Our dog got hit by a car this evening. DW came home and she bolted out the door right into the road. She passed away on impact, with no pain. I'm absolutely crushed - she was such a wonderful dog...my baby before I had babies. I'm trying to collect my thoughts and feelings before talking about it with the kids.
Oh no! As you know we lost our dog the same way. It is horrible. I didn't see the accident but found him in the road right after. I am still not right about the whole thing. He was my baby before babies, before Sue hell before I came out. I am so sorry. There is a great book dog heaven that someone gave me it might be a good way to explain what happened to the kids.
Oh CT! I am so sorry. The loss of a pet is so hard. I was mess after Henry died, I can only imagine the pain must be so much more difficult to handle when it is unexpected.
