During my afternoon errands today, I was behind a guy in a pickup who had this bumper sticker: “Searching for your lost cat? Look under my tires.” You could look at that guy as a cat hater, or as somebody who thinks pet cats should be kept indoors for their own safety. ---

Yea, if she is still growing, they may want to delay a definitive surgery. They could also not have been able to find a boarded veterinary surgeon for her yet (remember, the animal was just recently rescued). ---

I dunno. I once saw a car change lanes and accelerate to deliberately hit and kill a golden retriever puppy who had already made it across the car’s lane and was about to reach safety. I was on foot and uphill a bit; the car (a Trans Am) was going to pass my position in a few moments. Did you know that some days you simply _cannot_ find a large rock quickly? ---

I’m just sayin’, you can’t be sure of the actions a person will take because of the jokes they make. Just because you don’t think it’s funny doesn’t mean someone else (who would be just as disgusted by the actual action) is a horrible person because they joke about it. ---

Yeah, but the guy had a bumper sticker saying: **WARNING: I SWERVE TO RUN OVER GOLDEN RETRIEVER PUPPIES** ---

Well, at least he warned you. ---

It only counts as a warning if he backed over the puppy. ---

No, it says right there, “swerve to run over.” So, really, it was the puppy’s own fault. Being that breed, in that part of town, at that time of night… It just had it coming. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dogs-rock-people-suck-and-a-vet-question/500955.md?page=1)
