OT: My dog was put to sleep..

A few hours ago I let my dog outside then went back in the house to grab my cell phone and shoes. I usually go with him but he was being impatient barking at me so I opened the door to let him go. When I went back outside, I did not see Oreo anywhere. He has NEVER ran away before. I walked around the apartment complex calling his name and then got in the car looking for him. I then called my partner at work and told her that Oreo was lost. She came home and helped me look for him. After about 45 minutes later a car pulled up and a man had Oreo wrapped in a blanket. Someone told him that I was looking for my dog and where I lived. He got ran over by a car. I rushed him to the Vet. hospital and the Vet said he broke his back and had some internal bleeding. We made the decision to put him to sleep. That was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Oreo was 3 year old poodle and the light of my life. I cant imagine life without him. I am totally hurt right now. I don't know what to do with his stuff like his bed, toys, pajamas, t-shirts, dog bowl and etc... I now feel like its my fault that I went back in the house. He never goes far, thats why I trusted him alone for a few seconds. Because I made a stupid decision, My Oreo is gone. How do I get through this? Thanks for listening.. Kay

Oh Kay..... Bless your heart, I'm snuggled up with my little doggie baby right now and wiping tears. I don't know how to get through this, just know that we all make little mistakes of judgement everyday. But most times those little mistakes are harmless and do not carry any consequences (spelling?) So there is no reason to beat yourself up over this. Oreo had a great life, was loved and cared for, and in return gave his love back. You made his life happy, and he made yours happy what a great gift this little poodle gave you in his three short years! Be assured you Will get through this, take heart and take care, Amanda
