I remember when I finally could stomach "cleaning out" my mothers closet and boxing all her clothes up (3 years after she had died!), my precious little yorkie stayed right in the room with me, I think she thought I was looking for momma in the closet.....she saw mommas shoes that she wore everytime she left the house to go shopping or something, and she got so excited "finding" those shoes were back....that clearly meant momma was somewhere in the house, and that little dog spent HOURS looking in every room, for momma. One day easily 4-5 years after momma died, I had my little dog with me in the car, as we had gone to pick jimmy up from work....he works at Kroger. That baby girl instantly realized where we were, but she thought we were there to get momma....and dam if a little old lady that looked alot like momma, pushed her basket to her car which was parked NEXT to where I was parked, my little yorkie went nuts with excitement, thinking momma was finally comming home.....she could not understand why that little old lady was not getting into OUR car, and she was clearly so upset and confused when the elderly lady left in that other car......it broke my heart and brought me to tears....and that happened easily 5 years after momma had died. I am not sure Aija EVER got over momma not being with us in the house, and she would wistfully look for her occasionally, from room to room, until she too passed. It used to break my heart and moved me to tears on numerous occasions. I do not think Aija ever completely forgot her dear friend, my momma, and she often looked for her longingly in other rooms.

I have no dispute or doubt, your baby could well be missing her friends that are no longer there....perhaps she needs ANOTHER friend to help fill that empty place in her little heart!

This is such a touching story! Thank you so much for sharing this. Sometimes I really cannot believe how incredibly loyal dogs are. Such unconditional and forever love that they give us. It's just amazing!
