OMG! How horrible and devastating! Ohh...my heart goes out to you. Was this the same pitbull mix that belonged to the owner that said it wasn't going to be there? All I can say is how truly sorry I am for your loss. And to have witnessed it is a double blow. I am sure that and your husband will have mixed emotions over the next few weeks. Try to remember the love that you had for your furbaby and that you did everything you could for him. You would have never intentionally put him in harms way and know that Beasley knew that as well. It will be hard to get over the pain and loss, especially one so traumatic. But with time, hopefully your pain will lessen. Just concentrate on the happy memories and love he gave you. This is a wonderful place for support and to sort out your feelings. I am so sorry.

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your husband.
Take Care,
Cynthia

Kelly,
Oh my GOD....I am SOOOO sorry that that happened to your baby Beasley.
I also know the extra added grief you are enduring....
I witnessed my dog getting hit by a car on July 5th. It happened right in front of me,
about 10 feet away. I was powerless to stop it.
I fully understand the horror of what you are going thru....
It's one thing to lose your pet, and to see it happen right in front of you as you stand helpless
only adds insult to injury. I am so sorry that you are going thru something so horrible.
I too keep replaying the day Dixie was killed... as a matter of fact, I did it again today. I was
driving home and I saw a dead cat on the side of the freeway. That's all it took to bring
back all the agonizing details of July 5th. I started replaying the whole thing in my head,
and before I knew it, I was sobbing... with my family in the car. They don't know why I can't move on.
THEY didn't witness, I did. It is so hard to move on.
Please forgive me for rambling. I want you to know that I (and the others here) understand how
painful this is for you. Stay strong...
Sending prayers and a big ((((Hug))))) your way,
Dana

Thank you all for the warm wishes and kind words...knowing that there are others out there like us who love their pets and all animals so deeply gives us a lot of comfort.

I wish I could attach a picture of Beasley so you could see how adorable he is, but I just can't look at his cute face in our [millions] of pictures without feeling such immense pain and reliving that horrible, violent moment.

We love him so much and miss him terribly.

Thanks again for your support--you, along with my friends and family, have given my husband & I much needed strength, though I am not nearly as strong as he is. He loves Beasley and would have done anything for him, too, but he seems to be coping better than I am. We both break down and cry at the most random moments, but in addition to that, I haven't been able to eat, sleep, or barely choke down water. I am just desperate to know that even though I can't see him, he's still with me, because he was our everything. I would do anything to hug him or carry him, or to have him kiss my cheek or chew his bone on my lap.

Thank you so much again & please take care.

Dear Kel,

My heart just aches for you and your husband. After reading your story I'm in such shock I can't even find any words that might bring you comfort. The one thing I can tell you is that I'm sure Beasley never doubted your love for even a second. It sounds like his days with you were filled with love and joy. I'm just so sorry his life ended so tragically.

You're in my thoughts.
Hugs,
Kathleen
