Thanks to all MYCORGI friends.

It really helps to have each one of your comments and I know Barney is in a better place with all of our lost corgi's. We have 2 beautiful corgi's in Heaven. Corki was 14 when she passed and little Christi was 6. It does help to have y'all there as we go through the grief of losing Barney. We had been treating him for Kidney failure since Oct 2010 with special prescription food and medication. KF caused him to have high blood pressure as well but, we had all that under control with 2 medications. So, when he started pacing, breathing hard and just seemed uncomfortable...Sunday, I sat down in the floor with him and comforted him so he could rest for awhile. I thought this was the Kidney Failure. Monday morning, he wasn't hungry and as we all know - this is definitely a red flag. I took little Barney to see the doc and after ultrasounds and examinations, Barney had a large tumor in his abdomen in the Bladder and Prostate area. This was blocking his ability to go to the bathroom, too. So, we knew this was it..... She gave me pain pills and I brought him back home with alot of tears and sadness. He got worse as the night came on.... We had to make the decision, not for us but for Barney. He was pitiful and he just looked at me to do something... I knew he was in so much pain.
It is so hard... we had 3 corgis at one time and now, we have Andy to love. My email address, twitter, blogs, user names, etc is CORGIS247 - that says it all. My life revolves around my dogs as I am a true dog lover. And, when I love my 'furkids" I do it with so much of my being. Losing Barney was losing a part of my soul. He was always attached to me whereever I went. Thanks to all of you wonderful people for understanding and being so sweet during our sad days.

Comment by Gail and Ashton on March 31, 2011 at 4:41pm: They add so much to our lives, filling each day with so much love and laughter. Hold on to those memories. You made the toughest decision and it was one that was made purely out of love. I'm sure he is over the Rainbow Bridge having a good ol' FRAP with all of our canine friends who have already crossed over. <3

Comment by Lucy & Ricky (Wendy/Jack ) on March 31, 2011 at 11:25am: Barney had a beautiful life and I hope it helps knowing that you did all you could including make the right decision when it was time to let him go. I hope he's with your Corki and my Gorki, and Annie, Rookie & Maggie and Dylan and Emily. I recently stumbled into a photo Dylan the day we made our decision. It's so hard seeing that photo. He was 14 and looked so old and tired. I remember when I took the photo that I thought he looked so handsome. My only regret with Dylan is that maybe I waited a little too long. Barney will always be in your heart and soul. I'm glad you're finding some comfort on mycorgi. I know I do just looking at everyone's Corgis and reading their stories. It's a strong bond between corgi owners!

Comment by Taffy (corgi is Hercules) on March 31, 2011 at 9:15am: You took really good care of Barney. He was a handsome boy, love those eyes.

Comment by Joanne Koppenaal on March 31, 2011 at 9:10am: What a winsome face! First time reading your posts, my heart goes out to you, I will say a prayer for you and your precious Barney. That he is happy across the Rainbow Bridge . I hope it's true that we will get to see them once again!

Comment by Jane Christensen on March 31, 2011 at 9:02am: I totally understand the feeling as we had to have a pet goat and my daughters dog (who we "shared") put to sleep this year. You did what was right for Barney and that showed how much you care! The days will get better and then you will read about others going through this and cry...but in your heart you know what a loving owner will do for their pet! He's probably on his morning run with all the other corgis that have had to leave us.... Take care!
