Drizzle needs your help

I'm so glad to read the recent updates about Drizzle's improved eating (even if it is sporadic, small progress is still progress, after all!).  If only every dog (or every person!) could have someone so devoted and compassionate to help with a grieving process like this . . . your affection, finding things to tempt her appetite and her interest -- Drizzle has an angel watching over her from the Bridge, and an angel right beside her on earth! 

Good girl, Drizzle . . . you're taking one day at a time and we all want you to feel stronger each day.

I hate to say this, but I know you took those pictures of her at the Environmental Center and she looks so beautiful.  But I see a sadness and emptyness in her eyes and I feel so sorry for her. I know you are doing everything you can for her, but it must be so heartbreaking to see her grieve. We went thru that with our dal when our first lab died unexpectedly, and she just laid for days and had no interest in anything.It broke my heart and that wasn't even a sibling to her. It wasn't until we got another lab one month later, that she started to perk up again.   I pray for Drizzle and you everyday---she is lucky to have you and  you have her.

I just came into this thread and read everything. This community is amazing with all the support you receive.

Now I'm praying for Drizzle too, I hope she gets better soon.

Dave, if you have written any where else about Drizzle...I'm sorry I missed it...but I came here to see if there are any updates...wondering how that big girl is doing?

Drizzle is doing half meals on her own and that is ok with me.  She could lose a few pounds more, safely.  She disciplined Paganini during outside time when Paganini was getting too playful and excited.  Paganini is recovering from spaying and should be inactive.   Slowly, she is coming out of it and getting back to normal. 

I like my sig too.  It is a nice reminder and I see their pictures every day.

Glad the big D is doing better.  And yes, that sig is beautiful.

And yes, that sig is beautiful.

Yeah,,,I wish I knew how to do stuff like that!

Dave,,,I'm happy that you think Drizzle is on her way....about time,,,huh?  Thank goodness!

Does anyone know how Drizzle is doing? I hope I didn't miss something. It saddens me to see Dyan concerned for Drizzle and little did she know her Bubblegum  would be gone in a matter of less than 2 months. I feel so bad for her.

Drizzle is fine.  She is eating normal, has gotten back to her normal weight, and has adjusted well to the new pack order.   During Blizzard's eight month illness, she had to take a backseat and she accepted this as the true trooper she is.  I just didn't realize that she had an awareness of what was going on with her sister littermate.  But, we both got through this and our bond has been renewed and so much stronger now.

I'm so happy that Drizzle is back to normal....really happy.  Somewhere last week I started thinking that I wondered how she was....but couldnt post about her....was just to bogged down.   

Thank God for her!

DPU.....I have just this very very sad thread, I havent been on for ages ..long story!

BUT I wanted to send all my heartfelt sympathy in your loss of dear Blizzard, I read all your threads about her when she was poorly:((( I am sick to my stomach tonight and have not stopped the tears from rolling down my cheeks and now I am praying and hoping that Drizzle will stay positive and be able to get through life without her dear Blizzard and That you manage to get through this very very sad time, I do apologise for not replying sooner if only I has spotted it I would have.

You are in my thoughts and prayers, God Bless, love Claire xx

That is great news---I guess it takes our dear companions just as long to grieve as it does for us.,After all, it was her sister. 

Thanks, we are ok and all has tipped back to normalcy.  Well, unless Blizzard is mentioned in a conversation then I get emotional.  Doing the tribute in my sig helped a lot.

Dyan, I am so sorry about Bubblegum.  Every time I went to your thread, I would get teary-eyed and emotional and could not bring myself to respond.  Through you, Bubblegum is very much part of my Great Dane family and I do grieve her departure.  So sorry and so sad because she was so very young.
