The Pack

I am carefully observing and watching Annie Oakley and Willa.  I've said it many times, that dogs grieve and sense loss as much and maybe more than humans.

Sage was the pack leader, showing both Annie Oakley and Willa just how to be a lab (of course, Annie Oakley also marches to her own Milk Bone but that is another story).

It is clear to me, a week since Sage's death, that the two girls are still mourning.  This morning, each of them came to me, seeking lots of attention.  They tend to hang more closely together than they had before.  The dynamic has altered.

They are happy, no doubt about that.  But they feel loss.

It's still sad at Sage's home.

Murphy's Day.
