> > We recently lost our male peke. He had a quick and violent run in with a nieghbors dog, and we are all devasted by the loss. Our Py was a ray of sunshine in our home, and it is the nature of his death that our family cannot come to terms with. Our female peke is so depressed, I worry about her. We are considering a new Peke pup in the future, but we wonder how much time should pass before he is introduced, and what can we do for her (and us) right now? We live on a secluded 64 acre farm, our Py had extensive behavior training, and my daughter was working with him for junior handling. We always keep an eye on our pekes and stay close by, our experience has taught us that you never know what could happen, and when it does, it happens so fast, you are helpless. I hope anyone who reads this and feels safe letting their pekes loose, even for a short time, can learn from our great tragedy. Any suggestions on how to get through this difficult time is greatly appreciated! Suzanne
> I can understand your pain. I lost My beloved Snuggles May 5th of this year due to kidney failure she was 15. her daughter Mitzi who is partially paralized, is still very depressed. she has another pack mate a terrier, but he cant comfort her. she still pines for her mother with whom she had never been separated before. I'm at a loss at how to cheer this little 12 year old back up. so I understand some of what you are going through. I feel as though I lost my child and best friend. I think it is too soon for us to introduce another dog into the household for Mitzi's sake.---Brigitte Riggs.

>An update: I waited about a month and a half, but I got a companion for Mitzi. Mitzi seems to have come out of mourning. she is moving around better and has her old personality back! I rescued a poor abused cocker spaniel and she and Mitzi are almost inseperable. the terrier pup gets delt with by the cocker (Ashley). I was amazed at how well it went and how much progress Mitzi has made. it has made all the difference in the world---Brigitte Riggs
