This has been a bad couple of years.
Lots of friends have lost their companions. And now Brigid has lost Barkley. Go and give her some love.
Partner’s Johan and Wolfgang. Gary’s Emerson. Mr B’s Schmoo. All gentle creatures and wonderful companions, all dogs I would shed blood for if need be.
Barkly was the very measure of a Dog, the embodiment of unbridled joy. The world is colder without him in it. We who knew him were privileged to have spent time in his company.
I will see you again, someday, Barkley. Meanwhile, keep a spot on the couch warm for us.

Will do.
Amen to that… At least he’s now chasing those ducks in heaven…
Yeah, I’ve just been there. Quite saddening even though we knew it was a possibility.
I’ve ( along with many others ) have left my condolences, and prayers have been said on her behalf.
As others said, Barkley was a Good Dog. No higher accolade for a furry friend than that.
Yeah, not an easy time. Barkley was gentle and a good defender. Perfect Companion. The world has lost some of its brightness.
I feel sorry for her loss and expressed that there.
He was her muse on many an occasion.
