Ms Harlow


We lost Harlow today. She had a bath 2 days ago. Went in to get her tummy drained and came home and she quickly deteriorated. Lots of losses lately - none are easy and weighs heavily on you. Life is not always fair.

May Harlow run free and happy across the rainbow bridge - she was loved and pampered by Nathan and you and she knew it and was content and comforted by that love. It’s very tough, but hope her memories give you strength

I’m so very sorry to hear about Harlow’s passing. No matter their age, health or circumstances, losing them is so very sad! 😢
I’m behind on the pups as didn’t realize Harlow was yours & thought she was a visitor.

She was not my breeding nor my dog but she lived here and has for quite sometime. Her human dad has parkinsons and would visit her frequently as it was impossible to get meds in to her for him. I was friends with his late wife. We talked dogs a lot. So David did the unselfish thing and had her stay here so she got her meds in and later on she got her tummy drained regularly. It had to be very hard on him to do that but he did come in and share cheeseburgers with her. She looked forward to those visits and to be honest so did I.

You can't have a dog live with you and not fall deeply for them and I did. She was a funny, quirky being who loved hunting the rabbits but never hurting them.

She died here surrounded by the dogs and us. I whispered in her ear - your daddy loves you. She looked at me so I knew she heard me.

Luckily he had a really special visit with her recently.

Thx for filling us in on Harlow’s background. Glad she lived her life to the fullest till her last day! 🌈🐾

I'm so sorry to hear of Harlow's passing. You gave her love and comfort, everything a dog could want. God bless you.

Oh, I am so sorry about Harlow's passing, I must have missed this post.
When you mentioned she was staying at your place, with her daddy's visits and her scheduled drains, I watched for her daily updates, so worried about her honestly.
Dear Harlow, no more pain for you anymore, just fun times chasing the rabbits, forever.
So sorry for you too, Darlah, Nathan and Dennis. And to her daddy David, my deepest condolences.

Thank you. She would have loved the snow today.

She has been living with us fulltime for quite sometime. Her daddy always came in to see her and she was ever so excited each time to see him. It was true selflessness of him to care more about her needs than his own. She had a very special visit this last time he came. He took her out for her fave meal. She was so excited. Who knew days later she would be no more.

You know she ate well. She always perked up after draining. This was the 1st time she didn't. I miss her barking for her breakfast.
