Last Wednesday, I had to put Zeus, my chow, to sleep. He was the oldest of our babies, so for everyone else, he has always been here. It was extremely hard as he was a wonderful friend, not only to my husband and I but also to our three other dogs and 6 cats.
My question is, how can I help the other pets through their mourning? They are, understandably, acting oddly - mopey, clinging, constantly asking for attention, not eating normaly and following us around. We are giving all of the animals extra attention, but I am wondering if anyone else that has had to go through this may have some advice on other ways to help my babies get through this. I know they (like us!) will need time to adjust, but I am wondering if there is anything that we can do to help them through their adjustment.
