[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read all of the replies. But from experience: Just like with people. Things to take his mind off of sadness. Fresh air, walks (or even stroller rides if he can't walk far), runs (if he is young). Activities he enjoys (you may need to experiment) - try the dog park, going to PetSmart or similar to pick a new chew bone, Himalayan chew bones, games of fetch (if he likes), lots & lots of petting! Car trip to a farm or orchard, or somewhere that allows dogs, etc. basically, cheer him up, as you would with a friend. Oh - maybe a raw meat bone from the grocery butcher? I can't remember what bones dogs can have. But I think a femur bone (with raw meat on it). Place it on an old blanket or rug, as it will make a mess. Maybe put out a message on Nextdoor or your list serve, looking for a play date buddy in the yard or at the dog park? Give him a kiss & doggie massage from me! [/quote]
