RIP Harley
Took me about a week to post this as this breaks my heart as much as when my dog died as a kid. Harley my beardie developed an aggressive cancer in her back which left her paralyzed in less than a week. The cancer ate through 2 of her vertabrae. I had to make the decision to euthanize her. Imagine a grown man crying in a vet office. I had her since she was a little 6 week old baby so it was one of the hardest decisions i made. My dog had to be euthanized for the same thing when i was a kid, aggressive cancer in his back which left him gimping/dragging the back legs. I personally am done with any kind of 'personable' animals. Dont want to go through or deal with what i am dealing with now. Anyways, rest in peace Harley. You were easily one of the best pets i had along with my dog and i still tear up when i think about it having to leave the vet office and seeing pics.

Re: RIP Harley
Oh my god dude. So sorry to hear this about Harley. I’m sure that was a terrible decision to have to make. You and all your critters, past and present, are in my thoughts.

Re: RIP Harley
oh gosh...
Sauzo, i have no words to help...
i dont keep beardies but i know their personalities are incredible and their care so involved.
you're both in my thoughts.
EDIT: i remember reading a post of yours stating Beardies are quite difficult/meticulous to care for. however you went on to state she was your baby and you'd do anything for her.
Sauzo, you are the ideal reptile keeper, and we are blessed to have you share your stories with us. i am so incredibly sorry for your loss.

I'm so so sorry for the loss of your awesome dragon...it hurts so much to lose the most "personable" pets, as they are truly family...but our lives are SO much
better for having shared it with them. So don't say "never again"....there's just no getting thru life without losses...the older we get, the more obvious that is.
Hugs, Sauzo! Rest in peace, Harley.

Re: RIP Harley
Suazo, you've had a tough couple of months brother! I am so sorry. My deepest condolences.
I too have been the one crying at the vets office, for the same reason. Most recently with my Beardie George, who I had to put down because of pancreatitis.
All you can do now is know you did the best for Harley during her life and that you made the best decision for her, a tough decision at that, when she needed you to. Remember the great times and all the joy you gave each other.
She is at peace now and pain free.
My thoughts are with you brother.

Re: RIP Harley
I’m so sorry for your loss, Sauzo. It’s never easy to lose our beloved pets, especially when you have to make the decision for them. I sympathize as I have also had to make that decision for my two cats (Freeway in 2013 and Patches in 2015). It never gets easier, but they enrich our lives with the time they are with us. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
