Body Damage is Cool

Our 8 year old Great Dane had to be put down today, after his stomach bloated and twisted while we were at work.

I'm still processing the fact that he's gone. It hasn't sunk in.

For anyone with a deep-chested dog, give this a read:

Maybe it will save someone else the heartache. He was in great health otherwise.

Sorry man, losing a dog is the worst thing. Mines getting old and I'm dreading the day.

Geez, that's terrible, esp that you weren't there to catch that something might've been wrong. Bless yer buddy.

Thank you also for the link; it'll be passed along.

So sorry for your loss. Our dogs are our kids here, so I can only imagine what you're going through. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
