Now I'm feeling the sorrow. Our otterhound, who was Janet's "heart dog" as she said many times, started barking like crazy and refused to stop. When I let her out of the kennel, she ran to our bedroom door, trying to get in, and refused to leave. Now, she's one very big dog, as big as me. I finally dragged her away from the door with the assistance of my very big son. I tried my best to get her back in the kennel, but she broke away again. This time, she ran to the front door, climbed up on it, and absolutely refused to leave for about twenty minutes. When I finally got her back in the kennel, she looked so forlorn. We had a long heart-to-heart, and she told me she was just looking for Janet. Now, if this was an isolated incident, I'd laugh it off as coincidence, but our Australian Terrier, Tiffy, has done the very same thing. I guess we all miss her terribly.
