2 weeks have past since Jake left us. It hs indeed been a rough time, for us nd for our Jessie dog. She and Jake had been together for almost 9 years..insperable. If he left a room, she left it too. Heaven forbid if I walked one without the other. You would hear the howling and crying no matter where you went.
Jessie is grieving now. I do not think she understands he is gone as she never saw him pass. Nor does she relize that those are his ashes are sitting on the shelf. But she knows he isn't here. The past 2 days she has been running to the door whenever someone comes in looking to see who it is.
I think waiting for Jake...looking for him.
I have been introducing her to other social dogs in the neighborhood the past few weeks. She hasn't shown any interest in playing yet. My heart breaks for my Jessie. I can't change what happened to Jake (God knows I would if I could because I miss him so frigging much) She is sad, depressed and lonely. Getting another dog at this time isn't an option for us. Neither is fostering. Jessie needs our full attention & dedication until it is her time.
I wonder what is going on through her head....
