Goodby to Barklee

As everyone knows by now, Barklee has passed on and is now in a better place. He did not give any signs that he was in pain or ready to cross over.Wednesday October 21st was like any other day. Eric and I went to work and Tyler went to school. Once we got home I fed all 3 dogs (Barklee, Clyde and Cookie). When 7:00 pm comes around it is the time for treats..so cookie got her puperoni stick and Barklee and Clyde rec'd their treats. Barklee love the Marrow treats and he barked for them every day. It was almost 9:00 pm and I noticed that Barklee was on the couch sleeping on his back like he usually does and I asked him if he wanted to sleep with Tyler. He wasn't much for getting up at that time so I just told him goodnight and that I would see him in the morning. Barklee and Clyde are always whining in the morning for me to get up and get them their morning treats. Eric was still home when i walked out into the kitchen and put Cookie outside and asked where was Barklee. I walked back to our bedroom and noticed that Barklee was still sleeping. I went over to him and touched him and noticed that he was cold. I ran out and told Eric that Barklee was gone. I show my emotions more than Eric does, but I knew he was hurting inside. We all loved Barklee and will miss him terribly. We are having him cremated like we did Sadie.Here are some pictures of him for everyone to remember him.
