Daphne's dead...
She got hit by a car. My worst nightmare. Words cant describe how sad i am. She was the best thing that ever happened to me and now shes gone. I havent been able to stop crying since. Nor have i been able to eat or sleep. I feel so empty. I dont understand how something like this could happen to such a great dog. Ive always been an animal lover but no animal(or person) has ever made me as happy as she made me. No one really understands...they dont get how i can be so hurt by losing a dog or they say im over exaterating. But i have never had a dog...i waited all my life for her. She wasnt just a dog...she was my bestfriend, my entertainment, my comfort, and my daughter. This must be what its like to lose a child.
Rick's dumbass mom let her out w/o a leash. She thinks that daphne is one of those dogs that will just use the bathroom and come right back in. She isnt and she should of figured that out after daphne ran away 3 other times at least...but those times she came back. This time she didnt. I came back from vacation and rick told me she had been missing for 24hrs. I was a wreck then and things only got worse when the spca hadnt heard anything about her(we live in a pretty poputlated area so someone shoulda called if they had seen her). No one called my work or my house saying they had found her...she had on tags. We printed out signs ad posted them everywhere. After 48 hrs my and rick really went out looking for her. We walked miles for hours in different directions calling her name. Just as we were about to go in we found her. I'll never forget it...i just happened to drive past rick walking down the street and as i was pulling over to consult w/ him i saw him break into a run screaming. There she was lying on the side of 162. But it wasnt her...this dog was green and bloated and covered in flies. It wasnt my skinny energetic happy dog... People driving by called the cops thinking that someone had gotten into an accident by the way me and rick were laying on the side of the road in each others arms sobbing and screaming. Ive never seen rick like that. We took her to Doc...he said that she died instantly.
Rick took things so hard right away(ive never seen him so upset)...for me i was numb all that day. It wasnt until the next day that i was really a wreck. I havent gone an hour w/o crying. We both feel like we let her down so much. Her whole life had been filled w/ abuse and mistreatment by fucking people...cept for the 9-10 months the we had her and now her life had been ended by the carelessness of a fuckin person. I had so much stuff planned for her...we were gonna take her to the beach that weekend...god she woulda loved the beach.
She has broughten more happiness to my life than anything/one ever could or ever will. My heart is broken....i dont think ill ever be able to return to normal.
