Dogs; On Death And Grieving
In Loving Memory
R.I.P. Champagne
3/?/05-7/13/05
From PreciHOWES,
The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Dog <{); ~ ) >

HOWEDY People,

The Amazing Puppy Wizard's neighbor just ran
over his puppy in his own yard, movin a junk
vehicle arHOWEND. NO PROBLEMO. This pup lasted
TWICE as long as his last dog done...

HOWEver, over the past couple weeks The Amazing
Puppy Wizard and HIS dog had been makin pals with
Champagne as WE called him.

When WE discovered the DEAD puppy, The Amazing
Puppy Wizard and HIS dog scented him from maybe
12' away from the fence where his body was lyin,
despite the 5mph breeze comin from behind US.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Dog started actin
concerned, then barked a couple times, evidently
tryin to engage him in a game of chase along
the fence as they'd been enjoyin.

"He's DEAD, PreciHOWES. Champagne AIN'T NO MOORE."

Later that nite, there was a EEIRE S-HOWEND
comin from The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Dog as
she slept. It S-HOWENDED LIKE CRYIN <{); ~ ) >.

Of curse, most dogs kick their feet and whimper
a little pretty often in their sleep, BUT THAT
AIN'T NORMAL, despite that it SEEMS NORMAL as
MOST DOGS (under STRESS) do that.

The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Dogs ALMOST NEVER
demonstrate those SYMPTOMS of ANXXXIHOWESNESS,
so the ONLY logical EXXXPLAINATION is HIS Dog
was CRYING for the loss of her little pal next
door <{); ~ ) >

So NHOWE, every time we go HOWET we TALK abHOWET
Champagne and all the FUN TIMES WE had chasin
each other and snugglin through the fence, and
we talk abHOWET him throuHOWET the day and nite.

It'll be very interesting to note if The Amazing
Puppy Wizard's dog GRIEVES her loss NHOWE that
WE have RECOGNIZED and ADDRESSED the situation.

Mourning; An Update
Re: Dogs; On Death And Grieving

HOWEDY People,

An interesting development has been happening
over the past six days since Champagne bought
the farm <{): ~ ( >

The Amazing Puppy Wizard's Dog has begun doin
an OCD behavior as she runs HOWET the door,
evidently as a result of CONFLICT EXXXPECTING
her pal to greet her, yet KNOWING he's DEAD.

She's begun bolting HOWET the door to rush to
see him, something she'd had done ONLY IF she
saw Champagne settin HOWET there <{): ~ ( >

Often he'd lay there and BARK for her to come
HOWET... and he'd often laid in wait knowing
her habits, to meet her after dinner for a few
minutes playtime.

The OCD is NOT a problem as WE KNOW we can
EXXXTINGUISH it in just a couple of repetitions.
HOWEver, it IS curiHOWES enough The Amazing Puppy
Wizard thought HE'D LIKE to share it with HIS pals,
just in case they might run across a similar habit.

When the door opens she BOLT FASTER than she'd
had EVER done, but goes ONLY abHOWET 8 feet and
quickly drops into like a "flea scratching" frenzy
but only for maybe five seconds, always the same
spot on the grHOWEND and on her body (right shoulder),
then BOLTS AGAIN goin maybe twice that distance and
REPEATS the "flea scratching" behavior, for abHOWET
five seconds.

Not a BIG DEAL, HOWEver as with ALL BEHAVIOR
problems it's BHOWEND to GET WORSE if IGNORED.

Over the past couple days the behavior has
INTENSIFIED, but not so's you'd REALLY NOTICE,
it's VERY SUBTLE, but seems to be almost working
up to a kind of head shake, almost a "flashing"
just back and forth and ONLY A LITTLE, AFTER she
finishes or just pryor, accompanied a couple times
with a spin arHOWEND, and sometimes she didn't
scratch, just did the head flashin and circled
or maybe did a half circle, it's VERY SUBTLE,
kinda like a twinge from a mild shock might
make your muscle twitch <{); ~ ) >

Additionally, the scratching behaviors have been
occuring when she approaches those two spots from
other directions than from bolthing thru the door
and THOSE TIMES, it SEEMS to maybe CONfHOWEND her
a little, as it SEEMS she CAN'T FIGGER HOWET HOWE
COME she gets "TRAPPED" in that position for "no
reason" whereas when she does it from the door
she's too absorbed in it to notice sumpthin odd.

If this mourning behavior wasn't SO SAD it'd be
hilariHOWES <{): ~ ( >
