Sorry hear that mate r.i.p atb cbx

[Terrier Sam 297]

Sorry to hear that mate.

 

From what I've heard about broken legs, even if you fork out the notes theres still no guarantees. Like Harry says, You've got to be cruel to be kind sometimes. I know I'd hate to be in that position but I'd also hate to see a dog hobble around in pain for months and months not knowin if it's goin to get any better.
