As I mentioned back in January, I sent my dog Gilmour across the rainbow bridge. When that happened, I was more than a little concerned how that would impact my other dog, Lainie, who followed Gilmour everywhere. She had a lot of isolation anxiety and I was worried that she'd go a little crazy if left alone, and destroy my house like she did shortly after I brought her home from the Humane Society almost a decade ago.
That hasn't been the case at all. She's happy, mellow, and perfectly content to lay next to me while I work. When I walk her, she's off leash, never running too far before turning around and checking in. She used to be wary around other dogs, and now she's happy and outgoing. She still gets nervous during thunderstorms, but even that seems less traumatic than it used to be. It's wild what a mellow, happy, outgoing girl she's become over the last few months. She's really coming into her own.

Pets become loyal friends... I've only had two that were useless- Buddy- who must have had something wired wrong in his brain because he was the sweetest dog then one day he just went totally off the rails - attack style- then 5 minutes later he was acting like his usual sweet self.
And Barney- I swear that dog was the doggie equivalent to Dueling Banjos Inbred Wrong Turn idiots. I cant even begin to explain how clueless that dog was.
Every other pet we owned was absolute besties and loyal to a fault. One even saved my life when I was 3....
