Maggie's gone. My parents' dog Maggie escaped from their back yard yesterday and was hit by a car. Someone found her and took her to the vet, but she died shortly after they got her there. Though we didn't get there in time, we got a few minutes to say our goodbyes. That was difficult but will probably be good in the long run.
I can't get that time out of my head. I woke up thinking bout her many times last night and, every time I thought about her today, tears were very close to the surface. I just can't let my mind wander too much.
She wasn't my dog, but I was quite attached to her. I was one of "her people" even though I don't live at the house anymore. It's a shame her life was cut so short. She would have turned three at the end of June.
Maggie was a very sweet, smart, well behaved, and entertaining puppy. She will be greatly missed.
