run the cold water
you loved so much and sprinkled within will be my love.

                                    I LOVE YOU
