My Lacey was hit by a car today.  My whole family is heartbroken and in shock.  I still cant believe it.  Im angry and sad and its taking me forever to write this because it hurts so much and the tears keep coming.  Lacey can jump our fence so I never let them out there alone and they are both fine when someone is in the yard with them.  Today my husband got  home early and he went out back by our pond to feed the fish so his back was to the dogs and the gate was left open (by him) and Lacey snuck out and crossed the road to see the dogs across there.  Im so angry with him...I wont tell him that though because he was crying too and feeling guilty.  I couldnt tell my kids that lacey got hit, he had to.  I just couldnt break my childs heart like that, I couldnt do it. My oldest hasnt stopped crying and she wont go to her game.  My youngest sobbed and sobbed.  Its hard to stay strong when you see your kids heart breaking.  I couldnt, the tears came and still are.  She was our family, the kids sibling and my baby!! I know my husband didnt do it on purpose but Im so angry, hurt.  It was preventable.  I dont know that I will be able to get another dog.  We still have Jack, I always said I would always have 2 dogs but I dont think I can do it.  I cant bear to ever go thru this again, not to mention watching my kids go thru it.  My poor Jack, he's going to be so lost.  He has NEVER been alone.  What is he going to do when we all leave and he has to stay home alone.  I hope he's going to get thru this ok.  He knows something is wrong and he hasnt left my side since I got home.  Thanks for reading.  I knew I could come here where everyone understands a dog is your family...not just a dog.  And you would understand the pain of a tragedy like this.

Oh, and I am so sorry. There are never the right words. We all do know what you are feeling and how deeply it hurts. I wish there was some measure of comfort I could offer.

There are not enough words to say how sorry I am for you and your family. I wish it had not happened. She was a beautiful rattie. Did the person stop, that hit her?They probably feel guilty, too. I know it is hard for you to talk about it right now.

thank you, yes the lady who hit her did stop and the car behind her did to.  she did feel awful but it wasnt her fault.  Its hard to talk about, but helps a little too.  I missed her the second she was gone.  Funny how empty it can make you feel even when the house is full.

Thanks.  Yes Lacey was a pure bred rattie.  She is the bigger dog in my avatar.  Thanks for the shoulder and kleenexes, I think between all of us in my family we've used up all we have.

 I am glad they stopped. It would have been even worse to not know who it was, and how sorry they were. We send love and prayers your way...Eventually, not now, but eventually, you will want to fill the void with another rattie baby....It will never replace Lacy, but will help to know you are giving another rattie a home, and Lacy would be glad too. She will always watch over you guys.

Teresa, I am so very sorry. Nothing we can say now can make you feel better, but please know how much we are hurting for and with you. It is the downside of owning a dog. Having lost several myself through old age, it is the saddest, saddest thing. I know your heart and your family's hearts are all breaking. You can't believe this now, but the hurt will get better and the loving memories will fill the emptiness you have now. The time will come when you will be ready for another dog. That dog will never, ever replace Lacey, but instead will be a tribute to her. And, you will learn to love that dog just as much, but for totally different reasons. Trust me in this. In the meantime, you and your family must grieve for the loss of Lacey. This was an accident -- no one's fault. Hold each other tight tonight and love each other - that's what Lacey would want you to do.

I wish I had words of comfort to give you, but I know that none would really help. I know it would kill me if I lost one of my little ones, and I am so sorry for the hurt and pain this is causing you and your family. May god bless you will happy memories of Lacey and happy thoughts for the future to come.


You have two hands, you might as well have two ratties....right?
