tracey holden Webboard User Reg: 07-17-2010 Posts: 1442 Loc: UK Offline	I learnt yesterday of the terrible news my friend and and work colleague was given the devastating news during a family holiday, that their beloved Akita, Kuma died while entrusted to a boarding kennel who decided to exercise her, then allow her free access to water on the hottest day of the year here in Norfolk. Kuma died of bloat. She was a beautiful, regal and dearly loved member of her family, and a well known girl in our little village where she lived after being rehomed 6 years ago. Sleep peacefully Kuma, you were a good and beautiful girl, and everyone will miss you.

I was always on my guard against bloat & torsion with "Shock & Awe" Shaka my Akita, as it can be common in this breed...

My friends all laugh at me when I tell them I would rather drive 6 hours and leave my dogs with my breeder than put them into boarding closer to home. I know even when all the precautions are taken, things can still go wrong but I would rather have the peace of mind knowing my dogs are being well cared for by someone I trust and that knows my breed of dog.
