[Gpdd] BRIDGE: Barnee

Darling Kacee

I'm so so sorry sweetie, when I got your next email I was busy with the
phone so didn't see it in time..............
>From the moment I saw it I had you in my thoughts, just knowing what
hell you were putting yourself thru.  But love you did the best thing
for the brave boy, I'm sure he knew and loved you even more for helping
him.  What a brave man he was and such a fighter, I used to tell Dukey
about Barnee so that he'd be encouraged xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I will miss hearing about his antics and how kind he always was to his
cage mates, bless him a true little gentleman. 
RIP Barnee run free at the bridge little guy, you've got many family
members to catch up with and look up Dukey as I know he loved to chat to
you on your many virtual trips.  As you were the elder statesman for the
Munchees I know how much you'll be missed by all your family but NEVER
forgotten, I'm sure you've passed on your wise and caring ways to many
of the other Munchees bless you little man xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
))))) for you love and for the Munchees.
Another of our beautiful piggies has travelled.......another little star
shining above us all.

Love
Glynis (in mem Sully and Duke) xxxx

It's with great sadness that I report that Barnee has gone to the
Bridge.  Unfortunately, I had to help him on his way.  He took a turn
for the worse yesterday morning and was coughing and trying to breath.
I took him to the vet and he said there really wasn't anything he could
do for the little guy.  After discussing his situation (he couldn't eat
because he couldn't breathe properly), we decided not to let him go on
having trouble breathing.  Although I wondered all day if I had made the
right decision, I realized when I got to the vet's at 5 p.m. that it was
the right one.  He had deteriorated since the morning and having a lot
of trouble breathing.  Barnee was 7 1/2 or 8.  In addition to the
congestive heart failure, he had some small bladder stones and a very
large one which was also acting up yesterday as there was blood in his
urine.

He was one of two Munchees that I got from an actual rescue and I was
told he was about 2 at that time.  His buddy, Jake, went to the Bridge
about a year and a half after I got from them  from the rescue.
Eventually, I put him in with Kadee and they got along fine often
cuddling together in one of their hideaways.  Barnee was a sweet and
gentle Munchee and I will miss him terribly.

Run free Barnee Boo and go find Jake and  Kadee to play with along with
all of the other Munchees who have gone to the Bridge.  I love you
little man!
