Members PunkKitty Posted November 5, 2012 Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 Woody, that's not too unusual. Dogs go through a mourning process similar to humans. She is likely longing for Lamb's return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members etawful Posted November 5, 2012 Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 The husky's name is Leah. Leah was a stray that showed up in my backyard one morning a few years ago. She had no chip, and no collar. We turned her into the police- who took her to a Vet Hospital. No one claimed her, so we ended up taking her.One odd thing I have seen - like I said before Lamb spent the last few days in the entry way hall- right next to the kitchen. I am now starting to see Leah laying in the same area. That is not a usual spot for Leah. Either Leah is remembering Lamb, or taking in her energy. It is a remarkable thing to see. When we lost Frankie (the dog in my avatar), one of our cats (who would curl up and sleep with Frankie frequently) would either sleep in his bed or sit staring at it for what seemed like hours. That lasted for at least a month after Frankie died. The bonds animals form with each other are just as strong as those they form with humans in my opinion. I still really miss Frankie . . . that was back in February. He was an older dog already when we adopted him, and (for his size) a very old dog when he passed (he was 16 yrs. old and weight about 95 pounds).

Members bsman Posted November 5, 2012 Members Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sorry I haven't been able to post before this -- what with the great forum flicker. Anyway, I just want to echo what everyone else has said. It's nice that people and animals are able to develop and sustain the sorts of friendships that are often more difficult to find between humans. I can't think of too many people who are as wonderful as the cats, dogs, and even guinea pigs I've known! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when you posted after Frankie passed away. 16 years is a long dog life. I'm sure he had one of the best lives a dog could have. I said this before,but I loved Lamb up every day I had her. I still tell her good might before I go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lonnie99 Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 This is what I have left of my Bella. She's the runt, hasn't reached 10lbs yet while the others passed 20 weeks ago. I've named her Tiny Bear. 10 1/2 weeks old. Having one of Bella's pups definitely eases the pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jrockbridge Posted November 7, 2012 Members Share Posted November 7, 2012 Sad. Sorry for your loss. I have 2 old dogs that won't be around much longer. Both are approaching 14 years of age. One takes medicine daily for his heart and a large tumor in his bladder that is inoperable. The other has severe arthritis. Mojo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricEye Posted November 9, 2012 Members Share Posted November 9, 2012 Condolences, Woody. Very sorry to hear about your loss and we will all miss her. She was a charming member of this board and I, for one, always looked forward to my paw rating for a HNGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kulardenu Posted November 10, 2012 Members Share Posted November 10, 2012 Very sorry Woody. Having to let your baby go is one of the hardest things to do. They are literally like your children. My German Shorthair is 13 and I have been giving him Fish Oil tabs and CoQ10 now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jjpistols Posted November 13, 2012 Members Share Posted November 13, 2012 Im sorry for your loss. I lost mine last month after twelve years. They fill alot of voids in our lives, and cause some real emptiness when theyre gone. Farewell, old friends. The universe won't let us be happy forever, but it will let us be happy again.
