And I didn't consider Steven's post out of line. Having just lost a dog to bloat himself he is right where I am - mourning the loss of a friend.  Play nice folks. We have too many health issues to work on to go after each other for having an opinion on which is worse. They are ALL bad when they take a friend too soon. Steven has privately and publically appologized for something I don't consider needed one. Please let this go............
