to think that a fuzzys life is so short as it is and
tragic when it ends so suddenly. you and your family
will be in my prayers. i guess i'm at a loss for words
i feel so bad. please don't give up on surgeries.
barney had exploratory surgery when he was 6 months
old (i stepped on him and bruised his stomach) now
he's 7 and needs surgery again but his health is too
bad. if he was healthier he would be on the operating
table already. please hang in there and keep us posted
on how the autoposy went. gods blessings barney and
mom
