My thoughts are with you Kinch, I've been blessed with animals I'd hate to lose. When it happens, I know it will be tough. Good luck and rest easy.

In my line of work, I hear and see everything from suicide's to horrific things that happen to people...and that brought a tear to my eye. God bless him...he's in a better place.

When I go to Ohio State to major in Sports Journalism, this is what I am going to do. I won't stop there, because I will try to dress and make the team.

Hang in there Kinch. I know what you are feeling. Had some great dogs of mine pass as well. Good thing is after time, you only remember the good stuff.
My advice - go out and get a puppy or another dog - right away. Will it replace Gordon? Never - but he will be a welcome buddy to help take your mind off of your departed best friend.

Sorry to hear about your loss Kinch. Don't beat yourself up. It was just his time. Give yourselves some time, and then maybe you can find a Gordon JR.

Sorry to hear about that kinch, I know how hard it is. From what you wrote, and the pictures you posted, Gordon (great name for a dog by the way) sounds and looks like he was a great dog. I think that Gordon loved you and trusted you to take care of doing whatever was best for him. It may feel like you "killed" him, but you didn't- the bloat did. You just saved him from terrible pain and misery, the way any best friend would.
