Barnaby

Barnaby came to us on September 24, 2017 from Tri State as Hudson, a shy, skittish little boy. He quickly become part of the pack, and grew as attached to us as we became of him. Of the many bassets that were adopted from Tri State, he holds a special place in my heart. He was a beautiful boy in many ways, “both physically and in his demeanor,” as his pet sitter has remarked and he will be remembered always by all whose hearts he touched.

He was a gentle sole, yet strong. He endured much in his life, more than any basset should, from bloat, glaucoma, colon torsion, megaesophagus and blindness in his final year, but he never gave up: he adjusted and adapted and continued to show us his love, and we all are grateful for that. His eye doctor called him the Miracle Dog. Unfortunately, for us both this past Thanksgiving morning there was one final miracle he couldn’t pull off. On November 28 he passed at 16 years and 3 months. We all will miss terribly his sweet presence in our home. We all love you, Barnaby. Rest well.
