I'm pretty sure she works as a groomer at Petco and I think this happened during a grooming job if I remember right.

Wow, that's really awful. I hope they pay you back every red cent - you deserve it.

I am actually going to do a few different things. Main thing is though on all of them I am my own boss. I am going to do mobile grooming. Go to peoples houses and groom for them that way. I have really built a clientel in the past few months so I think things should go well.

I am also going to start doing landscape design. I love gardening and working with plants and peoples yards. I already have a BA in Art. So I am going to take some basic plant knowledge classes at the tech school here. I have a close friend who runs a landscaping business and he said that when I am ready he has a job for me. He has been looking for a designer for awhile now. Alot of people are getting far more interested in landscaping than they used to.

And last but not least, I got asked by a former employer of mine if I would come back to work for her. I said no I wouldn't work for her but I would work through her and she would get a share of my profits since it would be her barn that I would be working out of. This is a little secret of mine that non of you know but I used to train horses. Show horses to be exact. I gave riding lessons and all that good stuff. So now I am going to do all the same stuff just for myself and 10% will go to the barn that I will be working out of.

I am sorry to hear about petco but I am impressed at all the other things you can do. Thats awesome. You shouldnt have much problem keeping occupied! Maybe the stupid dog biting you was a blessing in disquise?

My advice: Don't do anything physical that will involve your left arm (where the bite is at). This can/will affect the outcome of your compensation from Petco.

I'm not sure if you are planning to also get monies for your now "affected" style of living, because let's face it...your arm is not 100% anymore. With that being said, you should be compensated.

And IF you were to do anything like landscaping (which involves both your arms), that can greatly affect how much you can receive.

Avoid all physical activities involving your left arm.

I show thoroughbreds, warmbloods and fresians. Dont really do much with 1/4 horses. I did when I was young but not anymore.

It was a dog that I was grooming. The owners are not responsible but Petco is since I am an employee and it is work related. The owners however felt horrible and are going to pay for the plastic surgery to remove the scar.

Ponyup · 08-11-2005, 11:49 AM

my jumper was part thoroughbred. We have a brood mare right now that is all thoroughbreed.

I have to go to some classes and stuff before I start anything. I wont do any more than I need to right now but I am not going to milk it for more than it is worth. I am a very honest person and all that I want is for my medical expenses to be paid and for my lost wages to be covered. That is it. I dont want anymore than that because I am not one to take advantage of something and I am not going to make my life stop because of this law suit.

I am sorry things didn't work out at petco. It sounds like you've got a plan though and will be okay. Good luck.

Kelz · 08-11-2005, 02:55 PM

i'm sorry to hear that! I think your doing the right thing by sueing them..i would be too if i was in your shoes! There's NO reason anyone should act like that!

txshopper73 · 08-11-2005, 03:12 PM

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with them. Seems that everything is fine till an issue like this comes up. Then, they turn like you're worst enemy. I hope that all of this gets settled either in or out of court. Best of luck to ya~!

babi1542 · 08-11-2005, 05:41 PM

I am sorry about what happened to you, but I am glad that it is not keeping you down. You are very talented and I am sure that whatever you decide to do you will succeed!
