A friend called to check on my Mother, and I told her I had to quickly take Hayley to the Vet. She said, "I'm going with you"; neither of us knowing we weren't bringing her home." She had been so healthy, and no symptoms until the very end. She had a large tumor on her spleen, and was bleeding internally. My friend and I were both in shock!
I had to make a quick decision, and a very hard one. The Vet said, "Even if she made it through surgery, she may have 6 weeks to live." My friend and I prayed and prayed, and cried and cried. Finally, I knew God had made the decision that was best. I couldn't stand to see her in pain; nor take the chance of doing surgery, and her still suffering or no quality life. It was a hard decision, but I had to let my Hayley Girl go.
I'm still grieving and miss her every, every, every day. She would have been 14 on Feb 27, 2011. I thank God for having her for almost 14 years, but I still so hurt for her unconditional love. What a doll she was! Thanks for listening. I have tears stream down my face. There will never been another Hayley. I miss you girl, and all your love, kisses and especially the love you had for me. You understood me and were so in-tuned to me that you just knew the right thing to do to make Mommy smile. I love you and there will always be a place in my heart for you. xxoo

I know how you feel and my heart goes out to you. I lost several and no one ever takes their place. But opening your heart to another shows your love for all God's creatures which should make Haley very proud. There's always another who needs you and Haley would feel good knowing that you continue to give the good love that you gave to her. Take your time to grieve and then see what God has in store for you. All the best ...

I'm so sorry for your loss, Judy. Not many people are able to experience the unconditional love of a pet, but those of us who have, know how special that kind of gift is. Hayley Girl is similing down at you, thanking you for saving her from days and weeks of pain and misery. All the happy memories you have with her will honor her life with special you. Praying He blesses you in your grief.

Judy, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our pets is just like losing any other member of our family. Not everyone agrees with me, but those who love their pets as family all seem to feel the same way. Their love is so unconditional and so loyal that we cannot help but miss them like we'd miss our
best friends.
Hayley will wait for you, but in the meantime, in her honor, maybe you should get another pet who desperately needs
your love and care. They'll gradually have their own place in your heart, but will never take Hayley's place.
God Bless you...my heart hurts for you too. I've been there so many times.

Hayley was named after the Hale Bopp Comet of 1997, and even though she is turning 13; she still is full of life. She still acts as a pup and loves unconditionally! Come join our party!

(Archived Mar 19, 2010)Happy Birthday Hayley (Jack Russell Terrier)
 |
Hayley is 10 years old today, February 27, 2007. She is a Jack Russell Terrier. My son gave me Hayley for my birthday in April, 1997. I had to put my Sheltie (Lady) down whom was 12 yrs old, and said I wasn't going to have another dog. Since, I'm a people person; everyone suggested that I get over losing my Lady, and get a Jack Russell. So, glad I did. She is fantastic, and so much fun and company!
Hayley loves to walk, walk, walk in any kind of weather. When she sees me put on my walking shoes, she goes for her leash. She also likes to play with her toys, and for me to interact. But most of all she loves to cuddle. And when it's time for bed; she gets under the covers, and has to be touching me at all times. She also is my alarm clock, and paws at me to awaken me.
Hayley was named after the the Halle Bopp Comet of 1997. We thought this was a very appropriate name for her, considering the time of her birth. Her nickname by many people is "Comet."
