My wife thought he sense a bug or mouse behind the wall. I think he just misses Zack (although they were never best friends or anything). Watching Turk seemingly miss Zack has made me really sad about Zackie's death. I have been getting over it little by little. Now, more often than not, I think of happy times with Zack without crying. But seeing Turk staring at Zack's "area" was just too much for me.

I still can't believe that my little Zackie is gone. I still miss him so much.

Allan, I truly feel for your pain. My heart got broken when my first dog passed away at a young age of 6 months . .I was about 3rd grade then. I wept, and wept, and wept until I could not weep no more. I was so devastated my mom swore never to get a dog again. It was a gift from an aunt and I loved him dearly, with all my heart. It took me this long to be ready again, although I know I will mourn like you do if and when one of them leaves me behind. If I knew how much they have changed my life, I would not have waited this long I hope you will find it in your heart not to wait too long either. Life is just too short . . . I know Zackie does not want you to be unhappy either.
