Disabled pet saved!
- 24 Aug 05, 12:00 AM
I know you won't believe me, but I really have been trying to keep my slightly unhealthy addiction to stories about disablet pets under some sort of control - despite the evidence scattered throughout this blog which suggests otherwise. Here, here and here, for instance.
But then I happened to click on the website for Wakefield Today and saw the headline . The report tells the heartwarming story of Eddie, a 15-year-old bearded collie-poodle cross breed, who spent a night trapped in a five foot-deep ditch after getting lost. Eddie is deaf and blind following a stroke, and despite his advancing years he obviously wanted to go off exploring. His owner said: "He used to be a bit of a Houdini, escaping all the time, but we thought those days were over and done with".
Crippled Monkey is getting quite emotional. This weblog ain't just all about cynical commentary, y'know. This monkey has a heart too, especially when it comes to fellow members of the animal kingdom. *Sniff*

I'm disabled & recently lost my dog, he became seriously ill during the last 10 mths of his life. I miss having a dog, especially when feeling low - yet, one pat/stroke of my dog I always felt better. Never give up on a ill pet, they'll love more than any parson will.
