So sorry to hear about your Dobie-Boy. I don't recall you ever posting about that. I've never had a dog die before the age of 17 years, until Molly, who was only 10 years and 6 months old. It was sudden, and it was horrible. Hugs to you.Just lost one of the loves of my life in Jan., my Dobie. He was only 10.5 yr. old and in excellent health but came down w/bloat. When I read that posting it virtually said everything I could say about my boy...
