First time I've ever seen a dog do this?
He's not bringing it in to me, and he's not eating it.
He just brings it and puts it on the rug?
If someone has some insight or had this happen please let me know!!!

I went back to crate training and he was always perfect. He’ll be fine for weeks and then do it even though we have a doggy door to enclosed back yard. Any ideas on how to stop a dog who knows it is wrong but doesn’t care?
One of my miniature Schnauzers has a problem with one of his back legs. The vet says it is likely to be a trapped nerve, and suggested some Supervet style treatment on his spinal discs. I have declined because he is elderly (12), has a good quality of life and doesn't seem to be in any pain. I was interested to read that you give Bud a dose of paracetamol each day - I didn't know that you could give this to dogs. And the kippers too. I wonder why this regime gas been so successful?
I have had dogs around me all my life and could not imagine being without them. At the moment I have four Miniature Schnauzers and a Golden Retriever. One of my minis, a pepper and salt boy, is 12 years old and has had an underactive thyroid gland since he was four. He has to rake a form of thyroxine every day. If there's anyone out there who loves Schnauzers or Goldens, then do get in touch.
We share our lives with these amazing beings, who love us unconditionally, protect us without question, comfort us when we hurt and rejoice with us on our best days. I honestly can't think of to many other beings who have been in my life that shared their lives so openly and asking so little in return like my girl. It stands to reason that we would mourn the loss. In a way we honor our friends by acknowledging the very and deep bond we shared and it's loss in our life.
Allow yourself to mourn, do what ever you feel you need to do to deal with the loss and take as much time as you need to get to the day were your memory's bring a smile to your face instead of tears.
The poem rainbow bridge helped / helps me hopefully it will help you my thoughts are with you.

I belong to a number of rescue forums and am very tempted to get a little friend to keep him company, even though I'm home virtually 24/7 but then I'd need a new bed as there just wouldn't be room for three of us!!!
