to be annoyed about this situation with neighbour and her dog?

I am 100% on the OP’s side with this, but what did she actually say to the vets? Have I missed something?

Oh my goodness. What an awful thing to do. Poor dog.

Ooh. Thank you for this!!

Well done OP. I think you’ve been more than reasonable. You e helped her to book her flight, you’ve looked after her DDog which I’m not sure I would have done and you’ve kept her updated.

Grief is awful but it doesn’t stop you having responsibilities and most people have to deal with those responsibilities whilst they navigate their grief.

Hopefully she will answer the calls from the Vet.

I think you’ve also don’t the right thing by blocking the CF.

Enjoy your holiday

Are you the neighbour? She's gone above and beyond already. Looked after the dog for free for almost a week, and has now found a safe solution, which the dogs actual owner was unwilling to do. The neighbour is a CF, grief or no grief.

Re Cinnamon Trust - Off topic for the original post, but thought it might be helpful to let anyone still reading know that all those people suggesting the Cinnamon Trust would help in a situation like this are incorrect. They are a small, niche charity with very specific criteria for who they are able and willing to help. I know from personal experience that their criteria are strictly adhered to. If you check the criteria on their website it states they only, “offer pet support to owners aged 65 and up and individuals who are terminally ill, irrespective of age.” What they don’t state on the website but explain when you ring is that they only help owners who live alone.
In my case, despite us both being over 65, the Cinnamon Trust refused to help foster our 2 dogs when my husband was critically ill in Intensive Care and I was staying in hospital accommodation on site to be near him. A friend had been looking after our dogs but her mother suddenly had a stroke which meant she could no longer help. In desperation, I rang the Cinnamon Trust but they told me they only fostered dogs in situations where the owner lived alone and had been taken into hospital leaving their dog without anyone to care for them. Even though I was staying on the hospital site to be near my husband, (who kept crashing and it was uncertain whether he would make it) they told me they could not help as I was making a choice to be with my husband rather than look after our dogs so our situation did not meet their strict criteria.

Poor dog.

op did the right thing.

so many posters posting before reading the updates!

Family members assumes you know the dogs though. It's very different watching a family members dog over a strangers dog, not to mention how the strange dog may behave in another strange place surrounded by strange people and strange dogs.

Not this.

I agree. If I was the parents I would have taken all of the dogs.

I have done so for various family members during the past.

However, we don't know the age of the parents, the size of their house, or the size and temperament of the dogs

I am not saying they Should

I am saying i am surprised
i think most parents would be accommodating to the op's predicament

Edited to say sorry, can see this had now been resolved.

Even just reading the OP it was obvious this would have been resolved one way or another by Friday.

@Dizzywizz

I can tell you for the iPad and mobile, I assume desktop is broadly similar too but I don’t have the app, sorry.

Top right is a little body shape. Click that.

click ‘settings’

now on a phone it will say ‘more settings’ near the top of the screen but it doesn’t with iPad. If on mobile phone, click ‘more settings’.

click ‘talk settings’

Now you should have a whole array of stuff to fiddle with including hiding topics, watching threads, similar threads, all sorts of stuff. My ‘number of posts on a page’ allows me to choose 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 (but I don’t think you can choose 1000 if you made your account after a certain date).

Happy fiddling!

How do you reduce the pages? I’m interested in that please. Loved it ages ago when you could put it all on one page!!!

I can't believe how many people don't read all of OP's comments.

Or that OP should pay for kennels or that kennels in the summer holidays with likely no vaccination paperwork is a simple or possible solution.

The OP is already on holiday, thank goodness.

OMG I cannot believe how many people think taking the dog to a rescue is the answer! She's obviously in deep grief and is not coping, do not surrender her dog. Put it in kennels.

On every single thread like this I just give up when people start suggesting stuff that’s already been resolved. My blood pressure cant really handle any more.

On a slightly unrelated note, did you know you can put more posts onto one page, thus reducing the number of pages you have to navigate?

OP helped her to book her flight though, so I think the neighbour is being honest about that tbh.

I have said it before but honestly this was resolved about 20 pages ago, the dog is fine,OP is on holiday..does no one read updates

The bonkers suggestion is kennels for reasons already stated on this thread such as it is likely full as it is the summer holidays, OP likely doesn't have the dogs vaccination history/proof of vaccination and most importantly, OP shouldn't have to pay for someone else's dog.

If you actually read the thread, you'd see that OP did take dog to the vets and it was all fine.

Lol

Absolutely taking the piss! Losing her mum is obviously horrendous, nobody can take that away from her, but is she honestly expecting you to not go on holiday?! Rude twat.
