Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2005OT- Purrs for Diamond Please
Last night I had to run out rather late to pick up my hubby from the airport. On our way home, it was around 330 this morning, I accidently hit Diamond with my car. Diamond is a handsome chocolate lab that lives on my street. i took him to his house and we all went with him to the emergency vet ( I payed the bill) He fared pretty well, a broken scapula was the worst damage, nothing internal thank god. I feel so bad, he is usually never in the road and had apparently dug his way out of the back yard. So if we could spare some purrs for this guy I know he could use it. > Last night I had to run out rather late to pick up my hubby from the > airport.

Purrs on the way. And thank you for not being one of those folks on the court television shows who refused to pay any or all of the bill on the premise the dog shouldn't have been out. Sometimes they get out. (Of course my opinion on this changes a tad if the loose animal attacked and hurt or killed another animal that was secured by its owners, or bit a child.) Jill <snip> > And thank you for not being one of those folks on the court television shows > who refused to pay any or all of the bill on the premise the dog shouldn't [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Jill Greetings... Okay, I don't understand this. Yea, sometimes they get out. But guess what, it's still your responsibility as a dog owner for what the dog does when it gets out. If it gets hurt, you the dog owner are responsible. Having said that, I'd have taken the dog in to get treatment and paid for the visit myself if I couldn't find the owner. And I would have expected the owner to pay me back if they could afford to. Mind you, I wouldn't take it to Judge Judy if I didn't get my money back. lal I disagree, I hit there d*g with my car, So even though he was in the street it was still my fault had it been a person it would have been my fault so I don't understand what the difference is here. I would feel differently if this was a d*g who was always in the street etc. Then I would blame the owners but I never see him out with out his humans untill last night. > I disagree, > I hit there d*g with my car, So even though he was in the street it was [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > etc. Then I would blame the owners but I never see him out with out his > humans untill last night. Yeah, I feel that way too. It's not like they just turned him out. Regardless, you want to do right by the dog more than anything. > <snip> >> And thank you for not being one of those folks on the court [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > does when it gets out.

If that were the case I'd be after the owners for repayment. But I wouldn't take it to Judge Judy, either :) Jill We're definitely purring for Diamond. It sounds like he'll be fine. A big dog ran into my car once. He bounced right off & was fine. Katz Oh no!!! Mega purrs for Diamond. He should do well if there is no internal trouble. Poor guy :( Poor you!!! I'm glad it was not...you know...worse. That would be AWFUL. > Last night I had to run out rather late to pick up my hubby from the > airport.

I was still feeling so bad about it this morning that I stopped by petsmart on the way to work and bought him one of those great big bones (looks so big it would have to be a dinosaur bone) So I plan to try and take it too him this afternoon as kind of a piece offering. [[I was still feeling so bad about it this morning that I stopped by petsmart on the way to work and bought him one of those great big bones (looks so big it would have to be a dinosaur bone) So I plan to try and take it too him this afternoon as kind of a piece offering.]] If he's anything like the other Labs I've known, he still loves you. He probably loves EVERYone. I've never met a Lab who wasn't convinced to the roots of their soul that EVERYBODY is their best friend. Even the everybodies that they haven't met yet. ;o) But I'm sure he'll love the bone. It'll give him something to occupy his time with while he's recuperating, and he'll have something else to do besides plotting ways to exit the yard and explore without his humans accompanying him. Donna thinking of the Labs I've known that were some of the friendliest dogs I've ever met Well Donna, You were right, I took Diamond his bone, and if he knew I was the culprit he never let on to it. He hopped over to me and you would have thought he had known me for ever. He also was very fond of his Bone. Thanks for the Purrs guys, I think this big guy is going to do just fine. > Last night I had to run out rather late to pick up my hubby from the > airport.

Purrs for Diamond to be on the mend and wagging his tail soon. And purrs for you too - you know it's not your fault. Lots of purrs for the d*g and for you.  SignatureVictor M.

Purrs and tail wags for you and Diamond. I consulted with my local Lab expert (Boone, my black lab) and he said Diamond will be pleased with the bone but being a Lab he never harbored any ill will and is sorry he caused you any distress. SignatureMargaret Fine mefine@mindspring.com Margaret, Please tell Boone, thank you very much for his advice. Yikes! Thank goodness he'll be OK, from the sound of it. Purr-ayers and purrs that register on the Richter scale are on the way for Diamond, you, and Diamond's humans. This must have scared the living daylights out of all of you. Oh, and some extra purrs are being sent that his humans find a feasible way to make some changes in the yard, so he can't dig his way out again. Donna, Captain, and Stanley > Yikes!

At 5 years old, Puma (RB) suddenly discovered he could jump the fence. From then on, we couldn't keep him in. He'd jump, he'd dig, he'd find a way. We installed an invisible fence as a last resort, and that did finally work, except for during thunderstorms, when he would escape and outrun the storm.

Oh, how awful for you (as well as for him, of course). Don't beat yourself up about it - it could have happened to anyone and his owners are lucky it was someone who cared enough to bring him home *and* pay for the vet! Labs are notorious diggers, it's almost impossible to keep them inside a yard!! Hugs, CatNipped Purrs for Diamond - and for you. I know you must feel terrible.

It was always my worst fear that my dogs would escape and get on to the road. Lots of healing purrs for Diamond. Choc labs are very nice.

Sometimes, an animal just runs out in front of you and there's nothing you can do about it. Signaturemonique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!

Purrs on the way. I'm so sorry this happened, but bless you for caring and taking the time and resources to make sure Diamond was taken care of. Sadly, a lot of people wouldn't.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Hugs to you too, Holly, I'm sure you could use them! Events like that are very traumatic, but I'm glad Diamond wasn't killed or hurt too badly. It was very honorable of you to pay the vet bill, and I'm sure Diamond's family appreciated you coming right to them and doing the right thing by Diamond. Accidents will happen, but you chose the best way to stay on good terms with your neighbors. Hopefully, a better security system can be found to keep Diamond from getting out, again. Even with the best intentioned, responsible dog owners in the world, you do get the occasional escape artist. My Aunt and uncle have an invisible fence, and their four dogs stay ON their property, having learned that the fence may be invisible, but it is still real, and can zap them. (Fortunately, they also live well off the main road, and the dogs have plenty of room to frolic ON their property.) Hopefully, Diamond has learned a valuable lesson about staying out of the way of cars for his own safety! Melissa > Last night I had to run out rather late to pick up my hubby from the > airport.
