gravelrash 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Thought we'd lost the dog this afternoon (only 5 months old). out walking along a field with a high overgrown grassy area beside a stream, suddenly the dog jumped into the long grass and fell about 7ft into the stream with a 7ft high embankment both sides and about a 4ft water depth she was paddling for all she was worth, with my daughter screeming she was going to drown all i could do was jump in after her, grabb her by the scruff and throw her up the bank (no mean feat).Then after using the overgrown grass at the top pulled myself up. We must have looked a right sight trudging home soaking wet. Anyway no ill effects me and dog both fine, the things we do for pets eh! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

firehawk 0 Posted August 17, 2011 I had to stick my finger in my canary once to remove a broken/jammed egg. Also had to do surgery on some. Does that count? lolSeriously, looking at those big puppy dog eyes is enough for you to become attached. I would and have done anything for my pets even if they can be a right pain sometimes.
