Message to Harlow: RIP Harlow: May 7, 2012 - March 22, 2025. She turned our big-dog house into one where a little dog reigned. She was affectionate; funny; and, yes, sometimes stubborn and full of sass; but she always welcomed various canine house-guests into our home like it was her vocation. She’d really roll out the red carpet during visits from the fur kids she birthed in the last of her three litters. She doted on Cole, and he cherished her beyond comprehension. She told us so much without speaking, with side-eye glances and enthusiastic nose-bop greetings. The way she sought and created comfort for herself is something we could all aspire to. Most of all, she made our now broken hearts that much fuller for having known her.
Tell us about Harlow: Harlow was a purebred French Bulldog from a preservation breeder. After having several litters, all requiring delivery by C-section (which is typical of Frenchies), she was re-homed with us. We knew the breeder because my daughter owns one of Harlow’s sons. Because of Harlow, we became part of the Chicagoland French Bulldog community and gained many lovely human friends. Jean Harlow is named after a star of the Silver Screen: Epic N Suirac’s Bombshell.
