First, because they've always been so focused on each other since Boost came to live here, and Jake was such a curmudgeon, in particular to Boost, so there was never a lot of interaction except negative.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, they were both there while Jake was having seizures, and after I realized that they were both off the bed & huddling against the door looking miserable, I calmed them verbally and praised them and let them come back on the bed while Jake was recovering. So they both had lots of chances to sniff at Jake and see what was happening and in my own view of the world I think that they knew that something was amiss with him.<BR/><BR/>-ellenElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-51252009357448259262007-03-08T13:04:00.000-08:002007-03-08T13:04:00.000-08:00Oh Ellen, I am sad for you.

When they do,I try to consciously remind myself of all the wonderful walks we took and the little games we played.<BR/><BR/>The other thing I do when I've lost someone is to tell my brain that I want to dream of that person or dog over and over as I fall asleep. It really seems to work for me and I've had some really beautiful dreams and some very vivid ones, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
