I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts are with you.

My dog Rocky was very restless the evening he bloated also, except since he had bad hips & had two good play sessions that day, I just figured he was sore.

I feel so guilty because he kept waking us up all night to go outside, he must have felt better out there. It wasn't until about 4 am I heard this terrible moaning & ran down & there were piles of what looked like beaten egg whites, that's the best way to describe it, very foamy, that he had been vomiting.

Years before that my neighbor's basset hound died during bloat surgery. I really read up on it and always thought I was being so careful, but Rocky was in the high percentage, male, over ten, GSD, so the odds were against him.

I am so sorry for your loss.

It's been 6 months and I still miss Nenya terribly. I sometimes find her toys around the house and break down and cry. I visited the local SPCA last week to take a feral cat I rescued to a spay/neuter clinic, and fell in love with a dog that had tagged as vicious. I ended up going back three days later and adopting her. She's not a GSD, nowhere near even in size, shes a 20lb Brindle Boston Terrier, but she has a huge heart, and can really put a smile on my face when I'm down. As far as vicious, there's not a mean bone in her body, she was just terrified in her cage at the shelter. I just wish I didn't always compare her to my Nenya in both good and bad ways.

Kudos to you for adopting another dog. As this little one weaves her way into your heart, you will probably find yourself comparing to your beloved Nenya a little less each day.

I am sure that Nenya is smiling down from the Rainbow Bridge knowing that you have brought another doggie friend into your life.

All the best!

I'm so very sorry for your loss, but glad that you were able to save a life and go forward with lots of fond memories of the past.

I'm thrilled you did it!

Life is too short to hold back on love!!

God blessings!

the important thing is that your new little companion puts a smile on your face. some day another german shepherd dog will come into your life (because once you've had one there is nothing else quite like one), but right now it's good that there's a little bit of joy to replace some of the sorrow. love always wins over pain. take good care.
