a bit of sad news

dear readers, this is a short post. it is just to let you know that all the peeps' efforts to find a home for my lady friend came to nothing. the kind man in devon changed his mind about having her. one of his lady dogs has just had a litter of puppies and he felt he couldn't take on a dog with such special needs. the peeps were in something of a state. clearly they could not keep a dog that has bitten members of the family 3 times but there was a real reluctance to give up on her.

however, last night herself got out of bed and my lady friend bit her badly on the foot. it bled a lot so hopefully it will not go mouldy like the hand did. and herself is still on anti-biotics for the hand anyway.

so the peeps will be taking my lady friend to the vet today to have her put to sleep. although i will miss her i will sleep much better knowing my peeps will be safe again.

Oh no, I am so sorry it's come to this. Are there no other options at all?

My thoughts will be with you today.

oh, poor thing. i do agree, though. sometimes things have to be done that we don't like to do when animals go awry.

I'm sorry for you guys. That's one tough decision but the right one, I think.

On the bright side, I've bitten my husband more than three times on his foot and I have managed to get away with it. Whew!

best,
erin

I am so sorry. As painful as it was, it sounds like it was the right thing to do. Biting and drawing blood is serious.

Sending hugs your way.
