So many thanks
May. 15th, 2006 10:46 pmI dont know where to begin, other than to thank each and every one of you who left kind words and condolences here the past couple of days. I cannot begin to say how much it's appreciated.
Jeff, his family, myself and mom are still in somewhat of a shock as well. This happened so suddenly. Bear never ran into the street like this before. Given the very rural nature of the area, it was by horrible chance that a car happened to be coming at the time as well. The woman who hit Bear was speeding, and apparently made no effort to stop. She would have kept going had it not been for the screaming of Jeff's mom. When this person finally stopped, she claimed to be totally unaware of anything ever happened. This is highly suspect testimony seeing that she had hit poor Bear with such force that it broke off the lower part of the car's bumper. A nasty argument ensued, of course with her trying to place all the blame on everyone else.
When I heard about this all I wanted to do was kick the bitch in the cunt with my steeltoe boots until there was nothing left but a bloody crater. This would do nothing to bring back poor little Bear though. Still, I am getting increasingly fed up with people's complete lack of personal responsibility.
Bear was becoming such an integral part of our families. Growing up out of awkward puppydom, he was a great little handful of a companion. His first and only vacation with us to NC with the Mini Cooper fanatics was a pleasure, with Bear lighting up people's faces with smiles everywhere he went. He endured a 9 hour car ride each way with no fuss whatsoever. Katie, our friend and cabin-mate for the weekend fell in love with the little guy, and she, along with other friends of mine from the weekend, was crushed upon hearing the news. Our little baby is gone, but he will never be forgotten. One day shy of only 5 whole months with us, he really left his little pawprints in our hearts forever.
I have a lot of catching up on LJ to do, but with all that is happening, I know I will miss some of the goings-on. I read in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
notdefined's journal that his dog Nigel was hit by a car the same day as Bear. Nigel made out far better though, and for that I am glad. One fatal tragedy is enough. I hope to one day meet Nigel. And his loving owners.
