Gracie missed her for probably a week or two, then moved on. Holly was very subdued for several months and also stopped eating for probably 6 weeks. It was interesting to watch because I would not have said that Holly and Anna were big buddies or anything like that. All three girls always got along fine together, but they mostly went their separate ways. One of our neighbors up the street has a little dog that goes walking with us sometimes, she still looks for Anna when she comes over. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I’ll tell you something funny/sad about Anna dying. We woke up and Anna’s health had taken a big turn for the worse and I knew it was time, so called and made an appointment to take her in at roughly 10:30 AM. During that time Anna peed in the house twice, two huge puddles (she had gone blind overnight and could not find the pet door), and I just cleaned them up and didn’t say a word, she could not help it. Second puddle was just a few minutes before we left. Well, Miss Holly has always peed in the house if it is raining or has been raining or even looks like it is thinking about raining. I have tried and tried to stop it, but nothing has ever worked. So the morning Anna died, she peed in the house twice, and Gracie and Holly were both there watching what all was going on, they knew something was wrong. After I got back from the vet’s without Anna, they both rushed me and sniffed and checked out her collar and looked for her. No Anna. This was mid-February, and Holly has not peed in the house to this day, even when it’s raining (and it rains a lot in February). It took me no time at all to figure out that Holly thinks I got rid of Anna because she peed in the house. Funny. Sad. And no, I am not an evil Mama.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'>Anita Woodrum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS"'><a href="mailto:awoodrum@clear.net">awoodrum@clear.net</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
