Missing dog

[Mick]

Animals are certainly not dumb ; our first house in Preston when we got married was a 2 up 2 down outside loo the back door was the old latch type.
we had a young cat one day we heard what we though was someone trying to creep in the back door so i went and opened the door and there was the cat swinging on the latch one paw through the handle and one on the latch this was funny to see but the shocking thing was he also had a 1/4 boiled ham in his mouth and i could hear the next door neighbor shouting, the cat had sneaked in though an open window and nicked it hehe

update.....the dog got out of the front gate, its a corner house with garden all around...for some reason the binmen came in through the front gate....weird as they always come the back way!!, the dog was taken to aspen kennels, in the end the dog warden brought him back....no charge...since the dog has been back, he couldnt walk properly, he could just manage before, poor sods legs where on the way out, also had a cough.
His cough overnight got worse, and he collasped a few times in the garden, due to his poor back legs and he was wheezing more.
Took him to the vets and the vet said it was best to put him to sleep
Now it doesnt matter who let him out because in the end he's gone anyway, everyone is upset, so now i think its time to close the thread...and as some said....END OFF!

RIP max my old boy xx

Thanks for letting us know Panther, and one of the saddest endings we have had to a thread/incident on Accyweb. Sorry for the owners and yes, RIP Max. Don't think his escape was in vain though, as lots of helpful comments for dog owners in the future.

Very sorry. x

Quite agree kate, losing a pet is like losing a member of the family, its just a pity that animals have a lot shorter life span than use humans

 

[West Ender]

I'm so sorry to hear that. Poor old dog.

 

[Lilly]

I'm very sorry to hear this too. A very sad end to the story.

Who knows? Jae was quick enough to tell us it was missing but precious little since..... maybe Panther can enlighten us.

She did and I hope you are satisfied.

 

[BERNADETTE]

Sorry to hear the sad news about Max

 

[cashman]

sympathy jae n family.

The other half had to have her dog put down just before Christmas, so sad to hear your very sad news and know how your feeling

I had to have my dog put to sleep earlier this month, he had cancer, and it was the hardest thing to do. He was my dog, and my companion. He helped me through it when my Mum was so ill.

To the people who have called Jay for whatever, I hope you hang your head in shame. It's all too easy to hide behind a computer screen and say what you think rather than to peoples faces isn't it?

I'm thinking about you Jay and your dog, and my thoughts are with you

I'm really confused by what I see as accusations and blame on this thread.

Most people do not walk out into their garden to check that their gate has been closed by the postman/bin man etc before letting their dogs out. They'd just open the door and the dog would go out.

It IS bad manners to leave a gate open if you have had to open it to enter. ANYONE entering a yard or garden etc should know better than to leave a gate open. Forget about bad care of pets, I think some people need to have been brought up with more manners!

The dog warden DID do his job but it is ridiculous to demand £70 is paid IF the dog has a collar on. If it hasn't then from what I understand the dog is a stray and causes problems with returning it to its owner and so on. The council are clearly using this as a way of getting money out of accidents and that isn't right at all.

As for children going blind from dog waste, it is made worse by children following bad hygiene routines after playing outside so again, perhaps parents need to to be more thorough with teaching their children hygiene and manners and so on.

I can't actually believe how insensitive some of the people have been on this thread. Yes Neil you work in the park and I imagine dog waste gets on your nerves, but at the end of the day Jae and his family have been really responsible dog owners and as a result have had a happy and well looked after pet for a long time. He might be gone now but he died an old and loved pet and I think it is pretty insulting that there have been rants about bad pet owners in this thread when they've been fantastic with Max.

That sort of attitude to dog ownership is what caused the thread to wonder like it did. You are responsible for your dog. If you allow it outside unsupervised it is your fault. Not the postman, binman, takeaway menu delivery bloke or not even the fault of the JW's that wanted to give you a free Watchtower. It is your resposibility.

I think of it as a fine for breaking the rules, just like dropping litter carries a fine.

Is it not only insensitive to be discussing it now?

Yes Neil you work in the park and I imagine dog waste gets on your nerves

I don't work in the park. I volunteer my own time to try and make the park a better place for us all to go and enjoy ourselves in. Yes there is a dog mess problem in the park but it is relatively small compared to the number of dogs in the park. Most owners are responsible when it comes to cleaning up after their dog.
