A Tribute to Harley’s Gramma

Besides Dan and I, there is only one person who spent a great amount of time with Harley … and that was his “Gramma Carole” (Rudi’s mom). She was Harley’s doggie-sitter ever since he came into our lives. Gramma (and Grampa) took care of Harley a combined total of 6-8 weeks each year. Before they moved to Colorado, they would drive all the way from Arizona to Colorado just to care for our dogs. Dan and I often had to travel internationally and we would be away up to 2 weeks at a time and there was no one we trusted more to care for our little ones. Carole knew everything about Harley, she took excellent care of him and she loved him as much as Dan and I. She misses Harley terribly. Harley was lucky to have such wonderful grandparents in his life!

  12. Carole,
    I am so sorry for your loss of Harley. Please know that there are many of us who mourn along with you although we cannot begin to fathom the depth of your grief. Thank you for taking such superb care of Harley and his sibs. It is no wonder with all the love from you and Dan and Rudy that Harley lived for 15 years!

  13. Sometimes in life you meet someone who literally take your heart, and Harley did that. Only knowing him from facebook, he still had that magical Harley power of love.

  14. I’m a Grammy to my two grand dogs and I know how much they mean to me! Harley was a lucky guy to have so much love! It makes up a little bit for his first 10 years without it! You guys are amazing for all that you do! I never got to meet Harley but he was still able to touch my heart!

  15. So sweet. Yes, to find someone to care for your fur kids as you would – is very important! 🐶❤️

  16. “Happy Birthday”, Gramma Carole! Seeing these photos of you loving & caring for dear Harley are so beautiful & precious. I know you miss him very much…
    His strength in life lives on, as we all work to end puppy mills, in his honor.
