I just attended a family wedding in Mexico. When I returned home I found that my dog and best friend Mick, had a been hit and killed by a driver in front of my home, in a subdivision and the driver didn't even stop. The driver may have even come on the sidewalk to hit Mick. Mick was the best ever and will always be remembered and missed. He was twelve years old and in excellent health. I hired a house sitter because I didn't want him to be in a kennel. I am second guessing myself and other things. I'm sorry buddy.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I really feel for you. I worry about things like this any time I am not with my dogs (kids). There really is nothing anyone can say.
:cry:

Very sorry for your loss. Don't second guess things, no one can predict the future. You did what you felt was the right thing to do.

Pets are family and I don't care what anyone else says. It hurts just as much to lose them. I'm sorry for your loss.

Dang, thats terrible. What indicates that the driver deliberately went over to the sidewalk? If that's true, then this is truly one miserable human. I believe in what-goes-around-comes-around and generally people with cruelty in their hearts are very miserable souls.

Sorry for your troubles, trail. Avoid the pitfall of trying to blame or second guess; it was a circumstance beyond your control, however unfortunate and devastating. Keep faith that through this loss and sorrow, more strength and love will be built into your life.

This is in no way your fault. Some idiot hit your dog. This is not your fault it is his. Thank God it was not a child given it sounds like a residential street. I am so sorry you lost your friend. In Ontario hitting an dog or cat and leaving the scene is a chargable offence the same as leaving the scene of any other accident. Might be worth seeing if anyone can remember a plate number or vehicle description. Just a thought.

I took my 14 year old dog to the vet two years ago.I spent a bunch of money trying to save her but she had to be put down.It was very hard to turn and walk away from her.I'm very sorry for your loss.

There is a special place in hell for people who do that to animals. Not your fault, but I know the pain. Hang in there and take things day by day.
