We have all been so sad since Zeke crossed over, and I have been at somewhat of a loss trying to help Gus. As some of you may remember, Gus and Zeke were littermates and we ended up with both of them when my son had to move for a job. We were dogsitting Gus while he got settled, and it quickly became apparent that Gus was my heart dog. It has always been special to have both of them, but the downside is that Gus is now very sad and lonely. I believe that he realized that Zeke was very sick, but it is still hard for him to understand what has happened.
He has started playing a little with the Boykin Spaniel next door and he played with my sister's Golden on Sunday. He still is not very interested in toys or his usual favorite games, but I'm hoping that he will be in time.
Since both of us have been so sad, he is coming to work with me a couple of days a week. I brought him a bed and some toys from home and he just hangs out in my office. He has been really good and everyone at work has really enjoyed having him in the building. On the days that he doesn't come, everyone asks where he is and why he didn't come with me. They have all decided that he is great stress relief! The senior attorney in our firm used to bring his first Lab everyday until she died about 8 years ago so we have always been a dog friendly office. We have several clients who always bring their dogs when they come in as well.
I took this picture of him last week. This is Gus hard at work:
I have really been having a hard time, so it has been good for me when he is here. My husband has been trying so hard to cheer me up and today I received flowers from him and Gus.
