Our beautiful Springer finally succumbed to her congestive heart failure two years after she was given three months to live. She was a gorgeous, gentle girl and we are all heartbroken despite being grateful for the extra time. Our other dog, an 8yo male Cocker, had only ever spent three nights away from her in his life, they always slept in the same room and got on really well. Apparently when we took her to the vet on Tuesday he went into the garden and howled for ten minutes and when we came back he was desperately trying to get into the car where she had been. He is obviously getting lots and lots of attention, he has four adults at home most of the time with him, but he seems to be getting mopier each day and heads to the sofa where he sleeps for a lot of the day. He has even stopped following DH around in the garden and no longer pushes his way into DH's office when he is working which is usually his favourite place to be. Any ideas on what we could/should do to make this transition easier for him? All ideas gratefully received.
