Thread: Bo is sad

Any tips for helping a grieving dog? Or is it just one of those things they need to go through and figure out themself?
Our old boy passed on last week and for the first few days Bo seemed OK, maybe just thought he was away for a bit or something. But, the past couple of days it's become clear he's figured it out. He's always been a dog that wears his heart on his sleeve, very obvious to figure out how he's feeling and he's very obviously feeling a bit blue. The old boy used to sit by the ranch slider and watch the world go by and Bo has been going and sitting on his spot and whimpering and going back and forth between that spot and myself or the wife and putting his paw on us with and enquiring look on his face. He's never been one to whimper or make much noise at all. He's also gone a bit "mopey" full stop, doesn't want to play with his ball and even going to work (which he lives for ) doesn't hold much appeal. It's also not helping the wife at all as she sees him upset, she knows why and it gets her waterworks going again.
