Sorry to hear about your pup 98. Know how attached you get to them.

[XxKiTtiExX]

Really gutted to hear about your wee buddy 98.

Do be careful about feeding dogs chicken bones - they are too soft and can do damage. I can't quite remember, but have a feeling lamb bones are similar (I did vet nurse training 100000 years ago).

I always always told never to give a dog bones from anything that was cooked as they go brittle and can splinter.

Very sorry to hear about Sam, '98.
We humans certainly get attached to the little buggers.

Are you serious or what????

[98tls]

Looks ok considering hes been dead for days eh.

I would have been so damn well angry!!!!! What a bloody cock up and half. Glad to hear he is home safe and well.


On another note hopefully they don't bill the actual owners of the mistaken dog for the cremation (if its not what they would have wanted done).

[Mom]

I would expect there to be no account renedered for the operation. In fact I would insist there would be no charge for the op.

What a horrible experience to go through, but how cool you have that little fella home. Watch him with that wound too. I had a border collie and he licked and chewed at his belly after a similar operation and managed to open the thing right up. Had to get a bucket for his head in the end as he simply could not leave it alone.

I don't blame you either. Bet the little guy was absolutely beside himself when he saw you!
