One of my dogs was killed by a car this evening. (Saturday evening I mean, haven’t slept I’m still awake) she was not yet two and my constant companion. It was dark, she was dark, and the car doing about 60 no doubt didn’t see her. She was in the hedge on our drive and somehow pushed through onto the road. As ever on the scent of something. Being pitch black I was stood in the doorway thinking she was rustling in the hedge, no clue you could even get through it.
Most horrific bang which will not stop playing in my head.
I can’t even begin to sleep. Ive settled the kids, dh is asleep after being upset. I’m sat with our other dog feeling, well, devastated.
My head is full of stupid questions - can I bury her? She’s a pointer. Are vets even open on sundays for cremation options? Who hit her? Why didn’t they stop? Have they damaged their car? Why didn’t I get her in before she got through the hedge? Do we have to report it to the police?
