I'm having a hard time getting them all to go outside, and they are not eating much or regularly. When Meika was here they all finished breakfast quickly because if they didn't, she would. Now food just sits there.
All 3 stick to me like glue, especially in bed. Kayla and Karlee are sisters and play with each other but not with Tiki. Tiki and Meika used to play chase and go outside more to check things out and bark. It's a lot quieter now. I hope that K & K will include Tiki in play too. It's all a little weird now, but it has only been a week since she left us. |
Aw! Poor Tiki. I hope her sisters include her soon. When my Tink was in the hospital for a week mine acted like I did something with her. She's the toy hoarder, but no one would touch a toy with her away. I stepped on a squeaky one time and they all thought Tink was back! They ran around the house in search of her for a while.
I think with Peek being so much older they're not too affected, although they know when I'm upset. I also left the blanket he passed in on the floor for them to sniff, so I think they know. I cried after reading your post and Tink, who is mostly a nutjob and off-the-hook, came over to me and looked me right in the eyes and wanted me to hold her, I did, and she put her face right up to mine and gave me the most delicate kisses I've ever got from a dog... I could barely feel her tongue on my cheek. And that made me cry some more.
After 2 weeks I thought I was done crying, everyday anyway. Then it went to every other day. I remember my face and sinuses hurting after the first week from all my tears. Remember to drink plenty of water, a lot of crying can dehydrate you.
Hugs... K
