This IS The Week From He**..

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm so glad you took those last pictures.
I'm not sure how you would communicate his passing to Daisy. I know they understand death when they are nearby when it happens. Many years ago my Bridget had surgery and because she was older my vet warned that her kidneys might fail. I brought her home and she slept in my bedroom that night. The next morning she was deep asleep and I couldn't wake her. My husband went into the kitchen to call our vet. ( I didn't want her to overhear that we were worried about her). Sounds silly now. Anyway she picked her head up, looked at me and let out a long breath and she was gone. She didn't whine or cry, just let out that last long breath and my dogs in the kitchen all let out a long howl at the same time. My neighbors dog howled at the same time. It was eerie. And something I will never forget.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.

He was well loved.

Thank you for that info...
I wonder if she DID know something more was wrong with him..because she was also barking all night long on and off...And everytime i went upstairs she was awake. Like alert..
We just kept getting up and checking on him.and he seemed to be sleeping deeply...and i didnt want to keep disturbing him because i knew he wasnt feeling well..
So i would just peep in the room and see that he was breathing and not getting sick or anything...
Its amazing how some people can say that animals dont care or have feelings for each other... i dont believe that at all.. i've SEEN the proof.
So sorry about your Bridget..

I'm sure she did know that something was wrong with her friend.​
