When I lost you little Yorkie, Max, and then my Mini Dachshund, Maddie - I would say their names out loud for a few months... Just hopeing that their death was a bad dream. I only did it for a few months. Sorry I'm not of much help. But I understand your pain! I hope I was able to help. Our pets are family members and it's a terrible loss to us when we lose a pet, a loved one. It's like losing a child to me - I grieved for a long, long time. And still miss them so badley. But I know they are healthy now and waiting for Mama to come be with them some day. I know I will see them agian!
