Title: please bear with me for a bit
Post by: Doc B. on June 13, 2016, 03:58:09 PM: Our 11 year old puppy Jettie broke his leg yesterday, chasing a bunny across the yard and into a hedge. Eileen and I are running on not much sleep and plenty of worry while we wait for a prognosis from the vet. Apologies if our response time is a little slower than usual.

For those who will ask - yup, same yard I broke my leg in 11 years ago. Not a lucky yard for Schmalles.

I hope everything works out.

Vale Jettie Boy.

I cared for a chihuahua for awhile that would howl anytime he heard bagpipes. Dogs are great!

Post by: rdonahue on July 07, 2016, 07:43:02 AM: Doc, I'm brand new around here but as a fellow dog lover and someone who lost a wonderful pup at only 4 years old my thoughts go out to you. They become like family and the loss never gets easy.
