    Harley went to heaven yesterday

    Our loving and loyal rescue lab "Harley Davidson" went to heaven yesterday. Just one week ago, he was diagnosed with CHF. The vet put him on Lasix and Hill's C/A diet. I slept by his side for 5 nights. He seemed to be doing better this past weekend, but yesterday morning he started panting heavily - eyes large -tongue to the side. We rushed him to the local vet. Before the first injection to put him under as if he was having surgery and before second fatal shot could be administered, he died. I must tell you this was the worst sight I have ever witnessed and pray that no one has to go through this agony. We rescued Harley when he was less than a year old (starved, skinny, and full of hookworms). He first was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which he received successful treatment for. He then had one TPO on 1 knee and one year later, same surgery on the other. I am grateful for the fact that Harley lived 11 years and received all the love and attention we could give him. He repaid me and my family 1000 fold in return. Please pray for me and my family has we deal with this loss and the traumatic event that occurred yesterday. The last thing we would have ever wanted was for Harley to suffer.

    I am in tears just reading your post...I am so sorry for the loss of your precious Harley.

    I am very sorry that you had to go through this traumatic experience..don't we all wish that our
    pets would just die in their sleep while they rest comfortably? No one wants to go through this.

    Please remember how you rescued him and the wonderful home you gave him...remember all the joy and
    happiness he gave you and your family.

    I am so sorry for your loss...and may Harley forever run free...

    Godspeed Harley...
