Now, it may be me .... but .... how's the wife ??!!
Shaken up but okay Bobo, thanks for asking. She's full of remorse, blaming herself for the dog's plight. Silly, since it was a pure accident cause by the dog diving through her legs and tripping her, but........she's a woman so...... :roll:

This week the wife took him out for a walk round the block and he got all excited and dashed between her legs not more than twenty yards from the house. Wife tripped over the lead and landed on top of him and broke his leg in two places. Complicated operation, bill over £1000 already and will get bigger.

Thank fxxx we insured him at super-cover and paid the premium up front. If we'd paid monthly we'd have had no claim. If you have pets, Insure them. Gutted for the pup who's a little villain and who's now totally bewildered dragging a large cast around. Not half as gutted as I would have been at the vet's bills. Bet the insurance company love me and Alfie (the dog) already. Learn the lesson folks and don't get caught out :roll:
Reminds me of when a skunk ran up my girlfriends skirt on holiday in the USA, "get it out, get it out" she shrieked, "it wont do any harm" was my responce, "yeah but it fecking stinks" she wailed. i said "well just cover its little nose then!"

Thanks Tango. Got the blood test back today, and it's not Feline Leukemia, so good news so far.

Any tips? :conf:
I would say get a dog instead, much better company, find it a bit girlie :roll: to have a cat. sorry don't mean to offend anyone :wink:

As for the insurance make sure you have it from day one, because i have just had xrays done of my labrador and had a lump removed coming to a total of £550 thank god for the insurance because taxi driving does not pay well.

T'would appear that someone's moving a Geco in instead. It's quite a cute little fella to be honest (the geco, that is).

Get a goldfish Bruce. The bill for the mad Shihtzu's leg is already almost two grand. I could have bought a racehorse for that.
Now you'll see the reason for the thread. Bet the insurance company love me to bits....not. :mrgreen:

We had a dog, which we had to have put down years ago.

Got two kittens last year they have been great. You can get too attached to dogs IMO.

my CAT IS OKAY. :)

So, all is good. Just some tissue deposits that are nothing to fear. So hopefully my cats are a young 7 and 10.
