It's not like you're suggesting her dog has psychological problems...lol oh well |
I guess due to Buster's complicated start I am reading to head to the Vet's whenever I notice an potential issue. When he was diagnosed with LP I suggested to her that she should have her dog checked as well. Her dog limps and skips way more than Buster ever did and extends one leg straight out to the side to pee/poop. I think she thought I was suggesting her dog needed surgery just because mine was getting it. She came around later and had her dog tested and her Vet said the dog was fine which did surprise me given Buster's symptoms vs Lola's. But I defer to her Vets diagnosis. Lola's bone density is twice that of Buster's even though she is only slightly bigger. We became friends because our dogs just love playing with each other. Perhaps the way I worded it caused her to get defensive. So now I suggest things cautiously and am mindful of how I word things.
