I Miss You and Love You, Harley!

I'm down in Mexico for a short vacation with Grandma, but I really miss you, Harley. You are the best snuggle-bunny in the whole world.

I hope that you are doing well with Grandpa and Daisy.

I will be home soon!

Love

Sad Harley

Harley does not like when I go away. I took her to the store this morning to get Frosty Paws and other goodies for while I'm gone. She has not been wanting to eat her food, so I bought her some chicken flavored rice, Dinty Moore Beef Stew, and canned chicken.

She is acting all sad as she sees me finalizing things. I hate to see her sad. I do miss her when I'm gone.

Well, we have to leave at 2:00 a.m., so I'll be heading out early. At least I get to snuggle with my girl tonight!

Wrestless Harley

Harley did not sleep well last night at all. I know that she was having problems because she kept licking herself all night long! She also slept on top of my blanket, but I didn't have the heart to kick her off, so I slept with part of it over my head and a tiny blanket on my body, which was not warm enough.

Harley's Pal

This is Daisy, Harley's partner in crime. They have a love/hate relationship.

Harley was upset that I was taking her picture.


Harley likes to hang out while I'm on the computer.

Up and Down

Harley gets up and down all night long. I call it "stalking," but I think it's part of the dementia.

She is very restless and while she's slightly better than she was a few days ago after giving her the bladder medicine, she's still not right. Perhaps she never will be at her age and with her condition.

Today Harley seems to have a runny nose too.

I'll be leaving for Mexico on Monday and hope that Harley handles it okay. She always hates when I go away. Plus, I will be devastated if something happens to her while I'm gone.

She is my sweetheart. I will miss her while I'm gone, but I will be sure to stock up on the Frosty Paws for her.

She Takes MY Breath Away!

Poor Harley has been struggling all weekend with her breathing. Naturally, it started after the Vet's office was almost closed. I almost didn't go to work at Tommy's because I didn't want to leave her. She kept looking me with her sad eyes asking for help, and it just broke my heart. I wish that I could breathe air for her. My mom said she would monitor Harley's condition and call me if it go worse, so I did go to work.

She was so uncomfortable throughout the night, so I'm positive that it's her enlarged heart again. I really hope that there is something else that they can do. I hate seeing her like that, but at the same time, I am not ready to let her go.

Why do good things always have to come to an end?

Active Harley

Harley was acting wild tonight. She was running around like a crazy nut with Daisy. I was so worried that she was going to get hurt. You would never have guessed that she's 14 with Congestive Heart Failure! I had to literally slow them down by giving them Frosty Paws because I was worried that Harley was going to have a Heart Attack.

Not sure what gave her this boost of energy tonight, but she must be feeling a little better. Dogs are so much better than humans at dealing with pain.

I hope that the medicine continues to work for Harley and that she is with me for a long, long time. She is my crazy girl!

Feeling a Little Better???

Tonight Harley has been begging for treats, and acting more peppy. She started running around with her pink bunny like wild! I'm sure that is a sign that the medicine is helping, but it still makes me nervous because Dr. Bob ordered bed rest. I will see what he says when I call him tomorrow with an update.

$300 Poorer, But Worth It!

Harley had to go to the Vet twice this week. It cost me $300, but she's so worth it! Her heart is enlarged again, and she was given a 3rd medicine and was told to relax (no stress). I really want it to work for her because she's very healthy otherwise. The Vet (Dr. Bob, who is oh so cute) really can't believe Harley's age. He did warn me about "sudden death" however, due to her condition.

Who can ever be prepared for that? I keep telling myself that Harley is going to live to be 25, but even that is too young!

The other night I really thought she wasn't going to make it through the night. She was gasping for air and she kept moving around because she couldn't get comfortable. She also kept licking my hand and nudging me. It just broke my heart! Fortunately, that was Thursday night, and I got her in Friday morning, so hopefully, we caught it in time.
