my gosh I am so terribly sorry to hear this.  I too will be thinking of you and your family, what a hard thing. 

I think its a good idea to do the bloodwork, just to rule anything out.  Huge (((hugs))) sent to you and Kofi.  :(

I'm so terribly sorry and heartbroken for your loss.  I don't know you, but please accept my deepest sympathies.  I bet you're right about Kofi, all of our bullies are incredibly intuitive.

Please keep us posted on what you and your vet learn.

hugs and good thoughts to you and your family, and the boys send bully smooches to Kofi and you!!!

into our feeling...how are you eating...if your not eating your dear buddy will not eat....their lives are so part of ours.....as silly as this sounds...cook up a little some thing specila fro the both of you....a small steak...eat together...see how that works...

i would still get a vet check but it may be depression .....

Oh, Carol, I'm so sorry!  Kofi may well be picking up on your emotions. And maybe she can help you heal, too....

On the loss of your son. Sweetheart, we are now in the same unwanted exclusive club. I absolutely know the loss of a son and the heartache you feel, and I can say that Kofi feels it too. Give her time, she is grieving with you. But a vet visit is a good choice as well to rule out any other possibilities.

I love you dear Carol. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am just so shocked and saddened of the news of your son's passing.  May he rest in peace....

I am sure Kofi is reacting to your broken heart.  You try not to show her your hurt, but she still feels it.  I am sending prayers so that you get good news from the vet so that you can be assured that Kofi is fine.

(((((((Carol and Kofi)))))))))

I am so very very sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. What a loss

Hugs to all

We share our condolences with you and your family as you hearts and souls are healing.  Our love to you, your family and sweet Kofi.

on the loss of your son.  Your are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.  Take care and God bless.

Micki Jablonski

came out well. She had blood work done, and was checked from head to toe and all was normal. She is 58 pounds, so she had gained a pound since her last visit. 

I guess I should be more careful in measuring out her food.

The vet said that she could check her thyroid ($150), but I decided against that for now.

She came home and had a lamb chop $$$$, so I guess that's a good sign.

I've decided she must be picking up on her feelings. I'll love on her and spend more time on our outside walks.

Thank you all so much for your sweet condolences. They are very comforting. It's such kind thoughts and prayers that are seeing us all through.

Such a huge loss can certainly affect Kofi, I'm sure they can sense our sadness.

 My deepest sympathies for the loss of your son.

I had Doyle on raw for the first 4 years and he loved it and thrived. Then he started turning his nose up at it and not eating. ( I would buy the frozen patties ) It got to the point where I was throwing away expensive food because he wasn't eating it. I switched to kibble and he ate away like nothing. I guess he just decided he didn't like it even though I had different flavors.

After several years on kibble, I'm thinking of switching back and see how he does. He's 8 now.

Hope Kofi comes around

That seems to be Kofi's problem. I'm thinking of grinding the bones with meat for awhile and see if she does better. She definitely has got tired of chewing whole pieces.

If that doesn't work, I may feed kibble again for awhile.

I am worrier than words can express on the loss of your son. Please accept my deepest condolences. I'll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Tell Missy Kofi that Auntie O said for her not to worry her mommy, but I love how tuned in to you guys she is. ((((hugs))) my friend!

exactly how your feeling. When Im very upset & crying my lil jack russell is right there licking my tears away...... dogs do grieve also. 

I lost my son 16 monts ago. i know what you are going thru. i took his american bulldog back with me his name is bubba. bubba did stop eating.  the only good thing for bubba was my two daughters. i do feel bubba knew he would never see his daddy again. not only did he stop eating  he sat in a corner and shake hung his head like he had been beaten, he  was a proud dog at one time  his spirt was broken. i gave him anything at the time to eat. yes dog do feel our pain and it does make them stop eating. bubba is fine now weight back on but he is not the same. he knows and yes we cry in front of him.  to bubba he is trying to move on now but we are just getting him to come out of his shell. if you ever need to talk e_mail me i do know the pain your in. God bles you and your family. this is one road i hate to see anyone go down.

here for the love and caring good wishes.....prayers especially.

You are all so special! I have always received only positive reinforcement and kindness on this board from day one.

Kofi is doing better. She will always let me know when things are not as they should be.

I think it was Rotti who said "it is all about them".....I have had a serious wake-up call, and plan to do much better in the future.

My family is dealing with our sad loss having  the "power beyond what is normal" 1 Cor. 4:7. 

We have a sure hope, and the best of memories! 

Kofi is snoring at my feet, and she had some canned chicken for dinner. She loved it!

Much love to you all!
