Hello everyone.
I'm concerned about Wish. As most of you know, Onion passed away in March, and i've been watching Wish for any signs of depression. It seems lately that he is sleeping more then usual. It's hard to get him happy and bouncy. This task was never something i had to work at before. He used to fight to get under the blankets with me to snuggle at night, but now, he sleeps in the little bed beside me. I'm scared...what do i do if he is sad and is having a hard time getting over Onion. Is there an activity that can help? I spend tons of time with him, petting him, telling him he's a good boy and that i love him..he just doesn't seem to be as perky as he once was. ( He just went in for a check up and shots about 2 weeks ago and he was fine-not sick)
Could i be over-reacting? Maybe he's sleepy simply because he has no buddy to play with? Or can he sense that I'm sad and he's reacting to that? Please, i need advice. I don't want him to be sad anymore. It's breaking my heart.
Thanks for your help.
Anna and Wish *missing Onion*
