I'm hurting...my dog was killed by a car today
« on: June 18, 2007, 06:05:27 PM »
I just got off the phone with the dog shelter.  My dog, Matty was killed by a car.  My N husband left the door open, since he feels entitled to not follow our "family rules" and CLOSE IT BEHIND HIM...and the dog got out, ran into the busy street and was killed.  He was 1 year old.

I FEEL SO HURT AND ANGRY INSIDE!  I called my spir Mom and she was wonderful.  She felt bad with me and comforted me, even though her daughter was there and needed her time.  That meant more than words can say, since X, when my kitten was dying in my hand, responded with "you have MORE don't ya?"

Gosh it feels good to have someone care when I'm hurting.

Thanks for listening.

I am so sorry. At 1 year, Matty was still a puppy and to think the N was involved in what happened. Pure carelessness.

I had a puppy that was killed by a car and he was less that 3 months old. I had told my daughter to keep him on the leash, when out for their 11:00 run. She took off his leash and he ran in front of a car.

Boy! That was difficult to get through.

Yours will be too!

I'm so sorry, Laura.  What a shame.  And how sad that an N's carelessness caused such pain.  They truly don't care.

Something like that happened to the family box turtle. His name was Chewy. He would like to hibernate in the winter months (whatever that is in Florida..) So we would put him under the porch, but he would require supervision. One easter afternoon, when we were sleeping the father put the turtle in his hole and left him there. When I woke up the turtle was gone. A few days later there was a smashed turtle in the street.

Please, I implore you, for the love of God, don't put any more animals in harm's way by bringing them within range of this indifferent monster.

Oh, I am so sad.  My husband would be off the chart with grief if his dog got killed - they are like one of the family.  I am soooooo sorry!

Dear Laura,
    I am so very, very sorry. My H did not kill my dog, Henrietta.However, I told him not to take her for a walk on construction sites. My S told me that he "mocked " me and took her anyway. She had to have a toe amputated because of  this..
  This is NOTHING compared to losing your fur baby.    Henrietta is as precious as any person to me ( probably more). I am sure that your dog was this  precious to you.
    I am so very, very sorry. It is so awful for you to  have to deal with this blow by your H on top of  everything else
   When my dog had to have her toe amputated, my H never even apologized. When I called him on it, he started screaming at me for nagging him.
    I will be praying for you tonight.. dear                                       Love Ami

I'm sorry for your loss, Laura.  I know your heart is aching.  I wish for you a peaceful rest tonight and respite from the pain.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
