My Sheltie angel Harley

[Darren]

I don't think you ever get over the lost of a companion. I had a cat years ago who took me through some very dark times, she was always with me, shortly after I met my husband, we had to say good-bye to her. It broke my heart and I always felt she hung on until she knew I had someone. Each companion, pet soul-mate, leaves a hole in your heart but thank goodness our hearts always seem to be able to grow and expand and give/accept love again!

Your Harley was beautiful! And I hope your new little guy gives you as much comfort and pleasure.

I'm sure they do know and try to hold on until were 'ready'. I'm glad she helped you get through hard times, animals really are such special things. Little Monty is certainly making it easier for me to open up my heart again haha.

Lost my very special girl Brooke to cancer in May, so I feel your pain. What a blessing though to have had him for 15 years, and during a period you most needed him. Rest in peace darling Harley. And bless you Darren for opening up your heart to a new Sheltie.

I'm so sorry to hear about Brooke
Harley was like a guardian angel sent when I needed him most in life so I couldn't have asked for more. Hopefully now I can prove worthy of looking after my new little Sheltie!

How incredibly blessed Harley was to have been so dearly loved for his time here on earth. Losing such a wonderful soul is devastating and the "missing" never does go away, but I hope all the precious memories that Harley left behind will help you find some peace and comfort.

Thank you so much Trini. I was blessed to have him in my life when I needed him most and he gave me 15yrs of happy memories so I'm trying to focus on that. I've also now got my little Monty which is helping so much as it seems like destiny that he arrived when we both needed each other most haha.

I am so sorry for your loss. We lost our Elliot last summer after 15 years. It is heartbreaking. Cherish the memories.

I’m so sorry you him. What a gorgeous boy! I like the flower in his fur pic, such a good sport but Shelties usually are. We lost our beloved boy Forrest to lymphoma almost a year ago and it’s like he’s still here sometimes, the mark they leave on our hearts is incredible.

Isn’t it funny, they can’t talk but when we need them to listen, to really hear us, they really do? Harley was honored to be by your side, during the dark days as well as the light days. It’s the Sheltie way.

I just wanted to leave a little something fo Harley on here who I lost at 15yrs old.
Harley was an amazing boy, he was my companion, my therapist, a babysitter for the children and my best friend. He loved his walks, food and laying outside with me while I worked on the car, he didn't care what we did as long as it was together.
I went through a few dark years and I really couldn't have got to the otherside without him by my side. At his age I knew we wouldn't have long left together but it still came as a shock when after going off his food one morning the vet said he had aggressive cancer. I was told best case would be 2 to 4 weeks before I would have to make a decision. I'm sure Harley knew I wasn't ready as he fought and kept his quality of life for a further 24 weeks! Then one morning I could see in his face he was ready and it was time to let go. That day still breaks my heart and I struggle sometimes without him but adpoting my new little Sheltie has really helped focus my thoughts a little and I know he would have wanted me to help a dog in need.

Thank you so much for everything Harley, rest easy lil guy!

Thank yo so much, he was so chilled out, the kids could do anything with him and he loved it, even if it lowered his style like putting a flower his hair haha.
I'm so sorry to hear about Forrest . I know exactly what you mean, there's times it just feels like Harley is still around. You are so right, they may not be able to talk back but they listen and it's as if they understand and try to fix things best they can. Dogs are such a blessing and all you have to do is care for them and they will give you everything they have, for life!!

Thank you for that Karen, I appreciate it.
