Purgatory would be a good description of the feeling. I've only had that kind of hole in my chest one other time in my life.

Those are the best kind of dogs!
The kids. Jack and Bullet. The little guy Jack was a rescue. Our "lemon." A fortune in vet bills to get him right. But he's been worth every penny!
This guy right here. Still goofy in his old age.
We had a pretty big scare today... thought we were going to loose our old boy Gumbeaux to a case of bloat. I still don't think he's completely out of the woods yet, but he seems to be better than he was 12 hrs ago. Please keep ya'lls fingers crossed for him. Thanks.
Yes, all good thoughts your way.
Hope everything works our!!! Fingers crossed!
*** UPDATE ***
Gumbeaux seems to have pulled through. Still watching him closely, but he is doing much better today than he was yesterday at this time.
He puked up a couple rounds of rodent bones last night... no doubt a groundhog or a squirrel. (Too big for a mouse or mole) He's not normally one to nose into things, and I think this old dog learned a new lesson the hard way.
I'm just happy the incident didnt end him, because it looked close to that. Thanks for the thoughts, prayers & support.
I'm very happy to hear that! Please give him some cuddles from me :D
That is very good news!
Good news indeed !
Beautiful eyes!
One of the best threads here, but dormant too long. My best buddies have been on here before, but joined me on the deck right now while I relax and procrastinate - I’m really wanting the giant burger I’m going to grill, but too nice a day to rush it. Just trying to get this one going again. 
This here is Johnathan Hank Cash, or Hank to his friends. He’s a handful of a pointer/chocolate lab mix. He’s just a touch bigger now at almost 50lbs, but he’s camera shy and doesn’t like my pipes too much. He *does* really love the taste of boots, though.
This here is Jasper. 122lbs of sweetness. He enjoys sitting out on the front porch while I smoke my pipes.
