It's official. Doyle is depressed. I can't imagine what he thinks. We go away for a few days, we bring him home, we're hysterical and the cat is missing and then suddenly The Boy and I are sad all the time and Hitler is no where to be found. How do you explain to a dog what happened?
I've done a lot of research online and found out that there are a lot of people out there who believe depressed dogs should go on Prozac. That's frustrating.
Instead of drugs we've decided to spend lots of extra time and attention to him. We're only going to places he can go with. We have also put in to adopt a puppy. Even though I love cats, it's just better to get another dog. For Doyle and for us both. We're hoping to get this beautiful St. Bernard in Illinois. We'll see. For now we're just taking it easy trying to adjust to the deafening silence.
