We lost a Great Dog, and Best Friend last night




We lost a Great Dog, 
and 
Best Friend last night

 We love you Harley!
 Harley "Bugs"
 Our best friend, our protector, Rose's knight in shining armor, guardian of boys.
Harley loved "His Boys" he was never happier than when he knew James and Jason were coming over to see him, 
Don't get in his way, he had boys to see!


Our Lab/Shepherd mix, we rescued him, maybe he rescued us, 
he certainly taught us a lot.
Harley was just 8 1/2 year old to the day, not nearly old enough.

My heart aches, I take solace in knowing you're with Magic, Coop, and Chloe now chasing those chippies till we see you again!


"Harley", "Harley Brown" just "H", and "Bugs", 
he answered to all of those names, they all fit him.


Harley was always there, always, ever watchful, that was his job! He did it well.

Harley loved paying the piles of leaves, his tail wagged as soon as you picked up the rake in anticipation.


Ready to play ball with his boys

 

Harley was the Pool boy he loved his pool, the Hose, and sprinklers were his fav's.
Harley with his boys...



He was a chaser of snowflakes, not for a particular reason other than he knew we loved to watch him do it.  

His favorite spots won't be the same, by mom on the couch where he knew he would get the best back scratch that felt so good he just has to do somersaults, by my chair, or on his love seat, or maybe the hole he dug out every year in the side yard or in my office on the floor by my side every morning.

Harley Hugs, I will miss them dearly.

Harley with new sister Hannah
He was working hard teaching his new little sister Hannah the ropes, he was teaching her the important stuff, not to bite, to slow down some, and how to bark for your dinner announcing to the whole world that 
"Dinner was on it's way"!








Somehow it just doesn't seem fair.

God I miss him so much...

  1. I'm so sorry for your family's loss! I do know the pain. Harley's mission has been passed on to Hannah, so with your love and guidance, she will be proud to carry on in Harley's paw prints (can't say "shoes" here lol). God Bless him for sharing his mission with Hannah. Pets seem to know when it's time to share the responsibilities they once carried. I'm sure he wants the love, happiness and devotion he taught Hannah, to flood your hearts and souls. Enough said....ya'll need healing time for now. I'm so sorry for your tragic loss. Linda
