On May 30th our 14 year old miniature poodle went to the big dog park in the sky. Pistol had a rough first week as he had never been an only dog. He did not want to eat the first two days even if I tried to hand feed him, he wandered around the house looking for JoJo, and would not go outside unless you picked him up and carried him out. Now I am glad to say all those behaviors have resolved except one. Pistol will go to the door and dance to go out, when you open the door he still turns around and sits down to wait for JoJo. This is getting better though with a little encouragement he will go out on his own. He was depressed and missing his big brother, but I think he is getting over it now. I wouldn't worry about it to much unless you start to see problems. |
