one hell of a weekend

[Catherine]

What a weekend. You must be exhausted. It was your worst nightmare times two. Your dog got injured by a boarder and then the boarder turned out to be seriously ill. Boarding can be a scary business.

I am glad that you were fast enough to keep Graham from worse injuries. I wonder if Dolly had a history of aggression that they didn't warn you about. She did get in a fight with Jazz too. I hope Graham makes a full recovery.

That was strange about Dolly having something similar to Mia. It is not a common condition is it? Of course you recognized there was a problem because you are in tune with animals and you have seen it before. Dolly was sick when she came to you. She might not have been diagnosed if it hadn't been you caring for her. Maybe you saved her life.

We know now that when people say they had a bad experience with a sitter there could be another side to the story. Their dog attacked your dog and their dog was not in good health when she came to you. Those two things were not your fault and you handled them very well.

I hope the rest of your week, the rest of the month and the rest of the year go well for you.
I hope both dogs recover well. Try and relax. You deserve a rest after all that.
