I think that's what's happening. Just give her love and time.

Hoping you are doing OK. A hug with your bullie will help both of you.

...so please give it to each other


I hope you can both start feeling better soon.










Have a great day, and don't forget to kiss someone you love!

It was very sad. Her whole demeanor changed. We just gave her lots and lots and LOTS of love.

That being said - she never refused to eat, or a treat. It took her awhile to be back to being perky, and still, she's not quite the same.

It could very well be depression, but I think you have the right idea in bringing her in to check her out, since she is refusing treats... our thoughts are with you both.

I do know of a dog, family friends, that became excessively depressed after her owner died. I've never seen a reaction like that one since, and it broke my heart.

Please hug her for all of us....

Always in my heart...

I believe dogs truly feel things like this.
My girlfriend has a German Shephard. her cat the time got killed on the highway and the German Shephard went off food and water and everything. I went with her to the vet and he was super depressed. she actually ended up getting another cat..
so I am sure they feel ...big time ..and likely getting the vibes from you too..
that is maybe where most of it is coming from...she feels your pain ...
best of luck to her and update us later

he was very bummed and lethargic. He perked up a lot when Chester came along, I think he just missed his brother.

Keeping you both in my prayers. You have both been through such an emotional time and maybe she's just expressing her grief in this way.

it definitely rubs off, if you are more "up" she likely will perk up more too. Try not to stress too much, let it run its course
give her a big hug from us

Hope its just a bout of grief and betty will bounce back

she had raven as her ears and eyes....she knows he is gone....lite some lavender candles this will help her mood....and then it takes time...just like us...the older the harder....my bob was 11 yrs old when he lost his litter brother...he was never really the same...thier was just a little lite missing...but when i got wilson he became very protective of him...he liked playing with wilson...i think he liked having someone to play with...as he and kelly would play even in their old age....wilson loved playing with a ball and bob was ball crazy...

wilson was always with bob to....i think bob gave him alot of confidence...and they gave each other alot of company....

Hope everyone has a great day

she does look pitiful.

when she first came home

If she gets a clean bill of health, I prescribe a trip to the McDonald's drive through on the way home. Junk food is good the the soul - if not the hips.

animals grieve, but its always good to be sure shes ok

much bully love~Christine, Dupree, Marley and Savannah

She's so sad....She always perks up a bit when I get out her collar, meaning a Car Ride. Making little "sighs" with every breath. Did a head tilt thing a second ago, never seen that. I hope everything's fine, but I need to KNOW and not do nothing.



I'm dreading going to the vet so soon without Raven. His body is probably still there. The crematorium picks up on Wednesdays. :*(

Prayers again please.

Raven (prior to tripawd surgery) and Betty

Well, I took Rae's advice and just offered her cheese from my sandwich and she just ate it laying down, very slowly. I could NEVER live with myself if something happened to Betty right now of all times!! I called the vet and Tom has an opening in 30 minutes, which is unheard of, he's always very overbooked. I took that as a sign, I'm on my way. It's only money (or debt)...

Dawn if she is eating/drinking and going to the potty normal, I would not go to the vet.
I believe animals do grieve. She misses Raven and she also is picking up on your grief.
You could get her a new bone,maybe that will perk her up
Hugs to you and Betty

I would think she is grieving for sure. Anything that she LOVES to eat? Even french fries if she loves those once in a blue moon. Treat her to something to try to cheer her up if you can.

hugs to you all

Raven and is confused. I think that dogs can grieve for each other. I have a good friend who is going through something very similar with her bully female. She recently lost her male & these two dogs were very close. Her female looks for her friend.......sad. Hang in there Dawn.

Maybe she needs a new dog friend.

when our German Shepherd died, the dog left behind mourned him for weeks. She would go outside to the place where he died and just howl. She NEVER did that while he was alive. She moped around for a long time, it made it harder for me to deal with his loss because of how sad she was too.

when she first came home

I think it's probably a combo of missing Raven and being in tune to your mood. That's a lot for a little old girl and she may just be extra tired.

Sounds to me like she's got the blues...

Give her a hug and a smooch from me, would ya?

wise to watch and see if she eats. However, I would not let her go like this for long. When our Patsy-gurl died, our boy Mack (our german shepard) just gave up for a while. He seemed very lost without the interaction he had with her. We eventually adopted a newfoundland who was in failing health, but still was company for Mack. He really perked up. It is the companionship and interaction of another dog that made life worth living for Mack. When I was a teenager, our collie died at age 11 leaving our german shepard, King, alone. He really missed Barney the collie, and within a couple of months, he too went to the bridge. I have this urgency about me to never let one pet go without companionship of another dog after that experience. King was my heart-dog. His loss was devastating. I am praying for you and Betty. Our dogs are so very smart about the loss of another. Many hugs to you both,
Maggie

i think she is really grieving raven. she can pick up your vibe which is down as well. she is probably alot more in tune because of her limited sight too. she is lonely and has no "competition." on the other hand I know when Josie isn't feeling up to snuff, she has a warm nose and really warm pads. I understand the economics of it all and see how she feels later today, maybe do something special with her that may bring her out of her dulldrums. It is hard no matter what. Tamsen

don't need anything else right now! Thinking of you both!
