I want to be HOME!


~~~Every night in my dreams...I see you, I feel you. That is how I know you Go On...You are safe in my Heart & my Heart Will Go On~~~Near, Far, Wherever you are, you are Here in my Heart and my Heart Will Go On and On~~~

Oh Hello! I am Barnabas

Thank you kind sir, for taking me off the street. I was so scared. See, the fence blew down, and we saw a cat to chase...oh how could a dog resist? But the thunder and the wind...we got scared! My name is Barnabas. HEY! Where did Maggie go? The other dog that was with me? She is my mate! Please go get her! My mom will be worried about us. We live near by. It's not far at all!
STOP! HEY! Why are you turning here? My home is in the other direction! Where is Maggie? I need Maggie! I dont live here! Look! Read my tag! It is on my collar! Call my mom! I want my mom! She loves me. She takes care of me.
This is not my yard. This is not my house. You are making me nervous now...MAGGIE! Oh Maggie, where are you? We need to get home!
Hey! Now, I think I hear something! It's my mom's truck! YAY! I hear my mom calling me! Mister! That is my mom! MISTER! Please let me out! I want to go home!

OH! What an ORDEAL!

Why wont you take me home? Or just let me go? I dont know you. You dont know me! True you are feeding me, but this is not my bowl nor my food! I want to go HOME! I need to be HOME!
A few weeks ago, I smelled a familiar smell. I found an old toy! It was one of mine! There is another! My FAVORITE! I am sure my mom & Maggie are looking for me! I know they miss me! I miss them! I want to be with MY family!
I hear my mom calling me everyday! Why wont you let me out? Please Mister! I can hear them crying! I need to go touch noses with them! It is my job! I can make my mom laugh when she is sad! She is so sad right now! She needs my hairy face on her shoulder. I have to go home!
I need mom's hugs & kisses! She knows how I like my hair cut. She knows what I like to eat! I miss my grapes & carrots! Oh how I'd like to pick some fruit from the tree I like to nap under. But I am not near that tree. I miss my long walks. I don't get out to run like mom let me...at that park with other dogs.
I wouldn't even mind touching noses with Angelique...even though she's a cat! She is my sister. And oh what fun it was to be chased by Count Petofi! OH! That cat! He thought we were scared of him! I miss them ALL.
The other day, I saw a picture of me on the post...but now it is gone. DONT GIVE UP MOM! SOMEDAY I'LL FIND YOU! I WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH AGAIN!

Something is wrong, it has been over a year. When am I coming home? I am tired of being here! I dont smell those familiar smells or hear those familiar voices. Though I can still feel the sadness. My family is so sad. As sad as I am.

OH! How I want to be HOME!


This is me with a haircut.

The PAIN and SADNESS is Real.

I am Barnabas' mom. Barnabas was picked up on February 3,1998 by a man in a large dark car. And he is being kept from his family. Due to other life twists...I have since moved and had to reluctantly & painfully give up Maggie as well as another wonderful dog, Amie, adopted during my search for Barnabas. STILL I have not found my wonderful boy. I will not give up. Please say a prayer for my babies, that they are healthy, happy & loved by whomever has them. They KNOW they were and STILL are deeply LOVED by ME.

~~~~~ There is nothing worse than losing a member of your family. If you ever find a pet, PLEASE! Do what you can to get him /her back to the family that has lost him/her. Many people consider their pet a family member. There are people out there, with a heart I know! SOMEWHERE!
To keep someone's pet, is a SIN! There are far too many people out there who see a pure bred pet as a money maker. When they find one...well, see what has happened to me? I will never get over losing my boy! I still hold onto a hope that someday we will be reunited. I just know we will!
He got out by accident. I never let him ROAM the streets. He had TAGS! A good idea is to have your pets Microchipped & Tattooed. Not to mention SPAYED and/or Neutered.

He is a red-golden-tan color with a black saddle that reaches around his neck. A short tail, under 3" and has bad front teeth. When he disappeared he was about 65 pounds. Barnabas will be 8 this December 22nd. (2001).
Another Birthday! I've missed too many. I live in Southern California. When my boy disappeared, I was in Hawthorne.
If by some MIRACLE you think you might have information on him, PLEASE contact me: Airedalefan@webtv.net Or at HugMeNow@webtv.net

~~~Once more, you opened the door. You are safe in my Heart and My Heart Will Go On and On~~~

I am sending this angel to you Barnabas, to guide you back to ME.
Barnabas & Bruno
Barnabas & His Lady Love, Maggie

In September, 1999, these words came to me in a very vivid dream. ESP? Was he trying to reach me? I BELIEVE so. I have had many dreams about him, finding my boy purely by accident. We WILL be together AGAIN!
Some day.

I have had days where my hopes fade completely...then I read about other happy reunions. Both in the news, like the Lhasa Apso, separated from his family over 4 years ago. TOGETHER AGAIN(may/01)! And the online support groups, (to name the best) Pet Theft Support. MANY wonderful people there, dealing with the same agony of not knowing. Many other online sites & people do what they can to help.
I have had the heartwarming pleasure of reuniting a few family members, fury, feathered & shelled. Only wishing & PRAYING to be so lucky.

One last thing:
If you have EVER loved &/OR lost a pet, PLEASE...
