. . . for dancing in the street! It's Paddy's day today and the weather is -ahem- BRILLIANT! I had to throw in the Guinness quote - I love those ads . . .
Anyway, we took a trip to Small Claims Court today to try and get money back for the costs incurred after Corrie got attacked by a (large) Airedale Terrier last year. We've been trying to get the owner to stump up the ~$2k we spent on two surgeries, another day a the vet, and sundry costs for painkiller and antibiotic injections and we've been getting nowhere. We turned up this morning and Helen was urged to try mediation (waste of over an hour!) and by the time the case came in front of the judge he only had about 10 minutes to preside over ours and another case. Needless to say the first chance he got he cut it short and asked for some more paperwork - he wanted ours and the owner's Vets to talk and agree that the costs were incurred as a result of the attack. The other owner has been claiming sub-standard care by our Vet and we obviously don't agree. I reckon the judge has already determined that she is liable for the cost and now he's trying to get the Vets to agree on the costs so he can award to us. We're back there tomorrow afternoon to (hopefully) wrap it up - watch this space!
