Sleep well my little Harley

[Kristin]

Thank you everyone. It was so hard to make that decision yesterday but I knew I had to do it. I didn't want him to suffer. I told him how much I loved him yesterday as we were driving to the vets and gave him lots of cuddles. I just wished I could have given him more. I did promise him so much after his little ordeal but he wont be around to see it. Im going to do it for Munchkin still.

I do remember the vet being startled with how bright he looked while out on the examination table. His eyes were bright and he was busy sniffing what was around him. But since he had been chewing at it there was no way he would have been safe.
It broke my heart to have to say goodbye

My husband brought him for me in January as I had wanted a hamster for a while before then. He was the only one in his cage and it was love at first sight. Harley helped me every time my husband, well Fiance back then, went away back to camp. He made me smile and laugh when I ever I cried and we always enjoyed our little snuggle sessions during the evening.

He's a rest now and I will always remember him for that lovable little man who always perked up whenever he saw us coming.

Now I'm in tears again :'(

*hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about Harley. He was very special and I know you didn't have him for as long as you wished but you loved him all the same.

Hope you and Munchkin will be okay. I'll tell Rin to take care of him at the bridge. xx

Thank you LRP
He was and always will be my special little guy.

Sam got Munchkin out after we had buried Harley and she gave me a little kiss. She is such a sweet little girl but has a typical teenage attitude. She devours everything and I mean everything. Toys are destroyed in one night and toilet tubes don't stand a chance. We're moving her into the ZZ2 today as she needs a bigger home and I don't want that cage to be put to no use. Its going to be hard because everything is how Harley left it yesterday before the vets but I know it has to be done. I love Munchkin and want the best for her too.

I'm planning to get a stone slab to place over Harley's little grave with a pretty potted flower to sit on top. Sam and I are going to look into it very soon

I love your story of Harley, and I know he will live on bright in your memories. He was well-loved and had a good life with you. Play well over the bridge, little one.

I`ve just seen this kristin having not been on the forum much and it saddened me greatly. I know how much you loved wee Harley and it`s tragic that you lost him so young. They capture out hearts so much. It`s never easy to let them go. A rectal prolapse can happen in mice too and although they can be pushed back in, sometimes complications arise and you never truly know whether it`s the best thing to do for them or not.

Rest in peace little Harley. You will be missed on here. x

Thank you for all your kind words everyone. Its still hard and I do keep thinking about him. It's just really hard to get used to the fact that he is up in Rainbow Bridge and still not in his cage. I did feel my heart leap when I went over to his cage yesterday. I really did think he was still in there

I'm getting a lot better though. Every evening, when I water the flowers, I go over and say hello while water the flower on his spot. I know it sounds silly but it does make me feel better

A bit late to arrive to this thread Rest in peace, Harley. I'm glad you have the loving support of Sam and Munchkin; I'm certain Harley wouldn't have wanted it any other way!
