Mr T had a best friend named Lola. She was a rottie with an enlarged esophagus. She was his best bud. The vomiting got so bad we had to put her down. He is very sad right now and has shown some negative behavior. Like going potty in the house and we can tell he is upset with us. What should I do? Should I get another puppy, should I reprimand him for pooing in the house, which he normally doesnt do. I didn't know an animal could get this depressed. I just don't know what to do.

?Maybe he's still adjusting to being an only child? I would consider how long it's been since you had to put Lola down. Maybe he'll get better and get used to being without her.

We only got Lola in Dec. We only had her for 4 months. Her life was only for 6 months but she was the best little dog and T loved her so much. We just had her put down this week. He has started acting real hyper, he'll settle down and then he goes again. I think it might be cause he has no one to play with. I think I'll have to get him another baby.

I'm sure Mr T misses his little playmate.. How old is He ?? I've read that sometimes they regress with their potty issues as they become teenagers maybe this could be the cause also. just a thought! I know that lots patience is a must, as it could just be a phase he is going through.. is he crated ?? I know that sometimes when they regress they suggest that you start from square one again with potty training just like when you first brought them home.. by taking them out often and giving them lots of praise or reward when he does his business out side.. positive reinforcement.. Hopefully that will help!! Maybe some others would have some more suggestions.. good luck keep us posted
He'd prob love a new playmate.. since he misses his Lola so much..

Boxers are so incredibly sensative to loss. My fiance and I are looking for a second with the full knowledge that if one passes, we will have to get a new one shortly thereafter to help the baby left behind. If you heart can handle it, maybe a new playmate is the thing. Could you take him for play dates and see if the interaction changes his disposition? I think the pee/poop needs to be dealt with - perhaps going back to step one as a previous poster mentioned. Mr. T may also need you to give him more exercise now that his baby is gone. Just my thoughts. Good luck and I'm very sorry for your loss.
