I'm soo sorry to hear of your loss. I too had a dog get hit. It was my puppy growing up and had gotten loose chasing the older dog -- my brothers dog. The older dog saw me and new it was in trouble and out of fear of me bolted across the road... my puppy followed and a Blazer ran right over it. As a child and still today the memory is still vivid and in slow motion. The Blazer kept going a bit. I ran in the road and picked my puppy up and sat there bawling on my knees in the road - it was still barely alive but blood was coming out of his little nose and mouth and he smelt kind of funny. The guy in the Blazer backed up and offered me a ride to vets office - I accepted...meanwhile my brother's dog barked and barked at the man and wanted no parts getting in. I finally got him in and about two blocks from the hospital my puppy died in my arms. We turned around and he drove me home and apologized. He went on his way and I went mine... into the house... I explained what happened. My mother tried to take the dead puppy from my arm's I refused and locked my door and my best friend came over and tried to console me. After about an hour I parted with it and we burried him. After that incident I never wanted anything to do with messy, shedding, barking, meowing, fleabitten varmits ever again.
I remained that way for more than a decade and then let my heart open one more time for a cat name Sage - she retaught me how wonderful animals are.
So... I understand where you are coming from sweetie... animals are like our children (at least they are my children) and are members of the family - sometimes the best family members one can muster. I understand, I care and am sorry for your loss. My prayers will be with you and your family. If there is ANYTHING I can do to help let me know, even if its something simple as needing a listening ear or a dry shoulder. PM me and let me know. I pray that you are able to make through such trying time that has happened to you soo out of the blue. I believe your dog is in heaven and already meeting new Valentine's Day friends and eating pink hearts and pink and purple cake.
