Oh, Aly, that pic of him up to his arm pits in water is so cute. I alway thought it would be fun to buy one of those wading pools for my dogs, but none of mine want anything to do with water.
He's half way there now. I think you just have to trust this foster mom to make sure he will have a happy loving home. How are you doing? At least as good as he is I hope http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif In other words....be happy!
The pics are beautiful Aly. And so is Harley. I think they will do everything possible to be certain he is in the BEST home!! I hope you are holding up as well as possible. I think of you so often.
Beautiful pictures of Harley, he looks like he is having a good time. Nice of his foster Mom to send them to you.
I've been doing better holding myself together in public. At night it seems to be the hardest because I live alone and have a lot of time to think. Reece and Shiloh do help but they've been so lazy recently, all they want to do is sleep. It must be the hot weather. It was pretty hard on me getting those pictures of Harley today though. I am so nervous because he'll have to fly on a plane to get to his new home. I am also nervous because I won't know the people he's going to. I've been spending extra time at the shelter helping the dogs there because that makes me feel better. I'm getting sooooo attached to a lot of them though. I love getting to know them and spending a lot of time with the dogs who have been there for awhile but at the same time it breaks my heart that people come in only wanting puppies or purebreds and these perfectly wonderful dogs are ignored constantly. I don't have anything against people getting puppies but when that's ALL they'll even consider, I get a little upset. Its funny when people come in wanting "a dog who doesn't shed, bark, have accidents in the house, chew, jump, .." and we tell them we have the perfect one for them and lead them to the beanie baby shelf, hehe. Opps, I just got way off topic. Back to Harley, I miss him to death but I am using this whole experience to help other people too. I've directed a few people to this board in similar situations. I hope they check it for the sake of their animals' safety and happiness.
Thanks all for checking on me. You have all helped so much.

Aly, I was just thinking of you yesterday, and was going to ask if you had heard from Harley's foster mom, so it was great to see these pictures. It seems like he is going to be fine. Hope we can say the same for you! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif How are Shiloh and Reece doing these days without Harley? Does Reece seem to miss him? I guess Shiloh doesn't. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
Good to hear that Harley is fine in his foster home. Glad to hear you're hangin' in there.
Aly,
I know you miss Harley terribly, but you have done such a good thing for all of you, and he looks wonderful in the pictures! You'll heal, slowly, but surely, and Reece and Shiloh are there to help you through it!
My thoughts are with you.

Pam, Shiloh misses Harley about as much as she misses the vet who spayed her http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Reece has seemed to miss Harley. He prefers playing with dogs. It takes all my energy to get him to play with me. He will do it sometimes but he mostly just likes to sleep on my lap. I would take him back to doggy day care but he'll only play with a dog if I'm there. When I'm not around, all he'll do is yelp and look for me. I have a feeling I'll be dealing with this seperation anxiety for a long time since he has it so bad. Its gotten a lot better now though. I can actually close the bathroom door once in awhile. Its funny when I open it and see Reece and Shiloh sitting there waiting. I should take a picture of that sometime.
