Oh Tanya..I am SO sorry for your tragic loss. Bloat is the one thing that causes me the most concern with both of my larger breed dogs. It is such a sudden and frightening thing. My heart is just breaking for you. Rocky sounds so beautiful and loving. And of course, he was your best friend. Like you, I and many others here have had to deal with the loss of our precious furbaby. The pain can be almost unbearable. Please know that we are all here for you. I am truly at a loss for words. I am so glad you have your little schnauzer there to comfort you. But I know we all have one who is our truly special one. Our "Dog of a Lifetime." Please know that everyone here shares in your pain and sadness. We all grieve so for each other's loss. You are in my heart and prayers. You and the beautiful, beautiful Rocky. Love Sandra
