Rest in peace, Harley

I was so saddened to read on Jared's twitter that his beloved Harley lost his battle with cancer over the weekend. Like many others, I sent Jared a reply, telling him that our animals are more than just pets, they're a part of our family and losing a family member is never easy. I remember back in season two, during the filming of Heart, when Sam breaks down before he has to kill Madison - Jared said that in order to get into that frame of mind, to start the tears, that he pictured losing one of his dogs. It breaks my heart to know that's now come true. I hope Jared takes comfort in knowing that he gave Harley a great life and that he's now pain free, romping and playing up in doggie heaven.

I'm glad that I gave Harley a starring role in my story Shadows in His Eyes, where he'll always live on as a hero dog. :-)
