As I already mentioned, my darling Hudson the wonder dog died in the wee hours
of yesterday morning. We found her in the morning as if she were asleep, so
we'll take comfort that she went somewhat peacefully, and, very true to her
terrier nature, on her own terms. It's still sinking in, since we had a full day
with Grandma Belle's funeral, which was quite touching and lovely, so this has
all been a bit of a whirlwind. Speaking of Belle, I mentioned how the ups and
downs of Hudson's and Belle's conditions seemed to match each other until they
recently took turns in different directions, but them passing three days apart
shows they were pretty well in sync after all. I am beside myself with grief at
the moment, but I want to thank you all for your kind sympathies, as they have
been a genuine comfort, and leave me overjoyed that I got to share with all of
you so much of what made my baby so special over the years.
It's amazing how clearly he understands what happened, and I can see the wisdom of the advice to let them have this closure. He was previously more attached to Huddy than to either of us, to the extent that he was starting to get mopey because she was doing poorly. He's already back to his happy-go-luck self,
I'm glad to hear that Gunnar is doing well - I was worried about that. A few years back we had a couple shop dogs and one of them was killed (fairly horribly), and while that was bad enough, seeing good old Buster so despondent broke my heart even worse. He wouldn't eat and would barely even move. It was kind of scary. I thought he was giving up.
