huge hugs to you.

Dogs do go through a mourning period just like we do, our ****er spaniel used to sit on the chair next to the window and look out at where our other dog was buried, she would also walk around the house looking for him. It was so sad. All of our dogs have been allowed to see the deceased dog, have a sniff etc, I think it does give them an understanding of what has happened. Our dogs have been buried in the garden and we have never had an issue with the other dog digging them up or being distressed.
