my dog passed away today, he had cancer and he was really very sick, so we put him to sleep. He had been sick for awhile, but he didnt have pain, so me and my family didnt know. Well, we still have one other dog, and she seems sad... but i am not sure.

Does she know?

How long will it take her to get over it?

  1. I'm sorry about your dog.

    The other dog, she can sense your emotions. Also, she might be looking for the other dog and can't find him.


  2. I doubt she knows your old family member has died but dogs can pick up body language and vibes she also knew the other dog was sick. I have watched my dog with others and i know of two dogs that Dekota thinks of as friends (i know that sounds stupid) but when she comes around them she dosnt act like she does around other dogs she plays harder, jumps around quicker, barks more.

    Your dog lost a pack member as well, Im sorry or your families loss and i hope you guys can come to terms quickly.

    God bless you and yours

  3. YOur dog could be sensing you sad energy causing her to fell sad too. By the way...I''m REALLY REALLY REALLY Sorry about your dog :(

    I hope I could help .

  4. She doesn't know unless you gave her the opportunity to see the other dog after he passed.  Even then they are sometimes confused.

    It will take her a bit b/c she will still expect to see the other dog and doesn't really know why she doesn't, but dogs don't live in the past.  They don't dwell on things.  She will get over it eventually.



  5. every animal goes through a grieving stage. Humans, rabbits, elephants, birds... almost all in the animal kingdom. so yes, your dog does know... and he/she will overcome the grieving process sooner or later.

    maybe you should try to keep their spirit up and have extra play time... or walks.




  6. Im sure your dog feels the absence.  Give her time to grieve, but dont smother her in love.  She needs her time to grieve in her own way.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  

  7. yes she knows...she feels your pain. she is sad as long as you are sad. Animals since feelings. sorry about your dog

  8. So Sorry for your lost but you did the best thing for him.

    Yes she knows  what is wrong her friend is gone.Give her lots of love she will be fine it may take a while.Give her   his blanket if he had one but just for a short time,god bless you  all.
