Gutted The Season Is Long Over For Me

[Derek1962 50]

Fair play to you for carrying her all the way back down the mountain,i know a lot of people that would of killed her there and then,but it gave you enjoyment in sport and your just repaying it back,...hope everything works out for your dog.

thanks guys, i know of afew ppl myself that would not have carried her back, but in my mind she ran her ass off for me at every possible occasion, its the very least i could do. there was no way i was leaving her

 

her running days are definitely over , she has been for a major op today in which they fitted a full titanium pin on the leg, and fused the knuckle with 4 pins. they originally tried an external cage to stop the leg from twisting but with her legs so thin it never worked, so this is the last resort to savin the leg . one can only hope . thanks agan folks for the comments.

in the space of 20 min of the first 2 pics the end result was the 3rd pic. thats the last she will run , ah well, she is now gonna spend the rest of her days as a proper couch potato.

fair play for doin what i think and agree is the right thing by the dog, its not the way some would go with a serious injury on a runner but for me its the only way.

good on ya

sad to see her like that D . im sure between your mrs and the kids, she will love the easy life.

 

if you interested in goin out with me and my mutts give me a bell, would be good to catch up.

 

whats your plans ahead?, are you likely to get another dog?. when i spoke to tam he reckoned you had had enough and were giving up , surely not

Nothing worse hearing and seeing your dog have a bad accident got one myself broke her leg while young cost me a lot of money and v.v.nearly my freedom but afte 16/18 months and another op she exceeding my expectations by far not quantity as not quantity to go until I pass my test but what she is doing in style and more than I got her for. keep your chin up mate n good luck both you

Hi bud im using my mate Boyos connection to this site. Absolutely gutted for you but full credit to you for all youve done. Im just waiting for my bitch to breakdown then i'll be taking a litter from her & would be more than happy to gift you a pup. PM me via Boyo & i'll give you full detail of breeding etc. good luck. Fatboy

hi guys thanks for the messages, its gonna be a hard and costly road, but as i said i was not leaving her (probably cause im scared what my mrs would do to me lol) na in all honesty, id do whatever it takes to get her on the mend. she gave me her all when i asked it of her, so its only right i do the same for her in return. i know a lot of people think "to hell with keeping a lurcher that cant run after such a horrific injury" and would put her down. i guess everyone has there own opinion and views , which is fine, but for me i treat every dog iv had as a family member and not just a worker. i reckon, for me anyway, the dog bonds better and works better for me.

 

chris, im not sure yet bud, tbh , you know yourself its just not the same going out with other people's dogs when your used to having your own at your side. but i will give you a bell. tam phoned yesterday and asked if i minded running his dogs on my permissions as i would not be out for a good bit, so i made the relevant calls and he is headed there on sunday, (he has been dying to get permission for the flats) lol why dont u go with him. for the moment though im just gonna let her heal and wait n see.

 

boyo/fatboy , thank you so much for the kind offer , its well appreciated , i will speak to the mrs and get back toyou . its true what they say eh " true dog men are a different breed , they look after their own" you definitely come into that category . i will pm you my number , and thanks again

[staffs riffraff 1,068]

Good luck to you both I had mine fixed as she was such A GOOD dog and was prepared to keep her as a pet or very close friend or family have her as a pet and so glad I did atb

. its true what they say eh " true dog men are a different breed , they look after their own" you definitely come into that category.

 

 

here here d, i second that i will give tam a phone tonight. will keep my eyes pealed for anything round my way for you .

[djs7547 104]

a wee update and a question for you all

 

iv just returned from the vet, and he says

 

" mr @!"$@ its looking likely that the op is binding, although there is major discharge from leg. the main problem though is her leg appears to be rolling inward as if the pin has moved or in some way twisred. if it keeps going her toes could end up pointing backwards, though still be able to walk as her knuckle has been fused. "

 

has anyone ever encountered anything like this? as iv never came across this before.

[doyley 116]

Very sorry to hear that mate hope all goes well with the vets atb jamie

[djs7547 104]

cheers guys just got to keep fingers crossed and hope for the best.
