Barkley's Blankies
Blankets for dogs with cancer, in memory of my sweet Barkley. Distributed through the Live Like Roo Foundation. I'm Amanda, Barkley's mama.
Barkley is a very special doxie. He was mine and he died of nasal adenocarcinoma, an awful cancer in his snout. To deal with my grief and honor his memory, I decided to start making blankets for dogs with cancer (Barkley LOVED blankets). I decided that rather than distribute these special blankets myself, I would send them to the Live Like Roo Foundation to be sent in their doggy cancer care packa

We sent a blankie to Trouble all the way up in Alaska! We hope she can feel the love while she fights this cancer 💜💜💜 thanks to her family for letting us share this precious photo!

We have had a rough Thanksgiving week this year. Lexey (Barkley’s little sister) took a turn Monday night, and we let her go Tuesday morning. She lived to see her Sweet Sixteen this year, and for the last year and a half had been fighting doggy dementia and kidney disease. She leaves behind a younger brother Brinkley and a huge hole in my heart 💔

Are you all in your local Buy Nothing group? If not, I recommend checking it out. This week I came across a post of a fellow member whose dog has a nasal tumor 😓 I reached out to offer a blankie, and her baby is currently undergoing chemo and I’m hoping they get really good results 💜 it’s been a rough week with Brinkley being sick (he’s doing much better now!), and it’s always hard to learn of nasal tumors, but I always love making these blankies in honor of my sweet Barkley who has been gone seven years now.

Thanks to a generous donation from my friend and follower Diane, I was able to make myself this gorgeous holiday rag quilt! My mom and I worked on it together while I was home for Christmas. Let’s be honest though, my sausage dogs will likely confiscate it as soon as they try it out! 😅 Thank you Diane!!

Welcome to our new followers! We're really glad to have you 🤗 Last week I received a request for a blankie for a doxie with nasal cancer. As you can imagine it hit home especially hard, but I used this perfect print for him. He should be receiving it this week, and if his mom sends me a photo I'll be sure to share 💜💜💜
