I'm not usually one to share my personal life online. Hell, I'm not one to share my personal life offline, either. But tonight, my dog was hit by a car. I live on a one lane dirt road in the country. Maybe 10 people live on my road, and nobody drives faster than twenty miles an hour down it. Because I own a few acres of land, I generally let my dog run freely on them in the early evening.
Tonight, some guy came barrelling down the road going 45-50 mph.My dog was investigating something delicious smelling in a ditch. Guy didn't see her in the twilight, and clipped her as he drove past.
Three hours later, I was signing release papers at the emergency vet's office to release her from her pain.
I don't know why I'm writing this. I just felt like I should record the events, roughly, for posterity. I didn't want to do it on one of the other boards, because, honestly, all of the anonymous people on the internet I might want or trust to read my anguished ramblings are all here.

I'm sorry. That's horrible. So the guy didn't even stop?
That really sucks. I'm so sorry.

Guy didn't stop. Not that his stopping would have helped my Livia.
Thanks, Idle.

Thanks, mouse. So when I got back from the Emergency Vet, I turned on the television. First commercial up? www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hlj_qNYMQNot even a funny commercial. First time I'd ever laughed at it.

I'm so sorry for you. To lose a dog is horrible - but to lose it like that must be so devastating

Good god, I'm sorry Squid. There is a special place in hell for people who hit animals with their cars and don't even stop to help. I lost a dog to a hit and run driver about 8 years ago, it's terrible.
My sympathies.

I am very, very sorry to hear this. As the daddy of three dogs I know what it must feel like. I'd probably have tried to shoot the guy if I witnessed it. But NAF is right, there is a special place in hell for people like that. --FCOD
