I just wanted to give an update on how things are going with my grieving dog, Star. I apologize, I don’t know how to update the original post. Thank you to whoever suggested putting a stuffed animal next to her. Last year, a friend gave me a stuffed animal that looks just like our mini dachshund, who recently passed away. Star has been having a really tough time, but after putting the stuffed animal next to her when she sleeps, she didn’t cry at all. This morning, I placed the stuffed animal on Ziggy’s pillow, where he used to lay in the mornings while looking out the window. Star sniffed it, did her usual morning routine, and hasn’t cried or barked since. It’s only been one night and morning with the stuffed animal, but I feel like things are starting to improve. Thank you again for all the sympathy and advice, I truly appreciate it.
