Ladies and gentlemen I bring you the latest lunacy from Italy, don't tell our unions !

[bookbinder]

Just as you think that the world couldn't get any dafter...

[Tilly2]

I hope the dog's now better.

[ladybirder]

Brilliant. That's really cheered me up. Thank you TTT. X

[Old_Geezer]

One would have hoped the dog insurance covered a stay in the kennels being cared for.

Otherwise, is it "Bring your pet to work" day yet ?

[ToraToraTora]

i hope so OG, I've got two jacks!

[ToraToraTora]

that's jacks mikey not jags!

[ladybirder]

Two Jacks TTT? That's a recipe for disaster I would have thought. I've got one and he's bad enough.
Seriously - fantastic dogs, never a dull moment.

Now that the story's out the poor woman is bound to get hounded by the press, but they really should paws before doggedly harassing her.

I bet they are shaking in their boots as to the earthquakes. As to the feeding, I have a mater here who needs it and I am incapacitated.

[hereIam]

I don't think it's daft at all.

[ToraToraTora]

I guess they've been a ruff on her eh jim!

Lunacy is right. They'll be making allowances for deportees with cats next.

Completely radio I tells ya.

It may be illegal in Italy to 'abondon an animal to grave suffering' but that does not mean the employer should have to pay up because of an employee's sick dog.

Unpaid leave or taken as annual leave should be sufficient.

Every illegal immigrant must herewith adopt a dog or cat. That'll keep them safe from deportation.
