I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feels. My two best friends (Twins Bichons–a boy and a girl) crossed the Rainbow Bridge last year within weeks of each other. They run free now in their doggy heaven. The boy was in a similar situation. I miss them everyday. They were the best as were the memories I made with them. They'll stay with me forever. Today, I have a new dog. She was a stray at some point and now he wakes me with kisses in the morning and a enlivening joy that makes my day. They all have a forever place in my heart. I love the place you two settled in, by the way. Happy writing!

Hi Chris, what wonderful memories of Barney's amazing adventures. That he made it all the way home to Saturna before passing is poignant, yet seemingly important to have the serenity and tranquility of your island home to help ease your loss.

Wishing you all the best,

Sean

I love the stories. I loved Barney too. I’m so sorry he’s not with you in his body anymore, but know he will always be in your heart. He was a great little guy to foster and a great little world traveler with you

I lost my son to cancer in December and know how heartbreaking it is to lose a loved one be it man or beast. G -d bless you both for the wonderful life you gave him

RIP DEAR BOY

So sorry for your sweet doggy passing. I lost Snoopy & Saturday girls since moving to Fort Myers in 2001. While living on Sanibel Island I purchased your first book from Sanibel Island Bookshop and became your number 1 fan here on the gulf coast. I have thoroughly enjoyed following your adventures since! May you two have many more.

I'm so sorry to hear about Barnie, the wonder dog. But what a life he led! Many would be envious of all his adventures. Glad to hear that your trip to collect possessions and your new project RV went well. Life is a series of adjustments , like adjusting to the wind.. And you and Wayne take them all in stride. As always I love hearing about your next adventures and look forward to seeing the progress on Lance.

Bonjour Chris, so happy to hear from you. Your life is so adventurous!! I share with you Barney's loss, my white cat Nougat was poisoned in the village in December. I miss him, he was so gentle. Take good care of yourselves, thinking of you often. Bises. Joëlle

Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Barney. They become a part of us. I look forward to reading about your new adventures in your land yacht. I’m sure that when Wayne is finished with the truck it will be luxurious. Again , I’m sorry for your loss.

Your old friend
