If you think our dogs don't know the difference between life and death (hankie time)

Bella and Beavis played ball together, shared living quarters, ate together, etc. They lived and loved together for quite a while. Beavis died this morning, and Bella has been in mourning for hours

1. Even playing ball didn't distract him from his mourning.

How long did Bella lay there? Poor dog must have been so sad.

3. I didn't get halfway through.

That was just too sad.

But I also thought that it was time to dig a hole, and let Bella participate in the burial.

7. I saw that in GD. So very sad.

I have always known many animals mourn. Sometimes, it is actually mourning over someone being gone too long. My puppies cry when "daddy" (my partner) is gone for more than two days. They also freak when ever one of the pack (I have 4 Chihuahuas) is taken away (usually to the vet).
