I am just now seeing this thread - don't know how I missed it before.
What a tragic mishap - and that's all it was - a mishap! Don't blame yourself or continue on a guilt trip - everyone including Andy knows it was just an unfortunate set of circumstances. My SIL had the exact thing happen many years ago. After that I became obsessed with checking the washer and dryer everytime I used it - and still continue to this day.
I'm glad to read tho, that he is expected to make a full recovery. Pretty scary stuff!!!
And as far as $271 for his ear surgery - that's not bad at all. My brother's big Meezer just had the same surgery after he developed a hematoma while mixing it up with his doggie sisters - to the tune of $350. I was visiting in NC a few weeks ago and took a picture after he had the surgery - he didn't get a "quilted" ear - he got a "button" ear - I had never seen anything like it! He had the buttons and stitches out while I was still there, and now he has a floppy ear. Vet said it may stand back up, but couldn't say for sure.
Prayers going out to you and to Andy for continued improvement!
