Ollie Ann

[Newfie]

snip...I am worried about Stanley, Ollie's little brother. He is looking for her everywhere, smelling her blankets outside, sniffing her food bowl........I don't know what to do....I'm not sure that I can get rid of her stuff just yet, but wonder if it might be better for Stan.

If anyone has had similar experiences, any advice on what to do for Stanley would be appreciated.

When Mina the Black Lab died, we had another Lab who was 1 year younger. This Chocolate thought the Black was her mother, and greived probably worse than we did. She wouldn't eat, drink, and always looked for "Mom". We had to hand feed her, and alomst pour water down her throat.

We saw one solution, another "buddy", so we got a Jack Russell. Well, the Lab thought this was her baby and was thrilled and back to normal.

Look at it this way, two dogs are easier to care for than one. And like Sid said, a pound or rescue group would have just the thing you may be looking for.

We rescued a 4 yo Greyhound 2 -1/2 years ago and she's a joy to have around.

I don't think either of us could emotionally handle that right now, at least I know that I am not prepared for it. Yes, you are certainly right that a pound or rescue group could help us out, and we would definietly choose that route if/when we are able.
