Dad2Paisley Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Since the loss of Bear and Remy, our Thorpe seems to still be sad. He lays on the dog bed watching the door for them to come back. The other 2 greyhounds have handled it different it looks like. Any thoughts or just let it run it course? I've been giving all 3 more attention and loving to see if that will work.

greysmom Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Dogs grieve the loss of their pack mates, and each dog is different. I try to give the remaining pack members individual time and attention. We go on adventures, and take car rides for ice cream or puppacinos, sometimes starting a new class or activity can be good. Otherwise, I think it just has to be something they go through, and it can take some time. I think being there, and being patient with him is the way to go. Eventually, the pack will settle into a new dynamic.

Dad2Paisley Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks greysmom. We have off this weekend, so we'll probably take them all for a car ride and if the weather is good, to this one park they love walking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryJane Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Take the dog that is grieving for slow and long walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfette Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You can help him with some Bach's flowers. I always use gorse (5 drops in the water bowl). My mentor used to say 'gorse is like a bottle of liquid sunshine'. Quote Sorry for butchering the english language. I try to keep the mistakes to a minimum.

Dad2Paisley Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks all. We did our walks last night but Thorpe did not want to go out with our other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
