Thank You all for your kind words. You know, anyone who says animals dont understand death never had a pack of dogs. We had 2 labs and a pointing Griffon. On his last day the old boy was pretty close to the end I think. He spent most of the day just laying on his pillow. What was surprising was our young lab spent alot of time just sitting with him, at one point he actually curled up beside the old guy.
When we brought him home we laid him out in the shade and let the other two come to see him. They ran up but you could see the minute they knew he was dead, their body posture changed.

I have seen this firsthand. I think it helps them understand.

The old hound has crossed to the other side!  Fret not, for they will all be waiting to hear your horn, or call when you come across!  Raise a glass, and smile, for the puppy just galloped into The room, looking for you!  Btw, I got to geta tissue and dry my eyes.  We have all probably had to decide it was time to let go!
