A true friend is very hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget.
I miss my buddy even more today than yesterday but thanks to you all its easier to think of him whole and happy waiting to see his mom and dad again one day.
with love and hugs

It will continue to be hard for awhile. It’s part of that grieving process. 🙁 I would love to make it easier for everyone who has to go through this part of the journey but I can’t. I remember the feelings well.
Try writing about good memories of him. That might help a little. I know it took me a long time to be able to even go through my pictures because I would cry all the time. Then slowly the smiles replaced tears. But I still have days and it will be 3 years. I cry when others lose their babies too.

All Pets Go To Heaven
Can you imagine a heaven without pets?
There is a very special place where beloved pets go after they die. This is only a temporary location. But there are trees and grass and lakes, and everything they love. Here they can play and eat and sleep, even better than they did, before they died. Now, there are no aches or worries or dangers of any kind to trouble or threaten them. The only joy missing is their beloved human companion, you.
All health is restored completely, and all injuries are healed. Dogs and cats play with each other like youngsters, and they do not have time to feel lonely for you. They miss you, and with the special wisdom that animals have, they trust that this condition will get better. And they confidently wait as they frolic.
A wonderful day will come for each of them, when in the middle of playing they will suddenly feel something is different. And all their senses will be at the height of excitement and exuberance. They will sniff the air and look off in the distance where they recognize that dearly loved special presence. Then they will call out in elation, and with eyes shining and tail going wild, tear off at a full gallop, almost flying over the green grass.
Your expected arrival has been sensed, and now there is nothing that can keep the two of you apart, ever again. As you run toward each other the tears flow from your eyes. Your pet leaps into your arms, and you cling together in jubilant reunion. The joyous kisses are all over your face, and you kiss back, just as ecstatically. Your hands so lovingly caress once more the beloved fur, the head and neck and body you knew so well. And you look into each other’s loving eyes, and all those old, wonderful shared feelings are back, again.
And then something will call the both of you on, to a different field of warmth and nurture, where all the love you knew now comes to fruition. With your pet, you leave that special waiting area, walk into the main part of heaven, and begin a new existence there, together.
If you accept that pets can love us as much as we do them, then the logic is clear and cannot be denied. If you believe that there is a heaven for people, then they must be there, waiting for us, when we cross over. Heaven is love, and pets always share that with us.
Ohhhhh Patti, my heart just sank when I caught up on Harley’s story. My condolences to you, I can’t imagine what an awful shock this was to your pack.
You had such a great love for Harley. Never forget that the love and the memories you shared are far more powerful than life itself. They will continue on to light up your world and guide you on your earthly journey until you are reunited.
I am so so sorry.
Please know we are here for you always.
Thank you so much yes it was so shocking so unexpected for all of us. I sincerely appreciate this community so much everyone has been so supportive.
I am truly sorry for your loss of your best buddy, Harley……. You are so right when you said, true friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget…… We all definitely understand your pain, but I hope happy memories warm your aching heart 🐾
