Dave, the sentence that you wrote below is just simply and perfectly beautiful! It is true for those humans we love as well...

As far as our doggies, I'm watching Caesar to see if there is an answer coming from him. We've never before had two dogs of the same type and size so they could play with each other and have companionship. His daily routine is the same...except for doing little things like yesterday, actively yesterday trying to find her outside. He continues to sniff their various animals, and the huge bears they sleep on. This morning, he sat this side of the slider just watching. So he is still in the moment but also seems to remember. He isn't as peppy as he usually is.

But then again, like you and SS and others have noted, they do remember things like "when we get close to home in the car, they ALWAYS know we're a block or two away" or "when hubby is coming home and rounds the corner about 1 1/2 blocks away, both of them ALWAYS heard or sensed hubby was nearly home." I've wondered if that was because their sense of hearing and smell was working....but then again, it could be both of those and memory.

The grief that we feel when they die is the price we pay for all the love we got when we were in their moment.
