Harley Davidson Haden 9/9/2000 - 02/01//06
Harley was put down at the local ASPCA. They did not allow us to go into the room which was probably a good thing. We hugged and kissed him goodbye and told him that we were letting him go, so he could finally feel better. We brought him home with us and Billy just finished burying him in his favorite spot under the tree that he used to sit under for shade. We removed the tree last year....but Harley never seemed to notice and still sat in that spot. It was so hard to let go. I ran back in twice to give him more kisses. As I finally walked away from him for the last time.... I told him to go and play with Sadie (My sister's dog that passed last year that he was very fond of) I also told him he could bury as many bones as his big heart desired and I would meet him again at the bridge. I know he is in a better place now, but my heart is breaking. |

Elissa -- I am so sorry for your loss. I'm all choked up and don't know what to say. Very sad news. Sweet dreams, Harley. . .  |
| Oh I'm so sorry Elissa
You did everything you could... you and your family gave him a wonderful life, and also the kindest gift you could give at the end. *hugs* |
| Oh Elissa, Harley had such opportunities with you and I just know he appreciated everything you did for him.
He looks very noble in your pic. |
| Elissa,
I avoid going to this section of the forum because it makes me so sad, and I never know what to say. I've never experienced the loss that you have and I can only imagine how painful it must be for you and your entire family. I don't know what will happen the day that I have to face what you've faced--but I hope when I do--i will do it as bravely as you have. *hugs* to you and your family. |
| Elis...I am so sorry...Please give Billy my condolences too...Harley is in a much better place now...my heart is breaking too for you guys! |
| am so sorry for your loss. I know this is a very difficult time for all of you and my thoughts are with you. |
| Elissa and Billy,
Words cannot express the emotions that someone watching this situation evolve feels right now. We all knew it was going to come to this, but it is a shock just the same. You were brave to see him through this, and he is no longer in any pain. Bless you. |
| I'm sorry too |
| To Elissa and family,
I know you're grieving terribly right now and I'm so sorry to hear of Harley's passing. The choice you made was not an easy one, but due to his illness you were brave and did what was best for him. I wish you hadn't had to go through that and take solace that Harley had some happy moments this week. In time the pain will be replaced with happy memories. My condolences to you all. Marianne and the boys |

I've wondered over the last week what was happening but didn't dare ask. I'm so sorry that this terrible moment has finally arrived. Hugs and sheepie kisses ( and maltese licks) to all of you and always remember there is nothing like the joy of puppy love to hold in your heart and remember forever. Cry the tears but remember the love and happiness that Harley brought to your lives and the great memories you will hold forever!!! Ginny Tasker & Ty |

I know all to well how you feel. My heart goes out to you and family. You did the right thing. We had to put Kassie down just under 2 yrs ago at 12 yrs of age. And we lost Fergie 3 months ago. There is no wasy to take away the pain you are in. My prayers are with you. Hugs to all of you. Deana, Richard, Flannigan and Cinde |

| Elissa,
I'm so very sorry about your loss of Harley. He was well loved by you and your family, be comforted by that. Hugs to you all. Leslie |
| My condolences to you and billy and the family. It's so sad to say goodbye, but at the same time it was the right decison. It's probably why I don't come to the section either, but Harley's story really touched me, and I just wanted to say I'm grieving with you. |
| Thank you everyone! Big hugs to all of you. You have all been such a wonderful support system for me and my family.
I hadn't responded earlier because it was just so hard for me to read your responses. I had to run to answer the phone today and usually Harley would always appear out of nowhere in front of me in the hallway, walking slowly like my Grandmother. I could never get around him and would usually miss the calls. I missed that today. Never thought I would. Also Peanut was barking at Pepsi and Harley used to HAVE to jump in and bark for the heck of it. It is very strange without him. Especially walking into Hayley's room in the morning. Harley was always right by my side to check on her. |
| Elissa, I'm so sorry for your loss! Pam |
| Oh Elissa - I just don't have any words right now. (((HUGS))) I'm sorry. |
| Oh Elissa my heart is breaking for you. You all did so well in taking care of Harley right to the end.
My thoughts are with you all during this hard time. |
| Very sorry to hear about Harley. Very sad. |
| I am so sorry for you and your family. Even though I wasn't a member I was following your situation with Harley and you did everything you could and more. He had a really good life and I remember the picture of him running in your yard. You have a HUGE heart and I am sorry it is breaking. I am really amazed at your ability to go forward. That is really to be admired. My condolences. |
Thanks Everyone 
Sorry, I kinda of abandoned this thread. I just couldn't bare to look anymore. Something happened just the other day that made me think of him. Remember the "Peanut Oil Incident" Well the stain reappeared on the couch the other day after I vacuumed the couch, where Harley had puked. When Billy & I noticed it we started laughing. I guess I have to hit it again with the Little Green Clean Machine. This requires another trip to Walmart to get more fluid 
We are trying to focus on all the happy memories of Harley. I miss kissing his BIG FACE!!  |
