So we had a playdate w/ two of our friends and their dogs on Saturday morning. We've had playdates with them before, we were at a park and all the pups were off leash running around having fun.
For some reason our friends dog Rocky wasn't loving that Charlie was hanging around him too close, Charlie wasn't picking up on the signals, we kept them entertained and apart. It was chilly so we weren't walking too much. Charlie and Rocky ended up getting in a scuffle, teeth were shown, and it was more then just play. DH jumped in to get Charlie off of Rocky (tackled him) Charlie nipped Dh, and afterwards Charlie was liming a little, but otherwise seemed fine, Rocky did as well.
We left after that, everyone so sorry/just worried about everyone. We checked in later and everyone was okay, but Rocky had a cut on his ear. he wouldn't let our friend clean it, it was looking not so great, and they end up going to the vet yesterday. So Rocky ends up with 3 staples in his ear and she has a vet bill. I called her as soon as I found out she was going to the vet, and she insists that she does not want any money, as it could have been the other way around us at the vet etc, and that it comes w/ the territory of having a dog. We feel so bad, if it was the other way around I wouldn't expect $ either, but I can't help but feel so bad.
What would you do? Send her $$, I'm going to drop off a toy/bones/card for them, but still that isn't enough.
I may DD
Re: Need Advice-Pet related
I'd bring him a treat and maybe just give her a gift card to their fave pet place if you know what it is. I would also offer to pay for the vet bill, but I probably wouldn't take the money if I were her either, so I totally hear you.
Poor Rocky and too bad they didn't get along. Do they usually get along? I wonder what happened...
Animals are so funny/weird sometimes. Our cats had a huge spat this weekend that last from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. They actually faught Friday and after that pretty much stayed away from each other Friday/Saturday and would hiss and moan if they even saw each other from across the room. We have no idea what happened to make them so angry; DH was even home all of Friday.
