[matese]

So very sorry for the loss of your sweet lil Bailey and the sorrow lil Mollie is going through . I went through this years ago. I had a pack of 3. The oldest one passed away, still had two, 6 months later the 2nd oldest one passed, now the baby (6 y/o) was alone. She pined and pined for the loss of her sister, they were always the closest, played & slept together. I gave more all my attention, so did my friends. When I would come home from work at night she would give me a brief hello, then sulk away. I figured time heals all wounds. I was giving her 6 months to get back to her sweet, cute, playful little self. 7 months later, no change, she was still depressed. I had to get get a play mate, so off to hunt one down for her. Now she was always the baby of the pack, the two older ones always took care of her, cleaned her face, let her win at tug of war, I didn't know how she would react to now being the momma and having a baby in the house. She was also very bossy with the two older ones, thinking she was the pack leader lol. I had to be very selective on the puppy I about to bring home. I found a beautiful BIG puppy lol, so home she came with me. It was love at first sight. My 6 y/o came to life, she bonded with that puppy, I use to call them Roadway, where ever the puppy was, the older one was right behind her. It was wonderful to see my older girl happy again and back to her self. She LOVED this puppy more then she cared for the two that passed away. I guess 7 months of being lonely and alone made her appreciate the new kid. She never bossed the puppy around, my older was weighed 9 lbs, the puppy as an adult weighed in at 17 lbs. The puppy was always gentle with her older sister, would let the older one win at all tag games, the puppy as an adult was always respectful of the older one. They were the sweetest two girls ever.I miss them so much. Good luck, I hope Mollie comes around, it is so sad to see them unhappy.
