Thank you so much for doing this post. I haven't been on YT in several months, until now because we lost our female last Thursday at 1:20am while traveling on vacation. I even started a thread before I looked at this post, asking how to detect if my male was having problems with the lost of his mate. I needed to cry but felt that after it be a week, I should be pulling myself together. But believe me, reading your words allowed the gate to open and I am still setting here crying as I type this. Everything you can feel, I think you covered, and you are right, I lost my Dad May 12th and the friends really did help us get through that but with Cabella, I have heard so many say, it was just a dog, as in get over it. But I was with her daily, she was like my child, even though I know ever so closely without it happening, what it feels like to lose one. This hurts just as bad. Not quite as strongly but close. I really do appreciate the fact that you would take the time to do this post. It has really been a huge help to me. Sharon and Joey |
