In reply to the discussion: My daughter's dog was hit by a car last night [View all]tavernier
(12,382 posts)38. The one in the dog house is my SIL.
He was the in charge of the animals while my daughter was at the store. They live on a farm, a fair distance from the road, so he didnt leash him walking out to the barn. They have two other dogs who behave well and stay on the property, but this is a new acquisition, and he is still very puppy mannered, full of desire to explore. And its my daughters dog, so she was climbing the walls when he called her from the vet. Im betting the mood is very somber over there today.
