I think I've been traumatized. I mean, I knew, eventually, I would have to see it, and maybe better to get it over with now so it wouldn't be such a shock later? I don't know. My hands are shaking so bad right now I can hardly type. This is what happened:
My brother was taking a friend home from school yesterday. I was with them. He was driving kinda fast, but I knew that on the way over I saw a dog on the side of the road. He wouldn't stop then, but said we could stop on the way back. On our way back, there it was. He let me off, and I went cautiously over to the dog, who hadn't moved since I'd seen him the first time. He was laying right on the road, so I pulled him into the median. It was a Rottie puppy, not more than 10 weeks old. Obviously he'd been hit. Completely limp, blood, I could feel his broken ribs and legs. The hardest part was, he was still warm. I couldn't handle it. I ran back to the car, tears streaming, and I was in my room for a while. I just don't know why something like this would happen! Especially now at Christmas!! Yeah, I can't really see the screen now, tears are blurring everything. I'm trying to think positive - maybe he didn't suffer, maybe it was instant. But it infuriates me that someone, not only would be going so fast that they couldn't stop to miss him, but then that they left him lying there - argh!! Also, that puppy was someone's, probably some idiot who didn't have the sense to spay their dog!
I'm sorry, but I just feel so helpless right now... I might try to go and pick him up later, I don't think anyone else will. Perhaps give him a proper burial. His life was too short, stolen because of someone's ignorance. sigh Sorry, I'm done.
