In Loving Memory Of My Baby Harley Options

[harleysmama]

My dear Harley,

Hey Harley dogger...this is your mama. I just wanted to say goodbye, since I wasn't able to when you left this world. It's actually more like an "until i see you again", rather than a "goodbye"...because I WILL see you again my puppy dog. You were such a good doggy Harley...I am going to miss you so much. The past year and a half that you have been with me has been the best year and a half in my life.

I'll never forget the first day we met...You have always been 1 in a million...You were the one that stood out, tripping over your own feet and tumbling head over heels...You were such a good boy...and you always listened so well. Ever since you were just a lil thing you knew that outside was the place to go potty...well...except for that one time in the basement you sassy thing...LOL. And you got the paper for Mama and you would get my coat for me when we went for walks...such a good boy...

And who's going hog my bed now, you little stinker...oh Harley...I'm going to miss that so much. And I miss all the fun we had playing catch in the backyard, and taking walks, and playing with all your great toys that Nana and Papa spoiled you with...I will always remember how you would tuck your butt in and go sprinting through the yard, and...lol...through the house when we would let you. And how you would pretend that you couldn't hear us when we were calling you for a bath...you knew...lol...you were such a smart dog.

I wish you didn't have to go Harley...Mama's having a hard time without you. I just hope that you will always remember me and stay by my side...giving me angel dog kisses and hugs. Everyone misses you so much Harley...you touched everyone who met you...You truly are an angel...my angel.

I'll love you forever puppy dog...You take care now, and be a good boy. I know you will be. I miss you Harley...I miss you so much...

I LOVE YOU HARLEY! Rest in Peace sweet dogger...

Your mama

Hi Jill,

We got a new puppy one month after my Jake died. And for exactly the same reason you said -- the house was so quiet and lifeless without him here, we missed his happy energy, he really was the heart of our house. We felt that so strongly especially that first night after he died. In fact, my husband started looking for another english setter the very next morning.

I was more attached to Jake than he was, but I knew I didn't want to go too long without another dog. I just love dogs and what they bring into our lives. It was a little hard for me at first when we got our puppy because I was still so raw from losing Jake; I wouldn't let the puppy go into Jake's room or touch any of Jake's things. And I would catch myself saying things to the puppy that I used to say to Jake and just burst into tears.

But it's much better now, we have had him two months, and he is every bit a dog in his own right. And very cute and sweet, he gives lots of pyppy kisses and heart healing cuddles. I'll never love him like I did Jake, I still have this feeling like Jake was the love of my life, weird as that may sound (he was devoted to me and only me) but ... hard as it is, we are still here and life moves on whether we like it or not. And our new puppy, Peety, has definitely helped fill the void and absolutely fills the house with his personality, you can't prevent it! So much energy!!

So you may as well get a puppy sooner than later, I feel. If we didn't have Peety I know I would be crying about Jake every day still, it has just been 3 months. I'm still grieving for my Jakeybug and have my bad moments, but Peety has helped alot to bring some smiles back to me.
