[Nucky]

The day we have feared for a long time came today. Our beautiful Brindle Boxer Barney has left us. It was very respectful the way that The Florida Veterinary Hospital treated our sweet big boy. He was a big guy and weighed 95 lbs several weeks ago but he lost his power and 20 lbs very quickly. It was not fair to keep him going as he was to weak to survive any surgery and at almost 11 years old we felt it would not be right to put him through the procedure.

We were so so lucky to be given the chance to have this beautiful gift from God our Dog Mr. Barney in our lives for so long, he will certainly be missed. We are lost without him already. He loved The Villages and we worried about him making the trip from N.J. to Florida and as it turned out he handled it better than we did.
