Prayers For My Little Friend, Razzy, Struck down by a truck on Tuesday Options

[Lisarenee]

Hi everyone,

A very dear friend and work mate lost her little girl, Razzy yesterday to a
truck.
I work at a grooming shop and have known Razzy since
she was a tiny little pup. She was a spirited little Rat Terrier/ Chih. cross. And
she was all ears. You know, those huge corn stalk ears that spring up like
skyscrapers when she spyed something interesting. She had long, graceful legs
and would spring from floor to grooming table in a single step. She was a
little gazelle in a dog's body. She didn't bark, she talked. She'd amuse
herself in her crate for hours, laying on her back chortelling and "rawring" to
her toys. She'd go from sound asleep to (play) attack mode in half a second
and was always ready to wrestle. She'd prefer to walk on her two hind legs
than on all fours. She could see more that way, I think. When I close my eyes
and picture her in my minds eye, I just feel the joy that was the essence of
Razzy.
Yesterday, Razzy didn't come to work with my friend. It was very busy
for Thanksgiving and for many reasons, my friend decided it was better for
her to stay home. Somehow, Razzy snuck out and began to walk the same route my friend and she took to
come to work. She must have tried to cross the street and a truck hit her. A
very kind person stopped and at least pulled her to the side of the road. She
was killed less than 1/2 mile from our work.This morning my boss called the
shelter and was told that at least she likely passed instantly. We also were able to
recover her collars and we have gone to "Things Remembered" and bought a silver
keepsake box with Razzy's name engraved in it to keep the collars and any other
momentos.
We all worked yesterday with blurry eyes and with choked back tears. It's
always horrible when we lose on of the kids we've been grooming or sitting for
years. But this is one of our own. And she was only 3.
I am posting in hopes to be able to print all the responses and create a scrapbook for her
to keep and read for comfort in the painful weeks and months ahead. Razzy's Mom is Crystal and she
is about the sweetest person I've ever known. To double this tragedy, she lost a little poodle puppy
about a year before she found Razzy to a genetic heart defect. My heart is broken for her.
Thanks for listening, Lisa
