<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Hi Melissa,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Not exactly the same situation but I had
2 male littermates. They had been together since birth(born here).
They went to shows together , lounged and napped together and Played (alot)
together. They were together for 15 months. One of them recently
finished his Championship and went off to his new home.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>The brother still at home kept going to
his brother's crate and whined for the 1st day or two. Especally when none
of the older dogs wanted to play with him. I washed all the
bedding. I didn't do any real or extra coddling. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>It has been about 6 days now and the
whinning stopped a few days ago. He is adjusting just fine. He
does have other playmates but was especially close to his brother.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Baltimore color=#800000>Just give Pearl some time. Like
Sandi mentioned Dogs live in the moment and adjust pretty quick to new
situations. Just think of how all the fosters adjust to every
new home. Dogs don't really think in terms of yesterday
or tomorrow like we do. Our memories are far longer then dogs. Our
pain much deeper. </FONT></DIV>
