It's been 13 days now since Madison left us. I've given an hour or so of exclusive attention to Owen every day, but he seems lost. Maddie was the alpha dog of the pack since day one and that was certainly so when she was 5 and he came into the family as a pup. I didn't think it would be hard for him to step up a notch once she was gone. But he just seems lost. We have a golden retriever who is old and has always been "just there" - sweet and lovable, but on the bottom of the doggy hierarchy with no ambition, so she hasn't stepped up. Dogs need a pack with a hierarchy and I'm the human boss, but he seems to need a dog boss. Any insights from anyone here??
