A Very Sad Event Options

[baxter1818]

It brings sadness to even write about my loss. My 3 year old french bulldog Baxter was my very best friend. It was 4 days ago that my fiance had let him out, he always goes in the back yard for his potty, she let her eye off him for just a few minutes, and he ran out to the road, where he was hit and killed. We live on a farm, and several hundred feet from the road. For the life of me i cant understand why he would go that way, for all those years he never went that way. I blame myself for not being there to protect him, due to the fact its my job to take him out. We have a fence but somehow he found a hole. This was the best friend ive ever had, he was there for me 24 hrs a day, slept with me, rode on the 4 wheeler with me, and generally was my great buddy. I had my son and friend bury him for me as I coundnt bear to see him. I sob frequently about my loss and hope that it will soon pass. I feel guilt and sadness with every passing day, and pray that if there is a place in heaven for animals he is watching down knowing that I love and miss him with all my heart.

Dear Mike- Baxters Dad

I was so sorry to read your very sad post about your darling Baxter. I send my heartfelt sympathies to you and your fiancee and family.
I know you will feel guilty, as will your Fiancee, but these awful things are so beyond our control, and happen all too often. Our darlings just don't have that sense of danger, needed to keep them safe. Please remember he will not blame any of you, and knows how much he is loved and missed.
Losing our pets is devastating, however they go, but when it is an'accident' or sudden, I think the first thing you have to deal with is the 'shock' and then disbelief. Work through all your emotions and hopefully in time you will come through this and be able to think of dear Baxter in just a 'Happy' way, as he will want you to. I know that is a tall order, I still cry every day at some time and its over 4months for me now, since losing my darling Samoyed, Noushka. Dear Baxter will be watching over you all.
Thinking of you.
Love Jan and my Angels xx
