I think she knew he wasn't coming back because she didn't seem to look for him, but she didn't want to play or anything. She acted that way for a long time, we did get another puppy after a little bit and it took her a while to even get near the new one, honestly she never really got to be very close and we ended up losing her less then a year after him. |
Aww Im so sorry. Its the hardest thing.

Then she gradually changed into a different dog, she started playing with toys, became more cuddly with me and became very close to Roxie. I just let her grieve and tried not to mention Maya's name because she would get all excited thinking Maya was home. |
We have been trying not to say Charlie either. This morning getting back to the work routine, I wasnt even thinking... I walked in the back and said, Come on Charlie lets go potty.
As soon as I said those words, I felt horrible. Sam and Martin started going in circles, whining and crying then I just sat in the floor and cried. Sam sat in front of the crate barking his head off wanting in it. Finally I got them to stop and we all just crawled back in bed.
