<DIV>Melissa --</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm so sorry about Harvey. I know what you mean about feeling
physically ill with the grief. You and he are held tightly in my heart and
my thoughts.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And I'm sorry about Pearl's grieving and confusion. Just a thought,
which had helped one of my girls, is to get D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing
Pheromone). It's a doggie pheromone, what mothers produce to calm their
puppies. It's available in a little dispenser kind of like Glade air
freshener; also in a collar form.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My vet had actually first recommended this, because she had a cat who was
inconsolable, and in desperation she tried the cat version, and it calmed and
soothed her almost immediately. I tried it with my girl, for whom nothing
else had worked, and it worked miracles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you google "D.A.P. dog" you'll find more information about it, and
places to get it. (It's available many places -- for
instance, through Drs. Foster and Smith, or Amazon, or eBay.) If
you don't want to wait for the shipment to arrive (so that she can start getting
relief sooner), you might want to try a local vet or pet supply
store. From personal experience -- I really, really recommend it for
her. (I wish they made it for humans!)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>(Since it would be just for her, and just for short-term, the collar may be
more cost-effective for you. My girl needed it long-term, so I bought the
dispenser and the refills.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Good luck -- and, again, my heart aches for you in your loss.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fondly,</DIV>
