We am so sorry to hear this news. I don't think we have ever had the fortune to meet Harry, but we all understand how difficult this passage is for all of you. What a long life full of great achievements he had! Congratulation one more time and ... "Goodbye till we will see you again!"

Margaret:

My home sends much love to yours to sooth the passing of an AMAZING dog. Although I never met Harry, he passed his personality, love and smarts onto many dogs including my beautiful Blaise. Nothing could ever ease the pain of his passing but know in your heart his spirit lives on in his children and grandchildren.

God Speed Harry

No! Oh, I'm so sorry. I remember him as a youngster, still in the puppy classes, at Lompoc. He caught my eye immediately as a great dog in the making. The world is indeed smaller. You have my sincerest condolences.

Dear friends,

I am so sorry to hear of Harry's passing. I too remember the days in the showring when Harry and Gunner were competing together...first as puppies, then young adults and finaly in the BOB ring. One day it was Harry's turn to win and the next day was Gunners day but it was always fun!!

Harry was an awesome ambassador for the breed...his coursing abilities were second to none as were his mind boggling leaps into the air!!! He sired some great kids that will continue to carry on the Bija legacy.

RIP old man...your buddy, Gunner, will be joining you soon.

Jodi and the Leavenworth 'gang'

PS....I will always remember the last time I saw Harry in Memphis on the coursing field. He sure put on a great show...especially when he came in for the ''killing of the bags''. Harry always did it HIS way.....

Mavides Jul 13, 2010 11:10 AM

I'm so sorry to hear this.

I was honored to get to spend some time with Harry at the Nationals in 2008. It was so neat to see Rory with her great grandfather...I love that this breed has the potential to stay with us for so long -- but it makes it so hard to see them leave.

Thoughts and prayers are with you Margaret.

Oh, Margaret, I'm so sorry to hear we've lost Harry. He was always so full of himself and willing to share himself with the world. He's been a great ambassador for the breed. I'm thrilled to have his son and grandkids. I'm so glad he successfully passed on his loving, smart personality along with great structure so future generations can benefit. My gosh, that photo of him looks like Zeke. Or I guess that is the other way around and happily Zeke looks and acts like his dad!
Harry will forever be in our hearts and our history.

Margaret,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss; I know how much Harry meant to you. His achievements were monumental. I remember meeting him when he was just a pup when we were down in Texas with our two old boys. Time does fly. Now he's gone too. Those PH's at the bridge must be having one more good time.

Our thoughts are with you.

It is always so hard to see the old ones move on. May his journey and reunion with the ones who went before be a happy one.

My sincerest condolences.

I know how very special this boy was to you, and I am sorry for your loss.

I remember laughing and clapping for him as he coursed at the National in Memphis. What style !!

Dear Margaret, Ron, and Abby,

Our hearts are very heavy and we are genuinely saddened to learn of your tremendous loss. We were honored to have known Harry, a great and wonderful dog in so many ways. We also know that this is the type of loss from which it takes considerable time to recover---he was your heart dog for sure!

Your quote was very appropriate--that feeling of knowing that the world is different, and less, today because Harry is no longer here with you--it is true, and we know that feeling all too well, and our hearts ache for you all.

Sending our deepest condolences from across the miles,
Sincerely,
Rebecca and Margie

I'm so sorry for your loss. I also remeber watching him in Memphis. Running his little heart out just so he could "kill" that bunny at the end!

Ron, Abby and I would like to thank everyone for your kind words.
It is comforting to know that he is running bunnies, helping himself to donut holes, and having a great time.
Yes, the house is more still, and I have called Harry a few times.......and caught myself.
Harry has gone, his chair is empty, but he will never be forgotten.
