My wonderful companion and friend Toby died this week. Having him put to sleep was the most difficult thing that my husband and I have ever done and we miss him terribly. So too does Toby's brother Lucky.
Toby and Lucky came to me from a rescue, they we born in the same litter and have spent their entire lives together - about 17 years. Since Tuesday when Toby died poor Lucky has been lost -- he keeps walking around the house and yard looking for Toby. For the first 24 hours he kept "calling" for him. Since then he stays up in our bedroom where Toby spent a lot of his time. Lucky is just sitting there. At night he's sleeping on our bed, which is very unusual as he normally likes to sleep on the sofa downstairs. He's not eating very much either.
I don't know whethere there's anything I can do to help Lucky with his feeling of loss or confusion. Toby had been ill for a long time, he didn't die suddenly. Is he feeling the same way we are ? Does anyone have advice on what we can do to make him feel better ?
Toby was such a treasure, a blessing in our lives that meant so much, I love and miss him so much it hurts.
