RIP Bella So, so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you, your OH and poor Boss. What a tragic thing to go through.

I have tears for you Dyzney cause I know how you are feeling . But you will hopefully, soon, be able to smile without tears when you think of her. I often get a smile, even though its a sad one, when I think of my Carli and Buddy both of whom I lost in the last year. Hope Mark is coping well hugs to both of you. RIP Jess.

I know how hard it is now, but it will bring a smile to your face, as the pain eases, to know that he was happy in his final years with you :D What a lovely tribute to him Hugs to you and RIP Jack

Hugs Darlin, it dosnt seem to get easier does it . :happydance: RIP Breezie

Hugs to you Chewy

So sorry Chewy :rolleyes: Hugs to you and to Elliot

I'm really glad it worked for your boy Mantis. It wouldnt work on my girl ( If she was barker, which thank god at home she isnt, shows are a different kennel of fish though ) She loves water being squirted at her. But if that hadnt worked Mantis what would you of done next? . And I'm not being rude here, I'm really curious, as I know of someone that has to go the debarking route now cause nothing else is working. And of the dogs I've seen done, none of them seem in the least perturbed about not hearing themselves or should I say not hearing them selves bark.They still bark non stop. If they were upset cause they cant hear themselves Bark they surely would stop with no noise coming out. Some dogs just bark for the sake of hearing themselves bark I'm sure. ETA This will always be the same old debate just like tail docking or circumcisions in humans I guess.We all have our thought's and wont always see things the same way. But thats life isnt it .

:D You obviously have never had a dog that barks non stop Mantis Or lived next door to one I know there would be training to stop them if you are there, but what about when you are not there .???? To be honest I used to think that it seemed cruel, but since learning more about it and seeing dogs that would drive me insane I would prefer to have them debarked than PTS, Which some I am sure have been, brcause people couldnt stoip barking. When you walk around at shows and see dogs barking non stop and no noise, now I think OH my god what must that of been like to live with. LOL Besides it is like anything some dogs are worse than others. at anything . My girl isnt a barker but god forbid I leave anything around she shouldnt get to, its chewed up and YES she is a candidate for having her teeth all removed :D JUST joking of course NOT :D

So sorry Biker girl. RIP Seth.

Hi Ruger Do you think maybe that alot of vets might just put the condition down to Gastric Torsion ? especially if the dog dies for instance? I mean they sound similar dont they?In symptoms I mean. I dont mean that they would just say it was gastric torsion, I mean that they might not look further into it if the dog has died I mean. Some of these things happen so quickly .losing my Buddy as quickly as I did still upsets me that within a few days he had gone from a happy,healthy 9 year old boy to a desperatly ill dog, and within 3 days, of tests and trying everything , having to be PTS. Thanks for this post as it helps to have this in the back of our minds.

Special hugs cause it hurts like hell RIP Henry bear you were a hero

So sorry, Kept checking to see if you had found her, As hard as it is at least you now know, Rip Rex and Sam Hugs to you Rexiam

Thanks RMC yes I think of her with smiles especially when I see her pictures or think of how naughty she was and how she would throw the balls in the clothes basket on top of the clean clothes cause I wasnt throwing it quick enough for her,she was a sweet puppy.Poor old Buddy she never let him rest I can just see her running him ragged.Pupies they never stop do they.

Thanks FD and Lea. Sadly we all know how we feel at this time dont we. Hugs to both of you too, it feels like it never will get any easier dosnt it.

Thanks for your thoughts, it is getting easier to think of her with smiles though now, and its getting that way with Buddy as well, yeah they hold a special spot .

Was thinking of you Fd last night, it seems so long ago and yet the pain still feels like its only yesterday dosntit.Hugs to you. .

Thanks Freckles I didnt think it would still hurt quite so much writing this I can tell you, I cant see the bloody screen.God damn.

Well beautiful girl you have been gone for a year . I still cry so much when I think of you. its raining again today the way it was when you left us. At least you have your Buddy boy with you now too. God, both of you in such a short time. Hope you have all the balls to chase, that you want, and dont give Buddy too hard a time miss you both so, so much

Hugs to you
