The other day a young female came into work with her 8week old puppy. The puppy was due it’s first vaccination, great, she was being responsible. No not exactly she was walking the puppy. Her record stated she had been warned not to walk the puppy until 7-10 days after his second vaccination as he was at risk.
The svn explains she should not be walking the un-vaccinated puppy on the pavements but especially not in a veterinary surgery.
The client looks blankly at her and says “wot you mean?”
The svn tries to slowly explain “wot she means” but the blank look shows she isn’t really getting through.
Client sits down slowly pondering the information, puppy sits on the floor, because it is on the floor already and it can have a nice sniff and lick at all those smells and whatever.
The vet calls the client in and client’s first words as she is walking through the door… “Wot do they mean l shouldn’t walk him” vet can be heard repeating almost word for word what the svn and receptionist had warned the client about.
Client goes home with puppy they are due back in 2 weeks. I stuck my head around the door to make a sarcastic comment to the vet.
She cuts me off shaking her head in despair “The puppy is 8 weeks old, and she is to scared to pick up it’s bloody food bowl, the puppy growls at her. And the best part is, she is pregnant”.
The betting is closed on what age it will get put down for attacking the child or dumped for attacking the child. The betting is also closed on what future child she is bringing into the world. We are reckoning by 10 it will be known to the police as an out of control delinquent.

Ah, modern pet owners. Where you are never quite sure which end of the lead the dumb animal is on...
And sometimes, with the best will in the world it all goes horribly wrong

"And sometimes, with the best will in the world it all goes horribly wrong"
That's a very sad story, and I think (though hard) you did the right thing.
Our local vicar bought a pedigree Labrador pup from a reputable breeder. She was fully socialised, fully KC-registered...and yet, she began to develop the ssame behaviour, and as his job entailed a lot of contact with families with children, he has to finally accept that, though an accident of genetics or chance, this dog would never be 'right'...
Incidentally, O/T, I wondered what your take on this comment was, Vetnurse: A spokeswoman for the RSPCA apologised for the error and said they would work with David to ensure the kittens have the best start in life.
She added: "It is unfortunate this happened but black cats are the hardest to determine what sex they are when they are kittens. Is that true?
Surely they have the same 'equipment'...?!
Bah! Story here.
News to me as well that Julia black being hardest to sex. Last l looked they had the same equipment.
Sounds like they made a mess up with kennels/paperwork.
Uphill l left a comment on your blog/link. I was sorry to read about the problems the family have been having and all the best for the future.
Your client = My Client
