I know I have not posted on PT in a really long time, and I am sorry. I hate to have this be my first returning post, but I wanted to share this with all of you. This saddens me so much. As many of you know the story of Harley, but for those that don't you can see the thread here.

I have not heard from the family since May. I have been trying to get a hold of them, I have called, sent emails, and even went there, but no luck. I finally sent another email today only to find out this:

Oh Tracy -- I'm crying as I'm typing you this email, as he died a couple of weeks ago. Al and I feel horrible that we haven't contacted you, but we've had alot of personal problems, as well as dealing with losing him. He seemed to be doing okay, but not really gaining weight as much as we would've liked. It was a couple of Thursday's ago he was throwing up and we really didn't think nothing of it, thinking he maybe ate some grass or something outside. He seemed really tired that night and I put him in his cage and on Friday morning when Al got home from work and went to take him out, he was gone. The girls and us have been really having a hard time with it and find it very difficult to talk about, still, 2 weeks later. Thank God for Al's parents, as they let us bury him in their backyard and we are literally at their house every day!! His mom ordered a stone for him and the girls throw flowers where he's buried when they are at the house. It's very sad, but he just wasn't the same dog after that surgery. I so appreciate all the help that Scottsdale gave him and yes, we are focusing on paying them some monies within this upcoming week. We feel bad about that.

So, I hate to tell you this in an email, but we have a really hard time talking about it. Molly and Reba definitely know he's gone as we put away his cage and they lay where his cage used to be. We have alot of fond memories of Harley and we miss him tremendously!!

I just wish she would have called me. I would have wanted to be there when they buried him. He was such a great dog and I will miss him dearly.

Harley, please say hello to your mama for me and tell her i am sorry for all you both endured. I love you both.

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
