Tanya, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how bad it hurts, especially since Rocky was taken from you so suddenly. Bloat is such a swift killer. Just recently a neighboring area GSD police dog died from it too. The hardest part for me, when my dog died, was coming in the front door (I only had one dog at the time). It was so horribly SILENT, no gleeful whining, no wagging, nothing! I couldn't stand it; it was so sad and quiet! I did exactly what Rachel did, I did my major crying in the shower. I also made a scrap book of pictures of my darlings. Then, I went out and adopted from the area kill shelter. If I couldn't save her life, then I would save another dog's life. Hang in there. Think of the fun times. It gets better, but the pain never goes away completely. My heart is with you.
Sue
