<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=4>It's with much sadness and a heavy
heart that I tell you we had to send Barney The Beagle to the Bridge
today. Some of you may remember Barney as my Jake's best
friend. I use to call him the Beagle From Hell as a
joke. He has been failing badly the last few days. He
has been losing weight and a few days ago he stopped eating and became very
despondent barely able to walk to the door. He left for the
Bridge at the Ringtown Vet. Clinic at 11am on 1/3/09. Our
house will not be the same without the little guy. He gave us 14
wonderful years for which we are very thankful and we will never forget
him. He is now resting at peace at the Bridge with his best
friend Jake (2/24/93 to 4/9/05.) He has taken a piece of our
hearts with him and we will miss him very much. Rest in peace
Barney. </FONT></DIV>
