Farewell, Purple Squirt!
It is with mixed emotions that we say “Auvoir” and “Fare Thee Well” to Barney.
(Truthfully, Mom is not even sure if “Auvoir” is a real word. She took Spanish in high school.)
But we do know we will miss His Purpleness. Our time with Barney passed too quickly, she says. Even though the point of the Kill Barney Tour is to rough the little guy up and take out our frustration and aggression on his bad self….we will still miss him.
Mom says what Barney ultimately brought to our lives was so much love and kindness and caring that it is hard to even describe. Every day, we log on to Tripawds.com and we catch up on the latest news.
Which of our pups has recently learned that it is better to hop on 3 than limp on 4?
Which of our pups is getting a new and totally awesome harness or chariot?
Which of our pups is in the battle of their life… and winning?
And with aching hearts, which of our pups has recently earned their spirit/angel wings?
There is no day that passes without tears of grief and/or hope in our house.
Mom spent one last night combing through the Barney Box. She wanted to hold and smell each momento one last time so she could remember all the Warriors. Tonight, Barney waits on the front porch for his ride to his next stop.
Goodbye Dino Boy and always remember….TRIPAWDS RULE!!!

My hubby (whose first language is French) always says that all dogs know French. I guess it must be true since Miss Pegz knows it, even though her mama doesn’t!
Is he gonna have to wait outside over night. That would serve the Little Stinker (and I mean that quite literally…) right!
Adios, Barney!
Can’t wait to see where he turns up next.

I’ve been sweating bullets over here that Barney would not drive your family apart or to the loony bin! You already know my Woman had some intense feelings about that box of good stuff. It’s nice to know others also found it inspiring. I don’t have a clue what that word means, but I was told to write it. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the little purple turd and I’m glad you survived it. Too bad he did, too.
Love, Dakota
Ooooooh Angel Abby and Dakota…you make my momma giggle!!
Barney is on to his next victim, sorry, I mean adventure. Well done Miss Pegz for hosting the little purple beastie. There certainly is so much love jam packed in that box!!
Hugs and wags
Joanne & Lylee
Look like it was a great time…that lil purple monster, I mean dinosaur might be sad to go!
Bone Voyahgee, purple dino… Hopefully the UPS guy doesn’t drop kick you… Can’t wait to see where you (and Rio’s special Elmer Fudd shirt) land next.

Wow, the purple nemesis lives another day! Well, I’m sure he’ll get what’s coming to him someday. Pegs, girlfriend I don’t blame you for not liking Barney. Tell Chaz (from one lab to another) for me hi. We monkeybutt black labs don’t seem to get enough attention around here.
Love, Aspen

We’re sure a fun time was had by all, and it doesn’t look like much damage was done. That Pegz is one polite Tripawd Warrior Princess!
On to his next stop on the KillBarney Tour! Thanks for playing along. (Be sure to secretly let that admin guy know where the little purple beast is headed so he can follow up if necessary.)
Well you gave that little beast the best time EVER, thank you guys. It was so fun watching your adventures!
