Bad Ending to a Bad Week


Yesterday was a sad day for us, and a very bad ending to our already bad week. Our cute little dog Harley that we have had for 8 years passed away yesterday early morning. He has been very sick for a while, but this past week with us being gone I think just pushed him over the edge. I don't think you ever realize how attached you are to your animals until you see them go. TJ and I both broke down, he has been a part of our family since just after we were married. The hardest part of it all was trying to explain to Taylor what had happened. She is old enough to know kind of what is going on, and with Addie being in the hospital all week she was already a little traumatized from that. It was a conversation we did not want to have with her right now. She seems okay, but she was attached to him since she has had 5 years to spend with him. Here are some pics of our cute little pup Harley. We will miss him so much being part of our family, but know that he is in a much better place now. Love ya Har!!
This is how he always used to sleep. So cute and funny!
Harley LOVED going to the cabin with us. Especially during the winter when he could go sledding down the hills with us. It was one of his favorite things.
Harley with baby Taylor. They have been best buddies since she was born.
Harley also LOVED Christmas. He always new it was coming when he saw his stocking. I am not sure if he really loved this hat, but he always had a smile on his face like he did.
Har with his Christmas Toys. Got to love this cute little dog.
