I am so sorry about what is happening to poor Harley. I have lost 2 dogs that I was very close to and i feel your pain. The good thing is you can always get a new dog which will never replace him but at least you can fill the empty space in your heart and love another dog that needs a mom and dad. My condolences to you, stay strong. -A.D.

Thank-you so much for that. I am happy to day Harley is still with us. He is very weak and we know that the time will come soon where we have to send him to his Eternal Home but we are trying to enjoy as much time that we have left with him.

I write this update with a very heavy heart…our Little Harley lost his battle with lymphoma on 10/12/14 at 7:15pm. He was at home with my husband & I when it happened. He went quickly. Although I have peace in knowing that he is not suffering anymore, a piece of my heart left with him yesterday. Now I can only pray for strength to get through this very difficult time. To my Beloved Harley.. you brought us so much love & joy over the past 3 1/2 yrs. I Thank God everyday for allowing me to be your mommy..even if it was only for a short time. Rest in Peace my sweet angel.

I understand your loss so very much and I grieve for you both. Some people do not understand how we become so attached to animals, especially those that share our homes. They are the children who must be cared for all their lives because our own leave us to follow their paths. Not having had any children, you have centred your love on one tiny, little helpless baby. I feel so much compassion for you. I have not lost any of my children or grandchildren or great grandchildren but I have lost animals, the grieving is comparable. Of all the ones I have lost, my small shitzu and my black persian were the hardest to bear. They had integrated themselves in my life so very much. When the day arrives that I lose my Poms Crystal and Emily, my heart will break as yours is doing. I find that the best remedy for this and this is when you feel you are ready is to purchase another one. Not the same colour because this puppy has to be an individual and not a copy of the one you lost. This new one will make his way into your heart but not take your little ones place. You will be able to eventually cope with this in no time. Not having another one will only cause you to sit and think of the one you lost. I could never buy another shitzu because I was afraid that he would not live up to my expectations, therefore I went for another breed entirely and a different colour.
When it is time for Crystal and Emily to leave me, I shall purchase more Poms but not red ones. They will have their place in my valley of tears and I will never forget them as I have not any previous animals I have lost but for my own peace of mind I will have new babies that need my help to grow and survive in this world. This will be your peace and you will love this new one as much as you loved your lost one. You can bet on it!

I really appreciate your post….means so much to me. My husband & I are already thinking about getting another dog. There is no replacement for our little Harley….he was truly an angel & a one of a kind dog…but we feel that getting another dog to love on and for him to show us love will help ease the pain of the loss. One of my friends breeds Westipoos (part West Highland Terrier & part Poodle) and they just had a litter 3 weeks ago so we may take the littlest boy (the runt) of the litter. He is adorable! He is white (like Harley) but he will look different as he will have a different face shape, wars & hair type…mixed with the poodle he will have curlier hair where Harley had straight to wavy hair. They will be about the same size, which is good because we already have Maddie and she is a large dog & she is such a “momma” that she can love on this little guy as if it was her own. We get to meet this little fella next week & if we do decide to get him, we can have him right after Thanksgiving after he is done nursing. I will post if we do end up getting this little love. Thanks again for your kind words…..it means a great deal to me.
