RIP Millie

Dec 5 2015 was a sad day
I was waxing & waning to tell of the story or not .So here goes -
Life had been good for my 2 dogs of 6 years old - they started off as my children were 10 years old down to 5 (I have 4 kids ) there is something irreplaceable
when puppy’s are raised with dog loving young kids . Dogs can some times come and go, but the time a owner has when children help raise dogs is fleeting. My bulldogs were raised as house pets and truly are nanny dogs . They love the children . They let cats alone . The other dogs in the neighborhood is peace and harmony . I live in the country I know all the dogs in the area & there are no surprises No dogs to challenge mine, the Beagles – Labs – Other hunting dogs
no dogs tread on each other here
& often my male dog brings toys or my kids shoes to the homes of
people with the Beagles .
All was fine my dogs built trust , It is a very classic country life, my female dog walking kids to bus stop or greeting them at the stop to walk them back home .
Some times the bus driver let female Dog come aboard to say hello .
Considering a turbulent past with another batch of dogs I had previous -
it is amazing how time can heal wounds .

Sadness came home once more …... 7:30 am Saturday morn the power goes out . I walk over to neighbors home look at there meter and I see no power also . I tell my wife - powers out on the block . She complains and says I got work and need a shower.
It's now 8:30 am she drives off to friends house for a fast shower before work . I have yard work so I let dogs out to play as I do my thing they run around a bit and settle down and watch me work . 8:40 am I see my wife coming back ,I figure she forgot something , she pulls up all angry saying how come the power is on at the gas station . ( trying to imply I did not pay electric bill ) some thing is up her A**
I said all the homes on block have no power
she looks at me as to sneer and says - yeah sure !! The whole event of her coming back sneering driving off is like 30 seconds It's all going fast & I’m feeling defensive and forget focus on my dogs .
As she drives off my female dog , that does not chase cars Per Say - wants to chase her owner and off she goes . My wife zips off with anger and no concern as my female dog gives chase & runs in front of car gets hit on her hip with right bumper spins like a top and fly’s under right rear tire and is completely run over by car tire
I have my hands up waving screaming - STOP !! & saying Are You F###### kidding me !!
she keeps driveing and never even stopped . I am in shock , my son happened to be looking out the window also to witness the event . The dog walks back to me and can't breath & all hunched over .
I called the vet and told him what happened and the symptoms . He said bring her here BUT realize from what you told me . Your dogs chance to survive is SLIM to NOT, there is going to be internal damage . The kids are all crying I’m crying , blood is coming out of the dog mouth .It's over
My other dog is trying to lick her back to life . The kids & I are numb with sadness &
I have anger - disgust - contempt - like I never felt . Like a Football play -I replay the event .
My wife said I thought she was alright cause she was walking . I said why did you even come back, just to yell at me . Then I hung up phone .
Later my wife shed tears that my 11 year old son says “ crocodile tears” I never taught him that saying.
Now any time I see my wife , as she talks to me all that goes on in the back of my mind is the replay of the event I keep seeing it clear as day .
With out Millie the home is very quite no more antics she was known for. Sure at the time they seemed annoying and typical of anything we take for granted when you have it.
One of my kids was crying & said last night Millie wanted to sleep with me but I was not in the mood. Gone are my sons classic Millllieeee calls to her or when I would wrestle play with him Mil played with male dog like it was a big party . It was a mad house and I miss it . A crazy hyper dog filled with life . There is a cloud of somber sadness that wont pass .& the replay of that day over and over . I dare say this was more then a dog , her eyes had the deep soulful look. She was not average
What a loss for my kids and I .

 

Wow, that is absolutely terrible. I'm so sorry for your family's loss and I'll definitely keep you guys in my prayers.
RIP Millie

I'm so sorry. Its never easy losing a dog, especially by a freak accident. I just lost a young and healthy family Doberman that ran into the sliding glass door and broke her neck. Only time will help heal your wounds and I recommend you try your hardest not to think about what happened, but the great life your dog lived.
