You know sometimes I just really don't understand why things happen. THere was an accident yesterday. April's Dog Reno who has never jumped out of a window ever jumped out the truck window while the car was moving. In an attempt to save him April grabbed the lease. Unfortunately the dog swung under the car. WHen April slammed on the brakes and got out he was under a wheel. She literally had to get back in the car and back up off the dog. She picked him up and he clinched onto her hand. I ran to the drivers side and drove to the Petsmart. THe vet hooked him up to oxygen and whatnot but we had to transport him to an emergency clinic and he died shortly after.

So tell me this:
How to explain to someone you love like no one else in the world that it isn't their fault when they keep repeating it is?
How do you make someone understand that it was just his time even though he was four?
And how do you stop a loved one when they've been crying for six hours straight because you're worried about their health?

I look at her and I just want to make it better. Make it so it never happened. But I can't. I have had some horrible experiences,but never have I felt so helpless then this. This is the most horrible way I would imagine a pet to die. In fact, I wouldn't even imagine it it's just too horrible. I just wish she would stop saying "I killed my baby. It's all my fault."

I had to take her to the emergency room last night for the dog bites. And all of those stupid idiots keep asking her to explain the story. Four times she had to say "I ran over my dog." I wanted to hurt all of them.


It wasn't her fault. It really wasn't. It was just his time. But how do I make her understand that.

RIP Reno We love you so much.
