In Tim’s last days, Chloe, Izzy and Duby seemed to want to stay close to him all the time.
When Chloe moved into Baskerville Manor, she formed an immediate bond with Tim, and hated to be parted from him. They behaved like an old married couple.
Izzy clung to Tim when she moved in too. On the first Halloween she spent with us, she would only be comforted through the fireworks by huddling up beside him. Both girls seemed to work together to ensure he was not alone for a moment. Even cheeky little Duby behaved like a perfect gentleman around him in the days running up to his death.
When I took these pictures, I just thought the dogs were being really sweet to each other. It seems like they understood far more than I did what was going on.
ReplyDeleteAnimals - especially pets - are amazingly sensitive, I think. Dogs more than moggies, I have to admit (reluctantly). I am so very sorry for your grief over Timmy: you will never lose it, but it will be manageable, before too much longer.
