We will Miss you Harley...

For you that don't know my world, I am an animal lover. I have always had pets of one kind or other-from hamsters to emus . I even had a bull calf that thought he was a dog! But my heart is the softest for dogs. They seem to touch me; maybe because they trust us so much. My dogs as an adult have mostly been dachshunds(weenie dogs). When my first one, Bonnie was getting old, and my other one, Patsy was going to be left alone soon, I decided to get Patsy her own dog! So I went and got a little applehead chihuahua. So tiny, with BIG bat ears, marked like a doberman. Harley. He was a funny looking little man. Walked kinda like a girafffe. I know...appleheads don't have long legs! But someone forgot to tell him that. He did NOT like dark haired men, except for family members. Others got the high pitched bark as he shot past them...maybe peeing a little as he went. Not a very social dog; or a cuddler. But he liked certain girls...ALOT. First my friend Tammy that lived with us for a time:Now SHE could practically hypnotize him! Then Nina would talk to "her little man". He would dance around for canned food or leftovers, but that was about the only thing he got excited over. Expect maybe Rachals dog Dixie. Even tho he was neutered, he felt an obligation when she was in heat! He never liked going outside and shivered in his bed always. His teeth had all fallen out over the last year, but he actually gained weight,due to the canned food we gave him. He ate twice a day because his Daddy Mike made sure he got HIS every morning and night. But today he really didn't want to go out, after not eating any of his food. But it was a beautiful day, and the sun was shining. I went to work and came home to see him laying in the grass in a patch of sunlight coming thru the trees. But he didn't jump up to greet me when I opened the back door. No "LET ME IN" bodyslam on the door.

We hope you enjoyed your time here with us as much as we did. We loved you - stinky little man that you were-and you will be missed. Della and Patsy are girls at large now. No Harley to nip at the girls.
