Bloody Drinkers And Their Bloody Glass Bottles

[Kirislin]

Irresponible dipsticks who cant be bothered to put their bottles in the bins and have no concern for what becomes of them. glass will give a sharp edge forever when it's broken, it doesn't matter how long it's been laying around And here's the result, my poor Pucky was up at the park today having a great time with my other 4, playing in the lake, when he let out a shriek of agony and came hopping towards me screaming. Rush down the vet and he's got a nasty gash up in between his pads. My poor baby.

I hope Pucky gets better soon.

Its sad that people dont think about their actions and how it affects someone else.

[kirst_goldens]

Poor baby!!

People are idiots, there is no excuse for littering other then pure lazyness

[tlc]

Oh Poor Puck, hope it heals well and gets better soon. We see lots of glass all the time and you can tell it is beer bottle glass because of the color, bloody idiots. Carma will get them one way or another!!

[Missymoo]

Ouch, poor pup!

[helen]

Poor boy, I hope he is feeling better soon. I am sick of having to avoid places with broken glass

[Red Fox]

One of the reason I hate walking my dog in town.

Poor boy thinks that "glass!" is another word for heel now

Hope Pucky recovers soon.

[Loraine]

People can be such inconsiderate idiots. Poor Puck, do hope he gets better soon.

[cashew]

Poor Puck. Please recover soon. I hate freaky idiots who smash their bottles --- bloody people who have no brains. We can't even walk our dogs without worrying about such things....

[dwynwen]

Poor Pucky ... got those sad eyes down pat though..

I swear my recycling bin has more other peoples' bottles (that I pick up in the street) in it than it does our own empties.

Ouuuuch, poor Pucky. He looks like he's being a good patient though, but such an annoying incident.

I generally train my girl at a park with a basket ball court and we move between the surfaces, grass and court. Well some moron has smashed glass all over it, so guess who is taking her broom down there to clean it up this weekend.

[Kirislin]

thanks for the well wishes, I will pass them on to my brave little soldier via kisses and cuddles. He's such a good boy hasn't even touched his bandage.

[corvus]

Aww, poor thing.

I know a kid that jumped off a jetty into the lake and landed on a broken bottle. It cut his knee right into the cartlidge and really messed it up. We always pick up glass when we see it as well.

[MavericksMission]

Poor Pucky!

Hope he has a speedy recovery.

Some people!

There is a lot of glass around our area to & there is a paddock with 3 horses, and their empty dam is full of beer bottles and gas containers!

Cuddles for Pucky

If I were you I would get in contact with either your local newspaper or Council.

A year or two back when I was walking Fraser I always had my eyes 2-3 metres ahead of us as I would commonly find smashed up bottles over the footpath. Most times I attempted to dodge them by either taking Fraser onto the nature strip or onto someone's property dodging the broken glass on the footpath.

One day when Fraser was on a walk I noticed him looking back at one of his hind legs and I looked behind me, seeing that we had walked over some small pieces of glass. I immediately thought he had some glass caught in his pad but was unable to find any. As soon as I got in the door I contacted the local paper and they came out to take photos and do a story on what was happening.

In the end, the paper contacted the Council to get their point of view and the Council mentioned to contact them if you ever see broken glass on council land (footpaths, parks, etc.) and it will be cleaned up within 24 hours. I never ended up contacting the council personally but there are plenty of inconsiderate people around - half the time it can also be due to the lack of public rubbish bins.

All the best to you and Puck and hope he has a speedy recovery. Even though we should not have to do it as dog owners, perhaps think of purchasing some paw shoes for Puck to wear as this may prevent further injury in the future? For what it's worth I belong to the City of Casey here in Victoria and that is their stance on broken glass... I will be sure to test it out when I am able to take Henry for some long walks in the future.

Hope he heals quickly and can go for walks again soon. I'm always on the lookout for glass when we walk around our lake area, my girl loves to swim so I worry about glass in the water that I can't see.

[poochmad]

Poor baby.

That is one of the worse things about where we live, there is broken glass everywhere! I don't think we have gone on a walk yet where we don't have to dodge broken glass. I wish they would stop selling alcohol in glass...not only does it injure little paws and feet, but it also makes the town (Goulburn) look quite trashy.

[OSoSwift]

Poor Puck, I hope he gets better soon. Rommi and Lewis send lots of Whippity hugs and kisses.

[Trishm]

Oh poor dear Pucky, we are sending lots of licks and cuddles to him, I hope he heals quickly, by the look on his little face he is going to milk it for all its worth.

Poor boy

Sorry to hear about his injury from the broken glass. Hoping he has a speedy recovery :rolleyes:

Some people are just inconsiderate idiots who cause lots of problems for others and don't seem to care at all!
