Thread: Dog got run over tonite

WooHoo!!!

Heeey Khos.

When I read your thread a chill went through my spine.When you are involved with ambulance work for 18 to 20 years you don't like to hear about things like that. It don't matter if it is family member or pet it still affects the same way.
I am glad she is ok .

Cheers Nev

Yeah I'm also very glad she is back home with us , when the VET told me last night there is a chance they may have to pull the plug on Jasmine , I was an absolute mess , anyhow it's good to hear from you Neville.

I sincerely hope the dog makes it and next time it isn't allowed near a road..yeah.

thanks Dawg , she has suffered enough mate, we're completely at fault , when we both walk the dogs at night ( except last night ) we have em both on a leash right up till Loftus road and because it's a quite street , we let them walk with us without a leash for a short period , also gives them a chance to go to the Toilet etc , and normally if I hear a a car coming etc I called out to both of them to come over near me , grab them till cars are gone and continue walking , but the misus luck ran out last night . no excuses mate I know , they should be on a leash all the time , and that's the LAW.

I have finally raked up the courage to look at this thread, and I am very glad she is doing OK.

I have lost two dogs in the last few years, neither to accidents - one just died in her sleep, the other had a seizure of some sort, and I made a record time into town (about an hour away) after talking to the after hours vet on the phone, but when I got there all she could do was offer to carry out an autopsy.

However, my niece living a few kilometres from here had a dog who was an escape artist, she kept on digging under the fence - as she lives on a service road adjoining the highway, you can guess the rest. Then her brother, who lived next door to me, his old sheepdog insisted on accompanying him out to the paddocks, even though he could no longer jump on the back of the Hilux. And he always insisted on running in front of the vehicle, below the line of the bonnet from the driver's point of view. He was killed instantly one day when he got a bit slower.

I also was avoiding this thread - but glad to hear that Jasmine is recovering and its more of a happy ending in sight.

Our dog has been trained not to go on the road without a command. He pulls up as soon as you reach the kerb which was a bit of a surprise for a mate who took him jogging one morning. A 47kg Ridgeback can bring you to a stop pretty quickly when it wants to.

Yeah, I feel the same way about kids too.

Hey Disco Owner,

How's Jasmine doing?
