MY LITTLE BARNEY
Just a humble little beagle Thin and scared as you could be, Your owner had abused you My spirit instantly claimed you for me.
Oh gently how we loved you And welcomed you to our heart and home. Miss Lily, Chancey and Little Barney Our threesome, to play and roam.
We fed and trained and taught you Trust finally put you constantly by my side, What a delightful crazy little character Developed when love could abide.
You delighted in the little things Busy with pleasures every day, You showed deep love and affection Moves and gestures in your own little way.
You were my sunshine in any darkened hour My “happy- I love you- and I missed you - I’m so glad you are home with me - Please hold me and let me love you to.”
We shared with you what ever we had Our home, our couch, our bed, You snuggled and cuddled into our sides, Rolling your eyes with what we said.
The crazy things you made into a game A fun character just you alone, Chancey loved to join in the frolic He protected - claimed you for his own.
Your little body was worn with age Broke down, no more running for you. You were always young in spirit Never too old or tired, slow or blue.
No one can know the heart wrenching sobs To let you go - set your hurting soul free. After eleven plus years of loving you It simply ripped the heart out of me.
I could write about you forever But words could never express so, The love and gratitude of having you Choose to live with us you know.
For you were my special angel Sent for us from God above, May heaven hold a special Barney place Filled just for you with our love.
Little Barney, how I loved and needed you But this I know deep down inside, If love was all it took to save you, You never would of died.
To our beloved Little Barney, our special beagle who I believe was made for us and who came to live with us January 1994 and left us May 13th 2005. How our heart and home miss you Barney. You were a very special little crazy character that so loved us and wanted to be loved by us. May all the love you poured into our lives come back to you multiplied, until we are together again.
Forever in my heart. Love Mom
