djs7547 104 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 im not on here that often, though its good seeing so many doing well. my dog recently broke her leg in 4 places , which obviously has me gutted , its the first time in my 25 year in this game iv had a dog sustain such a horrific injury. in honest it was just a freak collision with another dog whilst chasing down prey. there is a 50 50 chance she may lose her leg so fingers crossed. i hope everyone's doing well and hope all get through rest of season without enduring what im going through . i suppose the only thing i can do is sit back and read of all your successes and look out for a pup for next winter whilst my bitch just enjoys the quiet life of just being the family pet be safe everyone 1 Quote Link to post
