Have put this on your own thread but putting it here too as I don't want what I have to say to be lost amongst other comments:
I owe you a huge and genuine apology, ABF.
I can only say that your post didn't read the way you explained it when you returned to the thread, not to my tired, weary eyes.
And as for your dog being fine after all, the cheeky moo! But rather that than anything else, regardless of stress and vet bills. I'm very relieved to hear that she's doing well now (one thing you can't do is say I don't care about dogs, no matter how arsey I am I suppose!).
Again, I'm very sorry and will be making a donation to a local SBT rescue by way of an apology to you. I hope you'll approve of my choice.
