(2,472 posts)Dad died at the end of October, at home. The dogs knew. One of them was very sad, all he did the day dad died was lie in his kennel looking sad. That night I put one of the blankets from dad's bed in there and he seemed to like having it there, but he still acted very sad; for a few weeks he just wasn't himself.
It's been a few months now and he seemed to be back to his old, playful self again but a couple nights ago I found a dvd that said it was from my nephew's high school graduation party almost 20 years ago. I wanted to remind myself how cute my kids were back when they were little, so I put the disc into my computer. The first part of the disc was the video my dad had taken and he was doing his goofy version of narrating, talking about everything he was filming. That poor dog went absolutely nuts trying to find where dad's voice was coming from; I had to take the disc out and I still haven't watched it. So, now the poor dog has been acting sad all over again for the last two days. It's heartbreaking when they are sad and we can't help them get over it...
