Right now, she annoys the heck out of him. But he's been pretty good about it. He'll play with her as long as his patience holds out, then he walks away.

He is acting a little "off". Has become very "needy" if thats the right word. Is afraid to let us out of his sight. Sits right under my chair at the computer or the dinner table. Sleeps right up against me all night long... (tough in this heat we've been having!) Greets me when I get home from work, like I've been gone for 6 days instead of 6 hours... I know they have no concept of time butIknow its fromVicky going away and not coming back. I'm spending lots of extra time with him. He comes in the car with me (loves that!), I take him on walks without Skye (likes that too!). So I'm sure he'll come around. He just needs time.

Now this is weird... Last night,I dreamt of Vicky and woke up. I sat up and thought I feltVicky standing next to my bed. And Aries was sitting up on the edge of the bed, staring at "nothing" in the darkness right where I thought Vicky was. He was trembling and making very quiet, whimpering noises... then he came over to me and started licking me and nudging me... I ended up holding him for about 20 minutes til he calmed down and went back to sleep. I know you'll think I'm nuts... and I'm OK with that... (LOL!) but I think Vicky wanted to let us know that everything was OK. Her presence was peaceful and Ifelt like Aries was happy this morning. (So now you know I've totally lost it...)
 
Congrats on your new baby! I've only ever seen one Gordon in person and it was an absolute doll. We do get a lot of english setters into board, though, which surprises me. I never thought of them as being "popular".

But about seeing Vicky, you're not crazy at all. We constantly hear our late dane (she passed two years ago) bark. I see cats out of the corners of my eyes. Sometimes I'll hear or smell or touch something and I feel them near me suddenly.

I hope the new baby girl is helping you heal. As Sonja Fitzpatrick says (I probably spelled her name wrong.) You never get over them, you just get used to living without them.

Best wishes!

Maybe she needed to tell him it was ok and not to worry when you are gone for a few hours. He is beautiful and so is she I love the pic of her asleep with your husband. They are beautiful dogs Kathy :D
