I used to train him to do tricks with that. We trained him to roll over and over and over again! We taught how to give his paw and how to say "mama." We taught him how to "sit pretty." He was a dog that wanted to please. I'll never forget when I came home from school one day and he was there! And he ate apples and nectarines, too. I've never seen a dog go so completely limp, spread-eagle, when having his belly rubbed. I'll never forget the simultaneous jingle of his collar and whimper as he scratched his forever-goopy ears. Then when you'd call him over to rub his ears for him, he's look up at you so lovingly with gratitude. When we first got him, he was afraid of laundry baskets and being left in a room by himself. He was so vulnerable and we wondered what experiences he had had before coming to live with us. But in the 15 years living with you and George, he learned to trust and love. <br />Love,<br />ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042586512666581047.post-46122404527054666522011-02-07T20:06:42.686-06:002011-02-07T20:06:42.686-06:00Such a wonderful tribute to a family member who br...Such a wonderful tribute to a family member who brought such joy and life to your home!

I know you'll miss him and feel his loss deeply. You'll also keep the words of the poem in mind and be reassured that all is well with Barney. He's not sad or suffering. Still, I'm so very sorry.
