Loss of Our (4legged) Family Member HARLEY

Woe is me!!!  It's been a horrible week here.   I have lost a best friend on January 25, 2011. My Heart pains for my Harley. I don't think I have cried this hard in a very long time. We had to make the decision to send him to the "Rainbow Bridge". What a horrible decision to have to make. But it's better then him suffering here for our benefit.   So now he is with my Mom and Day who loved him very much. I'm still struggling with this decision, why. I prayed hard for the strength to be able to except out decision and if this was the right thing to do.....

 Then I spoke to my friend and she said to Blog about it this would help also!!! This is a picture of my "Prick Ear" Buddy in Better times. What a beautiful warm face and beautiful big brown eyes!! Now on to the qualities that make him special:

Believe it or not he always smelled like Powered Grape stuff. Just his head. We use to call him  "Grape Ape".

He had soft fuzzy Prick ears that felt like velvet.

He loved everybody and greeted everybody the same human or not. And loved other animals.

He was a very vocal family member. And he never licked, don't know why just didn't he would sniff you and snort on you and that meant you were part of his family :)

His place was on the couch on one of the pillows, like princess and the pea.

The only bad thing is We let him sleep in our "BED" don't do that, it's like sleeping with a cow in your bed.

He protected his yard from the "SQ's" we couldn't say Squirrel in the house he went ballistic, where, where...

He was larger then life and was a beautiful addition to our family. Our other member "Gracie" is grieving  and looks for him in and around the house and outside. It is super quiet here. We have beautiful memories and nice pictures of our buddy. He will always hold a place in our hearts and just maybe we'll see each other again.
I love you Harley and Thank You for making our lives and my life a little easier to bare some days!!!! Goodbye ole' buddy and love from your  Human Keeper and Caretaker...Joyce
