KingZA Posted April 6, 2017 Share For all those that could not make the Memorial ride last week, i made a short video of the ride(apologies for the quality) Shew, I've been purposely avoiding this tread for many weeks now but visited again tonight. This video and the the way everybody has responded in support of our fallen comrade, his family or the doggies has literally put a lump in my throat and a tear streaming down my cheek (probably for the third time already). All I can say now is thank you to everybody who's helped in any way, shape or form. May Barry ride in peace. Nancy Drew and ADJ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngala24 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Squamish is such a loveable dog, he has fitted in with my other 2 without any hitch. one of which is actually his sister, Bella from the same litterI remember the day we took Barry to get the pup and he came home with two, he had a grin from ear to ear This dog absolutely loves tennis balls, on about his 3rd in 4 days.Going to have to start a hub fund to support his ball addiction, he doesn't go anywhere without one Its incredible how he gets around on 3 legs, legend like Barry Long Wheel Base, Ed-Zulu, Red Robin and 35 others 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Drew Posted April 21, 2017 Share Well, for what it's worth, Scar is settling in very well and has found his new BFF in my teenage son. I sometimes look at him and wonder if he understands what has happened and where his human went to, but he seems to like his new humans, so I think he'll be ok WaynejG, Wannabe, Red Robin and 26 others 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Brown Posted April 21, 2017 Share Mates of mine adopted Ghost, the cross Husky/Chow from Barry's eclectic fur-child collection, and when we had a braai there on Monday, he was perfectly settled in (minus his crown jewels, the poor oke!) and seemed to be enjoying his new life. He only has 2 foxy's to play with now, so he may pick up some weight now Seeing Ghost happy and settled somehow helps with the cathartic process of dealing with the passing of the B.Have a lekker weekend everyone RocknRolla, Joe Low, Red Robin and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-Zulu Posted April 21, 2017 Share Barry was a bit of a legend with my boys too. I told them the story of Tumbleweed dying and how Ghost showed up mysteriously on his doorstep after a storm. The kids were in awe wanting to see photo's etc, they thought I sucked that right out my thumb. They ask every so often about Ghost and Ruby and Scar and my little oke often asks me to tell the story of Ghosts arrival. No, I haven't told them about the final chapter in Barry's life, will have to wait for them to ask and then show them the pictures of where Barry's friends are in life now!

Nancy Drew Posted April 24, 2017 Share That dog looks so naughty.You are very brave to take him in.Well done Thanks, he's a bundle of energy and can be overwhelmingly boisterous, but I can't remember what life was like a couple of weeks ago when he wasn't a part of it. I think if the roles were reversed Barry would've taken my animals in... ok, maybe not the cats Red Robin, Wannabe, Tubehunter and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
