More from Cracked

[draggonlaady]

You all remember Cracked, right? With the 3 huge, completely untrained dogs? Well, it seems that the dog I looked at for limping is still limping. So she sent me a cd with a video of the dog on it. Receptionist told her before I watched the video that very likely all I'll get from it is confirmation of which leg he's limping on, and that if she wants to know what's wrong with the dog, we need to see him back--not on drugs this time, so I stand a chance of getting a reasonable pain response when I examine him.

Just got the video in the mail today. Watched it tonight, and between the dog being on the other side of a railing, spending 1/3 of the video laying down or urinating on something, and the owner trying to get the dog to move by 1) throwing frisbees at him, and 2) baby talking in a most annoying voice, guess what I could tell? You got it--he's limping on the right front leg. But I knew that last time I saw the dog (23rd of last month), when he'd been limping on it for 2 weeks already.

So I guess I get to see the dog again on Friday--with any luck, I'll even be able to convince Cracked to leave the 2 bitches in the car again. But I'm not betting on that.

if it wasn't for the fact that the dog is hurt, this would sound funny. Poor dog didn't get a chance to have a decent owner. When people want a dog, they should go to the kennel, shelter, or pet store, etc.... and stand in a area, and have all the dogs there released into the area with them. ( provided they don't attack on sight) and the dog that comes up to the person is the dog for them.
