Sorry to hear about your loss. I think the others are right on letting them see her body...that's my first instinct.
When Sport my chow mix died, the kitty did not get to say goodbye and looked for her everyday...looked at me asking for a year. He quit doing it when I brought Logan home. He acts like he thinks he is Sport...seriously.
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.
I also wanted to thank you for bringing up your question. We're going to be in the same position as you in next couple of months with our 15 year old mutt Tasha. We're also trying to figure out how to help her other pack mates deal with it and you and everyone here helped clear that up.

Thanks everybody - your support and information has been invaluable. I let Dante check out her body yesterday evening and just as you guys said, he sniffed her all over and then came to me and my dad for a little petting, and then went back and sniffed her a bit more and licked her on the chin about a half dozen times, and then accepted it and was over it.
I'm still in shock, because it was so sudden and the prognosis was so good. She was a good dog and a great friend.

Hi Connie - I'd be happy to upload a picture. Just a quick technical question: it looks like I don't really attach and upload the picture to the posting - instead it wants a link to the image. So what do you recommend - upload it to flicr or something? Or am I misunderstanding how to do this?
