I forgot to rant

There is a really nice reservoir near where my parents live, or it's nice most of the time.

The problem is that a lot of kids (teenagers I mean) drive up there or walk up from the nearby village to party and/or camp out. They rarely clean up after themselves, or their version of cleaning up is to chuck all their rubbish into the water

This is where we have the problem. Max likes water. A lot. He likes to jump in and swim around.

My parents took both the doggies up there a couple of days ago and Max did his usual thing of bounding into the water. He came running out a minute later howling in pain with blood pouring from his leg. He'd cut himself on a broken bottle someone had chucked in. He's severed a tendon and has had his leg stiched and bandaged.

Luckily the vet says he's going to be ok. He just needs to rest and let it heal. Fergus has realised something is wrong and has stopped his usual play-fighting with Max

Poor boy :(

If I ever get my hands on the twattish idiots that threw that bottle in there. It could have been so much worse

Needless to say my parents aren't going to be walking the dogs up there any more

Oh poor puppy! That happened to my Dad's old dog. Sweetest Doberman I've ever met. She wound up breaking a toe and had to have it amputated. I saw teenagers do that in the park across the street one night. Broke a wine bottle right in the parking lot where I walk my dog. I would have screamed at them except it was night, there were a group of them, and I was alone with my dog.

I might go visit next weekend so I can give him lots of cuddles

[drusplace.livejournal.com]

Aw. I bet he'd like that.

[hils.livejournal.com]

He's getting plenty of attention from my parents already I'm sure. LOL!

My GOSH, poor Max!! *Hugs him gently and gives him biscuits and toys* Poor baby!!!

That's awful and people SUCK and I hope Max feels better very soon!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I hope so too. My poor boy :(

[the-dala.livejournal.com]

Oh my god! I'm glad to hear he's okay. Can you write to the city council or something about the area? That sounds like a pretty serious safety hazard.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I'll speak to my parents and see what they say

[mysticmoonstorm.livejournal.com]

That sucks. Poor guy! And that area is so beautiful. Why do idiots ruin things for everyone else?

BTW - thanks for the permission on the photo - will definitely let you see the finished product and if things work out for me to do my tradeshow in November - well I might just have to bring you a couple of bottles!

YAY!!!! It sounds nummy!

Poor little guy.

I used to teach a pre-school group, and one day a nanny brought the even younger sibling of one of the kids into class, because she'd cut herself badly on a broken bottle. In the school yard.

Hugs to your puppy.

Dad-Ra assures me Max is getting lots of sympathy cuddles and he's loving it

[flickums.livejournal.com]

FUCKING CUNTS!!!

[hils.livejournal.com]

Exactly!!

[aurora-bee.livejournal.com]

Bastards. Big hugs for Max. I'll come up and beat their heads in with you.

[hils.livejournal.com]

YAY!!!

[kazzy-cee.livejournal.com]

It's so inconsiderate to leave rubbish behind and the pollution often affect animals which don't know to look for it. Glad he's on the mend.

Dad-Ra assures me Max is doing ok but I still worry. Might have to pay a visit next weekend

[drbillbongo.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Poor Max. :/ People like that suck. I wish they knew how dangerous it is to throw rubbish into the water. I hope Max will recover soon!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I think he'll be ok. I hope so anyway

[epeters.livejournal.com]

It's such a shame that the dogs have to lose their "fun spot" because others are SO inconsiderate. I'm glad Max will be okay.

[hils.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do love it up there. Such a shame

[awehla.livejournal.com]

Aww your poor doggy and that's a shame about the resevoir being abused like that. Bet it's one of those situations where the Council can't do anything about it.
