luvspugs

I took her for a walk today. She was quite bouncy this morning whilst waiting for her brekkie, but she is a pug and they do love their food! However, she is following us everywhere. She usually loves being in the garden and will sniff and explore outside at every opportunity. At the moment, she will go out the door and do a bit of a search for her mate and then immediately come and sit back at the door. Instead of being outside for an hour or so, she is wanting to be back inside within a couple of minutes. My husband and I had to work last night, so she went in to where my son was studying and settled into his beanbag, just so she was close to someone. She has never done this in the entire time we have had her. My son was fantastic with her and just let her snooze beside him whilst he studied for his VCE. It's hard watching her grieve, especially when I am also grieving.

Hi everyone. One of my 12 year old pugs had to be put to sleep 2 nights ago. She was a rescue along with her sister. We have had them for 5 years and they were 7 years old when they came into our home. They have been together their entire lives. The alpha dog was the one who was put to sleep and her sister is fretting already. I have no experience in this and would welcome any advice in making this period of time easier for the surviving dog. She is eating well, but just wants to sleep constantly. Occasionally she will let out a howl like she is in pain. This is not something she has ever done before. She is deaf after suffering 2 vestibular attacks in the past, but otherwise is normally robust and very outgoing. Thanks in advance.
