Morning All

Lovely day here so far, with clear skies and warm breezes.

Have a great day.

It's a lovely bright and sunny morning 'ere too but I'm not sure about the 'warmth' - there is some power in the sun but this is frequently overpowered by the cold wind which does not seem to want to go away.

Hicap phill · May 28, 2022

Good morning my happy family.
Hope you are all fighting fit & happy. Out this morning to finish paperwork. Later today off to see parents on the long way to Northampton. Meet up with friends for a quiet time tonight.
Just packing Motobike for a relaxing ride….

be happy in the sun…

I hit a dog on the way home just now ...

She'd slipped her lead and ran out from behind a small parked van ...

I saw a blur of tan and white, swerved right, no oncoming traffic, braked and heard a yelp ...

She ran down the road a few yards and hid in a front garden, the owners are taking her to the vet now ...

I'm in bits ...

Sorry I can't like that. I hope both you and the dog are ok.

Upsetting for you but not your fault.
Everything that can be done is being done and it really is up to the owner to learn the lesson of having a secure attachment to her/his beloved pet.

Yes, an Auto-Sleeper Mercedes auto, a step up to make sure I get some fun out of my hard-earned before the Charities get the lot - no more living and deserving relatives.

We always think that, - 'What if ......' etc. The dog should not have been loose.
It is natural for the owner and his wife to be distressed but I'm sure they will understand that an unfortunate set of circumstanses has resulted in this happening and next time they will make extra sure that the lead-to-dog connection is secure.

She slipped the collar ...

But if the collar had been measured and fitted correctly it could not have been slipped. Good collars can cost a lot of money so it is up to the owner to weigh up the pros and cons of the best one when buying. Nowadays, many people have gone down the harness route to surmount this problem. A 'spooked' dog seems to be able to break free from most collars.

marjon · May 28, 2022

Choke chain, always a good choice of collar, never seen 1 slip and for a well behaved dog is no problem but it controls an unruly dog pretty quick.

Feel for @Dippypud but not your fault or anything you could have done, please dont beat yourself up over it.
