Today was an extremely difficult day. Jon took Barkley to a specialist this morning hoping to find out what was wrong with him. We thought he was having an inner ear issue but the specialist told us that it was something far worse than that. We were given a few options; take him in for further tests, start treatment for the possible problem or have Barkley put to sleep. After a long day of talking, crying and spending time with him, we decided the best thing to do was put him to sleep. We didn't consider the first two options because neither of them gave a cure for Barkley's illness, just a temporary cure. Since Barkley couldn't walk, eat, drink or go to the bathroom on his own today, we had to make the hardest decision we've ever had to make. Thank you all for your love and prayers. Barkley will be truly missed but our memories with him will last a lifetime!
Love,
Jon, Renee and Hannah

I am so sorry you guys. Barkley will truly be missed. I know the kids will especially miss him if we come to visit this year. Barkley was Tyler's little buddy. We have so many fond memories of last year with Barkley, I was just looking at some of the pictures today of Tyler and Olivia helping you to give him a bath. I feel so bad for Hannah too as I know she adored him. How has Hannah been? Take care, we love you and are praying for you.
I'm really gonna miss barkley....
