I never realized how infectious your zeal for life was to me. You, alone, energized me.

I thank you for allowing me to enter your world and loving you as much as I do.

I miss laying on the floor next to you. I miss brushing your beautiful coat. I will miss putting a Harley-Davidson bandana around your big neck. I miss the clicking of your nails across the dining room floor. I miss you whimpering at 1:30 in the morning and waking me up to take you out. I missed your barking at the garbage truck this past Saturday morning. I miss you approaching the bed & nudging me to pet you. I miss you walking up from behind me & placing your head between my legs with your ball in your mouth then teasing me to take the ball away from you. And when I would get the ball away from you. I miss throwing it and you retrieving and bringing it back to repeat this game over 'n over.

I miss watching you chase rabbits in your sleep. I will miss watching you jump in the back of the truck each time the tailgate drops. I will miss seeing you in the driver-seat of the motor home. I miss watching you run back & forth from the front door to the bedroom barking at Bo - "Come on - Dad- get your shoes on. I'm ready for my walk - it's dark outside." I miss watching you carry your squeak - squeeze toy in your mouth as if it was your pacifier. I will even miss you drooling when I get cheese out of the refrigerator.

I will miss you and SHMILY playing and the beautiful love affair you two shared. But most of all I will miss the love affair you shared with your "Dad" - Bo.

Thank you Hartzall for always allowing me to hug your neck & to love on you as much as I did. You made me feel like a child with my first puppy. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, my beautiful Hartzall, for giving me so many wonderful memories.

I praise our Heavenly Father for your life and our time together. I was always in awe when I would look into your beautiful face.

My heart is so broken to lose my earthly pal, but my hope is to see you again one day at Rainbow Bridge. Please watch for me and forget me not.

P. S. -- SHMILY misses you - - and your Dad does too.

Neither one will ever be the same. I promise to help them both through this. Two days ago, SHMILY decided to become a lap dog. Then he lays his head on Bo's chest. Thank you Hartzall for training SHMILY to step in to fill your paws. Two years ago, Friday eve after Thanksgiving, you brought SHMILY to us. You left us two years later, Friday eve after Thanksgiving.
