I guess you and I are different in the sense that I work all day, so Davey spends a lot of time in doors...but I totally see why you would be worried.
Off topic question - did you pay that much with insurance or without? |
I paid that much without insurance. All she did was jump off of my hand from about 4" above the livingroom carpet when I was setting her down. She's impatient and doesn't wait until all 4 paws are planted on the ground before taking off like a rocket. The accident just made me realize how extremely fragile these little ones are. Her surgeon warned me that if that leg is broken again, he doesn't believe there is enough "good bone" to work with, and he won't be able to fix it again. Needless to say, I'm super duper careful now. Lesson learned. I use to have a Rottweiler/Lab cross before I got Missy, and she was injured at a dog park by a Cocker Spaniel. The CP grabbed her back leg as she was running and tore her meniscus. I dunno...I guess that I'm just more comfortable with a controlled environment and socializing my dogs with other dogs that we know well through friends/family. Plus, as others have said...there's always the risk of "kennel cough" etc. Missy won't be getting the kennel cough or rabies vaccines because they aren't required by law in my area.
"Skinkids" is a term that I learned here on YT
