| Penny is grieving My husband passed away the day after Thanksgiving. He was Penny's person. I used to joke that he was Daddy and I was the Help. Ever since he passed. Penny has been distant with me. She eats and will sleep in the bed with me (at a distance) but will not let me hold her or love on her. She was very loving and a real cuddlebug before. I know she is confused and sad but I am beginning to think she will never be the same again. I feel like I lost two loves. Has anyone else experienced something like this? |

| Try to give Penny some extra love and attention. Give her her favorite treats and take her for walks. I am sure this is going to take time. I am so sorry for the loss of your husband you are going through a tough time. Sending a hug to you. Susan |

| My Dudley went through that when my late husband passed. He would sit at the end of the bed and wait for him to come to bed. Finally with some patience and passage of time he turned to me for comfort. Just give her some more time and try to keep on trying to show her you love her. She is trying to figure out where he went.

| I am so sorry for your loss and sending my prayers to you and penny. As others have said it will take time. Make some special memories for you and penny something thats just yours and hers. Maybe a trip to your favorite pet store it's good to get out and do fun things even if you don't feel like it. I two will be going through this in the near future so the Dr's tell us . I pray your pain and sorrow will be replaced with happy memories. |

| So very sorry for the loss of your husband. Yes Penny will come around but it will take time. Keep cuddling her and holding her close. As Susan78 suggested, do special things with her like a walk in a park, something you and Penny have not done or did not do often.

| I am deeply sorry for your loss. Penny is coping with her own loss, too, but she also most likely feels your own sadness. I hope together you will give each other strength and comfort.

| I am so sorry for your loss........ Do you have videos where your fur baby can hear your husband's voice? ....and maybe this is not such a good idea, because it will probably make you cry to hear his voice..... please forgive me if this make you sad.

| So sorry for your loss... have you heard of Bach Flower Remedies? I have never tried them with my Yorkie but a Dobie-owner friend of mine is very enthusiastic about these products: Rescue Remedy Pets - The Original Bach Flower Remedies (just in case you want to try them - I am in no way connected with this company). The link contains a chart with symptoms and remedies.
