Tom
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi - i have never been in this situation but as a precaution i would take photographs of Tom as well as his mouth showing that he has not grabbed at anything and report the incident to the police yourself. Also any statements or reports from your own vet will be useful. Am sure others will have good advice but just aware that it is best to report any potential incidents in case of repercussions.

Tom
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi just need some advice if anyone can help. On Wednesday I walked tom and we came across a cat. Tom was on the lead and was not showing any interest in the cat but the cat jumped off the wall and came after him and attacked him and jumped at his face!!! I couldn't get the cat off and people came running out of the houses as I was screaming and the cats owner started kicking at tom even after the cat ran off. I took tom home and went back to the house the man told me the cats mouth was bleedingso he was taking it to the vets. I thought that would be due to where the cat had attached itself to toms neck and proceeded to cause two deep puncture wounds for which the vet has prescribed antibiotics. Anyway tonight the cats owners have been around saying tom nearly killed the cat and they will report us for having a dangerous dog and that we should pay their vets bill! Where do we stand? Tom has not shown aggression before,he was on the lead and this crazy cat genuinely came after tom and attacked him. I am really worried about what will happen.has anyone been in this position before?

Please do not be put off by having dogs spayed in light of Corals tragic story as with any procedure there is always a risk, however the risk is very small and the benefits out way this. I worked in a veterinary practice for 11 years and saw numerous Pyometras which is an infection of the womb, which affects unspayed older dogs when the GA risk is therefore much higher, this condition is totally preventable with spaying but is life threatening, also neutered bitches have a lower risk from mamory tumours as well. This is in addition to preventing unwanted litters. It is terribly sad for Corals foster parents and negative comments really are unnecessary and extremely upsetting to all concerned those responsible should be ashamed of themselves.

This morning I discovered a mischievous habit that this pretty little girl has - picking the water bowl out of the stand, spilling water everywhere and running off with it!! She must have learned this from the master, the lovely Josh, or is it just something that these gorgeous boys & girls enjoy doing?! Megan is tiny, so affectionate she actually puts her front legs around you in a proper hug, and is a real delight just wanting to play and have fun. Big cuddles for you today. xxxxxx

I put Josh in the outside run this morning whilst I cleaned out his kennel and got his breakfast ready. Well, I was obviously taking too long over it because he decided to pull down the blanket that had been hung over the bars to dry, spread it out and promptly lay down on it!!! This boy is such a character, he is full of fun and loves to play and be just a bit mischievous!! All he needs is a home to call his own. Cuddles handsome. xxxxx

We really appreciate you clarifying that. It is so sad when we have to justify our practices after a negative and derogatory comment which had to be deleted had been made. We all strive to do the best for the dogs that are lucky enough to come to us, and this is never influenced by cost. It is a very sad situation that when you are so distraught over your much loved Bella-boo that your feelings could be disregarded purely to make an uneducated, ill informed political point scoring comment.

Just to clarify, the vets that did the operations on Coral were in Herefordshire. They have looked after the veterinary care for our greyhounds for 8 years (including the spaying of Ruby, the donor). They too are devastated at what has happened as they did everything they could to save her. She was a lovely dog who deserved a longer life, but it wasn't meant to be. They were great about the blood transfusion and cared for Ruby, saying she was a star. It was no-one's fault.

Cant wait for saturday sweetheart. Sorry we didnt have long today. I should have called but whilst you were at the vet I had lovely cuddles with everyone else. Little Josie was so affectionate & Tommy was doing his best to show me how gorgeous he is too. And as for noisy Nosey he is just adorable but sooo strong. I know you will be a brave boy when you go next week and no matter what the problem is, if there is one, just know that we all love you very much and nothing will stop you coming to live with us. We will have a chilled saturday evening with village walks and then if the weather is in our favour we will go to sutton park on sunday. Be a good boy until saturday. Collect you about 2pm. Auntie Danni is popping over to see Mel and you a bit later. Live you baby boy. Mummy, Mel & Archie xxxx

Hi Kate. Thanks for the info. I will give them a call. It would be great if they could come in on a regular basis and get as many hounds as possible to donate blood to help other greys. Maybe we can try and make sure that these tragic events could maybe be preventable in the future. Jo X

We're delighted to hear this news. We had the opportunity of spending some time with Borna at a recent roadshow and he was an absolute gem. We've talked about him a lot since then and are so pleased to hear that he's got his 'forever' home. In the short time we spent with him, he showed himself to be a fabulous boy and we're over the moon for you all. Mand & Stefano xxxx
