Happy Birthday Barney!
 

Happy Birthday to our now 13 yo retired working lab,Barney.

He has a bandaged front leg at the mo,thanks to Salgroom nursing him with me over weekend.

He went into bandage on his 13th,which was actually yesterday,but is soldiering on.
Today he is 50% better for sure.He can now walkus a short distance.

Anyway,he does as many miles in an Audi as we do,when we own one.
So,Happy Birthday Barneyballs!!

Hey!

Didnt want to start a sad RIP thread,and it hasnt happened yet.

Due to a really bad sprain on Barn's only strong leg,we have decided to have him put to sleep on Monday....

He is still happy in his mind.Its the best thing,as hes on painkillers for this,and can only walk to go to the loo now.Its better than him having a heart attack or some other painful end in the next year or so.
So,come Monday morning,he will get a long groom,all the food he shouldnt eat,then lots of love and heaven will then await the Barn...

He will be laid to rest next to one of his old working buddies,on friends' 3 acre site in rural Fenland,and a splendid tree planted as a tribute to his life.

We have been taking care of all 9 dogs there and left today taking the dog who will be by our sides for a few years to come.

His name is Hobley,hes Rottweiler sized,but a choccie boy.A real gentle giant.Barn loves having him here.As for Storm the Persian Cat,hes just had a pissy protest and gone all over his bed! I love cats! They say **** off really well!!

poor old Barney sad news :sad:

:(:(:sad::sad:

:shake::shake: Thats really sad mate :sad::sad::sad:

Love from all us here and a Woof from all our boys and girls :(

:sad::sad:Sorry to hear that Groom, sad news

Barney has got to a good age....BUT there are times when you need to be cruel to be kind.... as you say Groomus,why watch his health deteriorate and him in pain just to extend his life span longer than what is comfortable for him and for you.

Sorry to hear of this news Steve & Sal

:shake:

:sad::sad::sad: sorry to hear this

I feel for you groom, I love my pets ( not allowed em by wifey ) but they are at my parents and slowly they have got old and I tried dearly to hold onto one that I adored and I'm sure she suffered because I was selfish , I regret that and it's z truly noble decision to make , take care fella and give barns a big hug!

Thank you all from Sally and I for your many kind words.

He went very peacefully this morning at 9.45am

He was then taken in the Legend,in Hearseus mode,to his resting place at the Lab Breeders/Working Dog Trainers who he spent his first 8 years with.

The location is 3 1/2 acres of beautiful gardens made on an open flat fen.
I dug him his grave and buried him,saying a few prayers as I did so.
Sal suggested a stunning rose tree she has in her garden as something to plant with him.
Hes next to my current Lab (Hobley's) Grandfather,Biscuit.He made it two years further than Barn to a mighty 15 1/2! They now lie face to face in peace and serenity.

See you when we get there Barn.
I hope you had one peaceful entrance to the other side my best four legged friend.

Feels most unsettling this as an aside.

Gelbus gone....now Barney too.

To compensate...this week .....I shall mostly be enjoying 205 BHP and 3.2 litres of Honda power.
