Hi everyone. I am going to request happy thoughts and prayers for my neighbors dog. I also posted this on the dog side but it can't hurt to cover all bases, right? My neighbor has a ten year old Collie named Pete who is a giant fluffball of a sweetie. He had to be boarded for two weeks while his mommy went away. She took him to the usual place and thought ewverything would be fine as there has never been a problem. Evidently they only let Pete out when necessary and as a result he developed horrible sores on his back paws to the point that they thought he would lose one of his back paws. (the bones were visable and everything ) Fortunately that didn't happen but he is going to have to have skin grafts to try to repair some of the damage. As I said he is a complete sweetie. Please keep him in your thoughts if you can...and keep all paws crossed....thanks a bunch on Pete's behalf....
