Hello my friend

Harley's first visit to the veterinarian' s office. Did he complained when he got his shots?
Patty, so glad he's settling in nicely, he'll soon give those cat's a run for their money.
Hehehe....

    Hi Gypsy; thank you again for reading more of my Pet Stories. Harley did get on with the cats and they were all good pals.

This is a wonderful story, Patty. I loved reading about Harley and how he loved his Mistress (you). Animals are so fantastic. I took one of my dogs to the vet today for her shots. Sadly it was the same room where my Bristol was euthanized, but that's the only room that wasn't full, so I sucked it up. I like how you have told the story in Harley's voice. Great job. Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn; thank you so much for stopping by to read another of my Pet Stories. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'm sorry it stirred up some unpleasant memories for you. I'm sure Bristol was a great dog,

    Thank you for your nice remarks, Patty. I love reading your animal stories. No worries about my Bristol. She has a special place in my heart.

He sounds lovely. All our animals are our family, our children. I miss my cat terribly, they really climb into your heart and make themselves comfortable there. But when they go, they leave such a large whole. This was such a lovely part. I am enjoying the way you write about Harley. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra xx

    Hi again, Sandra. Thank you so much for reading along with Harley's story. He was a fun little dog to write about - he had the most expressive face,

Great descriptions of what a puppy must be feeling and thinking as he adapts to a new home. I think potential pet owners can learn from your writings, especially the time needed to care for pets.

Another interesting story about your pets. It's a good thing that you get so much joy from them. Pets are one of the best ideas god ever came up with.

I can't help but think of these little anecdotes as Harley's Diary, LOL. Again, this is written perfectly, taking us through his day as though we were with him.

    (giggle) If Harley had a pen and paper, he probably could have written these stories himself - he was that smart! Thank you so much for reading along and for your warm comments,

    Hi Teri; thank you for reading about Harley. He has a few more stories, and I'm debating on telling the story of what happened to him, along with Simba's crossing over the bridge. I have to get myself ready to write those kinds of stories,

I love the story. I think Harley won't like the neutering part...but we'll see:)

My only suggestion is since this seems to be written in the voice of Harley, I don't think you should use the name. It should be in 1st person.

Teresa

    Hi Teresa; thank you so much for your kind review. Harley never noticed he was neutered - he didn't know any different! There will be a few more Harley stories to come,

Oh, I know. I have lost some Dynamite pets in the last two years and it is difficult to even think about them. You did a great job telling about Harvey's days with his new mistress. Well done Patty. Nancy

    Hi Nancy; I'm glad you enjoyed this revived story about Harley. He has a few more stories where he is the star, and I'm hoping to post them in between a few Bernie and Howie stories - its been awhile since I wrote about them!

that's the best part, we as animal lovers, get to share from that point of view, a life of love and all that goes with it. I look forward to each piece.
