Side question, how do you deal with the other dogs in the house?
Do you take them to the vet so they know their roommate is gone?
Have a beagle who was at the groomer when the other dog died and has been upset and wandering since the other one died at the vet.

Good question, we have a female GR that is 4 years younger, I suppose he was like her father figure. She will definitely be lonely without him but she goes to work with my wife a lot these days. Helps my wife with her anxiety, she owns a retail business and has had to work a lot lately due to low work force, she has been looking for employees but no one seems to want to work but on their own specific schedules not when she needs them. Well that just doesn't get someone hired when one of the first thing they say is I can only work these days, these hours and etc. Sucks becuase of the required hours of operation. Hopefully she can find help before summer starts.
Know anyone (cute female) who want to work this summer at the beach? LOL

Our last 2 dogs were shepherd/lab mixes. Great dogs, they were siblings.
When we took the one to the vet who had been since, I thought maybe that we would not be bringing her home, but I wasn't sure. She didn't come home with me. I held her while she breathed her last. My wife and I cried and loved on her for a couple of minutes then left to come home.
My dog's sibling was lost without her, they had never been apart in their lives. I wish I had thought to take him so he could be with her at the end, but I didn't know it was going to be the end.
We got 2 pups thinking that would help him, but he laid down and died in my garage 7 weeks after his sister passed away. I had taken him to the vet numerous times in the weeks between her death and his. Nothing was found to be wrong with him, but he wouldn't eat regularly and was lethargic.
I'm convinced he died of a broken heart.
