86,
Sorry to hear about your loss of Piper. Its like you lose a part of yourself when they leave us. Just goes to show how much they are a part of our lives and mean to us.
Really glad to see Guinness in your and Rusty's life. Really neat to see how a youngster can bring the spring back in our senior four legged companions. Boxers are great dogs. My son and his wife have two that are full of energy. Jake, was rescued from an abusive home where the male figure beat him. Took Jake awhile to trust guys but is a total love now. This past year, Jake went kayaking with our son and I gotta admit that this pic has to be one of my favorite.
That is quite the doggie room, very cool as are the dog pics. As far as doggie depression, it's real........
Many years ago, Murphy(my first Aussie) was on my back porch at night. That morning at 3:00 AM, he started crooning. This continued until almost 5:00 AM. Murphy never howled at anything before and since this one evening. Come to find out, his sister, Jasmine who was living with my parents 5 miles away, passed away in her sleep early that morning. He was visibly upset and would search their home and yard weeks following. Regardless what others believe, I feel that our four legged companions know what's going on around us. The memory of that night has never left my mind.
Murphy is on the left and his sister Jasmine is on the right.
Cheers Bugs
