OMG... how sad.

Run free now with your mom sweetie.

You were taken from this earth far to early.

Oh no!! I am in tears as well. I thought for sure he'd make it after the surgery. Well, we can rest easy in the fact that he is not in pain any longer and he is with his mother now too.

Tracy, I'm sorry they didn't contact you. I know it is a difficult time for them. You did so much for Lady and her pups. And I'm sure they know it.

RIP Harley

I'm so sorry, how sad.

Run and play at the Rainbow Bridge Harley.

So sorry for the loss of Harley.

Have a lovely time with your mommy sweet boy.

Know that we all loved you very much, even from afar.

Look up my dear Sami, she'd be a great pal.

That breaks my heart.

I am sure she was just afraid to tell you. Rest in peace gorgeous Harley.

Thank you everybody for your wonderful words. I really appreciate it...and I know Harley does too. I am sure Harley and Lady are looking down on all of us with wagging tails. I am not mad that I found out about Harley's passing after it happened. I just wish they would have kept up with the vet. I spoke with my vet today and found out they never brought Harley back for any check ups or called returned numerous messages from the vet. I do not know why, but they, in my opinion, did not properly care for Harley after the staples came out.the family was warned after the staples were removed that Harley was still in danger and needed weekly check up and weight reports. It just saddens me to think that this may have been prevented. Harley was just over a year old, just a pup. I know this is my anger speaking, but I feel they did not do their part for their "son". I feel responsible....I promised Lady I would take care of her pups and make sure they are safe.

I am so sorry Lady and Harley....but at least I know that you are both together and I am sure the reunion was a great one. Run, play, and jump hard. You are both free. Please know that I miss you both and that you will forever be in my heart.

I wasn`t familiar with Harley`s story so I read the thread you linked to above before I posted. What a sad tale, with what could have been a very bright outcome. I`m glad to hear that he was, however, able to at least make it through the ordeal in the first place, and was able to hold down food and make it through once the stitches were placed. How sad to hear that this story had a tragic ending.. and so young as well.

I don`t think you have let Lady down, Tracy. Not at all. I would be hurt too if I didn`t receive a call or notice for awhile, but I also know people grieve in different ways. And it seems to me that perhaps they should have brought Harley back for check-ups, but what`s done has been done. Whatever the case, Harley`s "family" seems very broken up about this, and I assume they are grieving as much as you. Hugs and prayers to all of you.

Rest in peace, Harley.

You`re finally reunited with your momma, Lady, and I`m sure you are showing her all the great tricks and things you`ve learned. I`m sure she is enjoying your company and is glad to see you again, and was probably rooting for you from the RB throughout your ordeal. And make sure not to eat that much garbage up there, sweet boy. It may not *hurt* you, but surely there`s many better tasting foods up there where you are.
