<DIV>I totally agree with Momperson that other dogs should not be in the room when a dog is euthanized (or allowed near a body if a natural death and it can be avoided.) They have a difficult enough time dealing</DIV>
<DIV>with the human, who is having emotional reactions that they cannot comprehend. As</DIV>
<DIV>far as knowing the other dog is deceased and still looking all over for him/her--dogs live in the moment.</DIV>
<DIV>I don't know they remember. And even if the smell is there, they can't connect--how could they comprehend death. </DIV>
<DIV> Besides, whenever I have lost a dog, I have expected that dog to greet me, be around a corner,</DIV>
<DIV>come into the room, etc. for a very long time afterwards, How could a dog not do the same thing? </DIV>
