She's not ready to say goodbye :(

Pet lovers who have no family, friends, or human of their own can attest how they grieve to the extreme, how they feel empty, and what a huge loss they have. My mother is one of them. Aside from losing his dad this year to a massive cardiac arrest, her constant companion and therapy passed away before Christmas. Based on my observation, she is more hurt when her fur baby went to the rainbow bridge in December 2020. She joined Reddit and the Ontario Pet Loss Support Group. To her, our pet is not just a dog. He is her too, her family of which I agree. The bond, companionship, unconditional love, genuine friendship, and protection our gave my mom are amazing. So I fully understand that after eight months, she is still in immense grief, depression, and emptiness.

KARL used to bark at me when I tried to talk or hug my mom. He thought that he's human and I am the dog . But I kinda miss him I just don't tell her because she will surely burst into tears again .

We still have two bunnies named Kirby and Thumper who Karl babysat when they were little. Both of them miss him.

First of all, welcome back, dear! secondly, I can relate to what your Mom feels. I really believe that dogs are men's best friends. Their loyalty and love is un-equaled . That is why even though I love dogs, I didn't get me another one after "scoob" passed on. The pain is just indescribable...

Pets would normally replace the love we miss and lose. And they give loyal dedication and company to the person who feeds and takes care of them. That's the instinct they have and goes as far as giving protection to their master. That is why sometimes it is better to keep a dog as your constant companion than have someone else. But the dog will not always and cannot give the true care and attention like a human being.
Each time I lose a pet, the pain is so hard to bear. It does break my heart. However, no matter how hard I am able to get by when they go I still look for a pet who I will take care and attend to. They are part of my family as always.

I do hope your mother is past her grieving process. I know it's not just a dog because I had a few of them while growing up until college, and I still miss them to the core. They give us a lot to remember.
