Harley would have been 5 today
My Harley Dude would have been 5 years old today, but 4 weeks (less a day) ago, he was taken from me, much, much too early. So, Happy Birthday Dude... As you can tell, I am still crying over my poor sweet Harley, hopefully this will lessen as the days go by....
******************************* Hello. I've been expecting you for quite some time. Here, come sit beside us for awhile . and let me tell you about this old friend of mine. He might look tattered or maybe old But I won't say goodbye until you've been told. He had the brightest eyes I had ever seen, And wore a beautiful fur coat that would out shine a queen . He was never prissy but walked with an aire ...... And oh so polite, you could take him most anywhere. He could run like the wind and could catch anything he chased But he protected and sat with me when I had problems to face. You could not find a friend nearly so dear. Because no matter the trouble he always stayed near... He has never asked for much from me; Just to love and respect him and I think you'll agree . To give him a good meal plus a nice warm bed is not much to ask ; When he has given me all his love and to him this was no task. Now I understand you have a schedule to keep. But I have a small favor before he nods off to sleep. Please fold your wings around him and let him feel young while in no pain ; Dear Guardian Angel of Pets , please keep him safe and happy until I see him again. by: Ginger Patton

Harley was so well-loved. He would want you to do something special for yourself on his birthday. Be gentle with yourself ~ it's okay to cry over your loss.

I know your pain, I still am crying over my sweet Shade girl too. Keep your head up, you will get through this and be stronger in the end. That is what I tell myself every morning when I wake up without her.
RIP Harley

Oh I'm so sad for you. 5 years is way too soon. (We only got to love Joey for 5 years and it seemd like 5 months.)
Take good care of yourself and of Buster. I'm sure he's missing his buddy. Big to you both !! |

I'm so sorry that you lost Harley at such a young age. My Persian cat, Blitzen, went to the rainbow bridge right before his 2nd birthday in 2003 and it was heart wrenching. He was my best friend and it was so incredibly unfair that he was taken away so young. He deserved to live a long and healthy life. Over time the pain does lessen. It never totally goes away, but the hole in your heart heals over. I think Harley and Blitzen are waiting at the rainbow bridge for us and someday we'll see them again.

Busterboo, As others have said the pain does lessen over time but I will attest your love for Mr Harley Dude will live on in your heart. My Romeo was taken away from me after 16 years and now two years later the pain is still there in my heart. Remember the memories that you have of him.

You know what? I still cry over Sophie. Late night before I go to bed is the hardest. It has been over a year now and I still relive her last few moments on this earth. I was holding her. So, I try to think of funny things she did. Harley is missed and not forgotten. How could you ever forget a little soul who loved you so much? I hope you find peace and that your grief lessens everyday. from my house

Thanks everyone for your kind words.
It is two months today that Harley went to the Bridge and I am still crying. Nights are the hardest......I keep "feeling" his seizure that he had on the bed. Some nights I sleep on the sofa so it isn't as bad.

I know your pain I like to think that Harley and Shade are playing together and watching over us. It still hasn't gotten any easier for me either. Keep your chin up and we can both get through this
