My little Maddie-dog got out of the house, got hit by a car, and died today. I just got back from the vet a little while ago. Andy's home, and we talked to the boys.
In true fashion, HRH drew a picture of Maddie going up to join Grampa up in heaven. Gremlin is angry and wants to fly to heaven and get her back. Andy is being supportive of me. And I'm blaming myself for letting her run off.
My poor little girl. She was dead before I picked her up off the street and before I drove like a maniac to the vet's. The vet could not have been nicer, getting me water and allowing me to stand there and pet her, crying for as long as I wanted. I've got her collar in my bag now.
It wasn't my children, it wasn't my husband, or any person. But I feel her loss and our house is emptier without her.

We have been lucky--our little beagle bolts like nobody's business. I try to be vigilant, we all do, but every once in a while . . . Please don't beat yourself up.
I stalk your blog frequently and have never posted before, but I was moved to tears when I read your post. I'm am SO very sorry. Your loss is not diminished simply because this was a canine vs. human loss, they are our family and we grieve their loss as we would any loved one.
Of course it is! I'm so sorry. That must have been such a horrible horrible experience for you. And what an adorable funny picture of Maddie!
As a dog lover and owner I certainly feel your pain. I am sorry for your loss.
As a life long owner of furry family I"m so so sorry.
Oh, I'm so sorry. Of course you miss her, what an ordeal. Thinking of you.
May the force be with you Maddie.
So sorry hon.

Oh, I am so sorry. I can't imagine how traumatic that must have been for you. And how sad you must feel now. I'm so, so sorry you lost your little friend. (And know that it's not your fault.)
I am so sorry. :-(
That's horrible. I'm so sorry for your family's loss. She sure looks like a sweet thing in her costume. I hope her death was instant.
I cannot believe that I missed this when it happened.
Christine, I am so sorry.
There are no words for the loss of a dear friend.
I wish that I had commented sooner, but I'm just getting caught up from vacation.
Again, I am so, so sorry.
I am so sorry to hear about Maddie. Our pets are our babies and losing one is really hard. My thoughts are with you and your family. xoxo
Just came over to you from Bossy's blog and read about your dog. I am a dog lover and reading that post made my stomach turn over. The suddenness of it all. I'm so sorry.
