Jay Jimenez, the oldest child in the Jimenez family, was off to college in the summer of 2000 and set to attend Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. The other two children in the Jimenez family, Amanda and Sarah, were both a bit distraught about their older brother's big move to the United States from Belgium. What better way to "replace" a family member than buying a puppy?!
Hardin Simmons Jimenez was born in June 2000 on the Southside of San Antonio, Texas. He was picked from the litter and named by Sarah Jimenez, then 4 years old. Hardin flew half way across the world to live in Belgium with the Jimenez family for many years. In 2003, Texas "Tex" Bobcat Jimenez entered the family and was Sarah and Hardin's new brother.
Hardin and Tex resided in Obourg, Belgium until the summer of 2005 when the Jimenez family moved to Harker Heights, Texas. In 2006, Hardin moved to San Marcos, Texas to live with Amanda Jimenez and Kelly Garrott. From 2006 until 2009, Hardin bounced around to all sorts of apartments and new places in the Central Texas area and thoroughly enjoyed his college experiences. He was quite a hit at most house parties.
David Copeland and Hardin met in November 2007 and tolerated one another. Thor Copeland entered the picture in June 2008, and Hardin was not very happy about his new brother. The Jimenez-Copeland household tried to make their new blended family work. However, in November 2009, Hardin went to stay with the Jimenez family in Harker Heights while Dave and Amanda traveled to New Orleans, and never returned back to live with the then Jimenez-Copeland family.
Hardin passed away on July 11, 2011. Hardin was a happy old dog living in Harker Heights with Tex. He was certainly spoiled and loved greatly by Javier, Cindy and Sarah Jimenez. Hardin lived a very full life and will be missed by all who knew him.
