So, our Springer goes to "day care" on occasion to give her some variety whilst we're at work. It's basically a girl who now runs her own dog walking/day care business, but does it all from her house, and she absolutely loves it there, as she gets on with the girls two Spaniels really well.
Today was one of those days and I just received the following message from her;
"So bella's (her dog) just had a horrific accident so off to the vets again! But as Bella was squeeling Poppy (my dog) was lovingly licking her face"
"She somehow got herself attached to and wrapped round the washing line and has puncture on her side and a huge bald patch! But the noise was traumatising! Don't know if I cried more at the noise or Poppy and Wilber (her other dog) were tending to her"
Warms my cockles, that does.
Animals rule.

It's like receiving a text from a child minder... "my child fell into our pond and was drowning but your child provided emotional support until we arrived on the scene... The noise was traumatising... blah blah "
;-)
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I'd be wanting to fully understand the accident and physically look over the area the dog is kept in. I have a dog myself and when I do work on the car, I more often than not need to clean up after and make it safe/dog friendly.
As I said, the girl is a friend of ours and her garden is perfectly safe and dog proofed. We've been round a number of times, so we know the area well - if it wasn't, I wouldn't send my dog there. That's definitely a non-issue.

Good result joneve
We had a Springer, he was great, so full of beans. He used to escape the garden (can't half jump...) and go roaming, we lived near fields and an old airfield. One time he didn't come back and was gone all night. He was found by someone next day. He'd got his leg clamped in a rabbit trap, one of the ancient ones with two serrated jaws. He was only found because his golden retriever pal stayed with him all night, the bloke wondered what a dog was doing sat out in this old field, but our dog couldn't be seen because he was in a ditch.
Another time he went off roaming and got lost, but made his way to a friends house a couple of miles away, they found him sitting outside their door. Thing is he'd only ever been there once or twice and in the car... it could be chance but does seem like he singled out this house, out of all the estate. Incredible sense of smell I guess.
Dogs rock.
My feedback thread is here.
Plus, my wife has put in hundreds of hours training, which has really paid off
I'd be reluctant to get another, as I don't think we'd be so lucky with having them so easy to train and not be mad as a hatter.
EDIT: terrible grammar.
