Thread: Before death?

  1. #1

    Before death?

    I had a 13 year old German Shepard that recently died. In the hours before her death she would randomly dig holes (wich she never did before) and would pace around the house. This kept up until she layed down and passed on. Any clues to this behavior?

    I have no clues as to this behavior, only a guess. Could she
    have been trying to prepare herself a place to pass on ?

    My condolences on your loss.

    I have never heard anything like that before.
    It sure sounds like she was ready....
