Remembering the loss of a Friend


I was sitting at my desk today and when I looked off to my side I saw Lucy laying in the same spot in my room where Baby used to lay while I was working. As far as I know Lucy had never laid there before because it was Baby’s spot and Lucy always laid behind me close to the door.



When I saw Lucy laying there I just thought that maybe she could smell Baby’s scent on the carpet and could have been remembering her friend and wondering where she was.

These two had always been together no matter what they were doing. They ate together, played together, were groomed together and until recently slept together in the same bed.

As you can see in the following picture, even though they each had their own bed, it was their choice to share the bed together.



Now that Baby is gone, Lucy has had a traumatic change in her life just as we all have. I don’t really know for sure, but I believe that a dog can grieve just like people do. At least they are capable of remembering and knowing that things are not the same as they were.
