Re: Not a good morning. I really feel for you and everyone (dogs included) who are involved in this :'( I do think it would be best coming from you rather than someone who might give her grief about what happened. Good luck x
Re: Not a good morning. Oh Jen I wrote you a reply and I mustn't have sent it ??? I'm sure your friend would prefer to hear this very sad news from you.In a perfect world I think your friend should be the one to go round to clear the air.....to me your part in this is unluckily being in the wrong place at the wrong time and knowing both of the parties .....I don't mean that to be harsh,I really feel for your friend,she must be in bits about what's happened but if it was me I would have to protect you as my friend from needing to be involved.....let us know what happens and I hope there isn't any unpleasantness for you x
Re: Not a good morning. Oh Jen, how absolutely awful for you to find yourself in this position, I am so sad for the little JR and cross with his owners :'( I totally agree with Angela. Please take care and do keep us upto date xxx
Re: Not a good morning. What a terribly sad situation for you, poor little dog , I also agree with Angela , far better to tell your friend than have her hear it elsewhere , I feel for you, its hard .
Re: Not a good morning. I told my friend about the little dog. :-\. She was ok and said she wasn't going to feel guilty although I think she does I know I would even if it was mainly old age the shock wouldn't have done it any good. :-\ I haven't seen the neighbours yet and I've not heard any gossip so hopefully it will be ok. I think I'm probably more bothered then anybody else and it definitely had nothing to do with me I resued the little thing. Can't get the image out of my head. ??? My friend got muzzles but they didn't fit so she's waiting for replacements. I have to say I'm more cautious how my two greet the rotties which is probably daft but i dont trust them like I did. Ive always been careful I wouldn't take my dogs in her yard with them loose without her there, on my own i wouldn't bother as I've known them from pups. I've always assumed though if my friend is there or hold of them my dogs are ok. Obviously not necessarily :-\. Not quite as well trained as I thought. :-\ It is a bit of an awkward situation but it will blow over its just such a shame.
Re: Not a good morning. I`m glad that you have told her Jen, it was the right thing to do, albeit difficult for you , so sorry that this has impacted so firmly with you, but perfectly understandable too , it must have been just horrible to witness, hugs x
Re: Not a good morning. Definitely a good thing to do to tell her, though not easy..... Hope those people are doing ok after losing their dog, even though they seemed to have a callous attitude towards him.... It has still got to be an awful memory to have on their dog's last day.
Re: Not a good morning. Spoke to Mr neighbour this morning as we were walking past (on our own no friend). We discussed the weather like you do then he asked if I could wait a minute as Mrs had some plants left over for my mum. As he was walking away to get them he casually asked over his shoulder if I'd heard about Bess (little dog). I replied very sympathetically obviously and that was that !!!! I was left standing thinking wow I am the only one that's bothered !!!! Hoping that's an end to it although not completely convinced and hoping they don't get another dog. That sounds awful but there's a good chance it would be an alsation and believe it or not their alsations were always allowed to wander free as well !!!!
Re: Not a good morning. [quote author=Jen link=topic=6660.msg91279#msg91279 date=1403705102] I was left standing thinking wow I am the only one that's bothered !!!! [/quote] Wow is right! How bizarre! Well you have done right by everybody and you can't do any more so best leave them to it.....all very strange though!
Re: Not a good morning. Weird Jen, really I think you have done everything you can and good on you for caring about all parties. I would be glad of a neighbour as kind as you xx
Re: Not a good morning. That's not very nice......makes me mad when people who have dogs don't actually care about them :'(
Re: Not a good morning. It is strange, for sure, but good news for your friend, perhaps. I don't blame you for being cautious around the Rotties, what with that image in your mind. It's always a little more dangerous when there is more than one dog together, I think, especially when they live together. It's easy for that pack mentality to switch on. We were at the dog park last week and a fellow was there with his two pit bulls. Simba was playing fine with them but they were all showing more aggression than I'm comfortable with, and it seemed to be escalating, so we left. Better safe than sorry!
Re: Not a good morning. Odd reaction to their dog's death. But had they been more compassionate towards their dog I agree that it would have gone worse for your friend.... Hope it's their last dog.
