Lennard 10 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 My old dog died at my parents of pyrometra when I was on vacation. My younger dog was there the whole time and saw my old dog turn from alive to a smelly corpse. I expected to see some sort of grief but I hardly saw any emotion, he just continued behaving like he always does. No searching, whining or anything really. No problem with being alone. He got closer to the cats but he was close with them anyway. My girlfriend and me stopped using the name of the dead dog completely, always refering to F or the "old one". L Quote Link to post
fensaluki 35 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Bad times mate...sorry to hear that. As said they all react a little different but give him a bit of time to adjust and hopefully he'll be ok. AB Quote Link to post
