So sorry to hear about your sweet little puglet, Cassie! This was shocking news to read after being away for the weekend. I sure hope that she recovers soon! I can imagine how frightening this was/is for your family! RachelJ is right, you sometimes don't realize how much you love your pet until something happens to them. I know I was so terrified when my cat started vomiting blood after getting routine shots! I felt so helpless and all I could do was sit on the floor and cry and pet him during his bouts. The vet didn't seem concerned and said it was like a reaction that a human would get to a tetnus shot. Now, that seems a little more serious than that to me!! He's fine now, but I sure did have quite a scare!! I'm just wondering now if I ever want to take him for shots after that experience!
I'm glad the lady with the lab took responsibility for her dog's actions (like an owner should), but I do agree that if she knew her dog was toy aggressive, that it shouldn't have been allowed off leash or around other dogs. Like Aly said, that's definitly an accident waiting to happen, and poor Cassie got caught in the middle! Give her puppy kisses and purrs from my babies. We're thinking about you!
Karen, what a devastating thing to happen. Especially for it being a "non life threatening" injury. So sorry for the all-to-soon loss of your pet. I'm glad Cassie can recover in the presence of her family.
