First, a little history before I tell you of Barney’s adventures here in Maine with me….
Barney came from the ‘founding tripawd’ – Jerry. Jerry is now Spirit Jerry but the wonderous Tripawds community is still going strong and helping all those pawrents that struggle through amputation surgery, recovery and all that goes with having cancer as well. Jerry had a fettish for Barney stuffed toys…his pawrents would pick them up anywhere they saw them, as Jerry just loved that foolish purple dinosaur! So, one of Spirit Jerry’s Barney’s has gone on a Killbarney Tour(no, Mom wouldn’t let me kill him!!! argh!) – he came to Maine from Maggie the Pug in CA! I share a special bond with Maggie the Pug – obviously she has the same GREAT name as me but she is also a left rear amp tripawd! Maggie the Pug, sent along with Barney for his visit to Maine a coat! And man, did he ever need it 🙂 As it’s winter here in Maine!
Here’s me meeting Barney for the first time:
