Yes he's had his teeth checked and we're going to have to get a second opinion. He is just miserable. He is sad, he's depressed, his eyes are tearing sometimes like he's crying. We'll take him for a second opinion. I'm so sad. Boone was not a replacement for Graham, I'm afraid he might think he was. Boone and Kersey are very bonded, and Kersey does't pay much attention to Graham anymore since Boone came home. His life is so different, but we still give him the attention he used to get, but he doesn't enjoy it anymore. He growls at us when we try to hug or kiss him. Every time. He never wants to be pet or loved on. Every time we do it anyway, he growls at us. Whenever Boone so much tries to submit to Graham, he gets a verbal lashing from Graham.

I am almost positive Graham's problems are behavioral, not health related. He has been checked over and the vet said he is a healthy animal. He has perfectly sound movement, great teeth, heatlhy, glowing fur, and his eyes are bright for a dog his age. I have no idea how to pull him out of this miserable depression he's in. It's almost like he doesn't even like us anymore. He is 12 years old now, and per his physical health, I would have expected at least another good 2 years out of him. At the rate he is going, he is declining rapidly and I'd be lucky to get another month out of him.
