Last week my sister's 13 1/2 year old sheltie was hit by a car while she was gone on vacation. The guy who was staying at their house dog sitting left the back gate open and Lucy who is hard of hearing wandered out and and was hit and killed. My sister found out a day later after calling animal control and they told her they picked Lucy up. She's so upset and having a hard time dealing with it. She feels she let Lucy down.

On top of that she had to put her 11 year old wire haired terrier down just two months ago due to uncontrollable seizures. Her 12 year old cat died last fall too. In about 9 months she went from a four pet household to one, a cat.

I just sent her some flowers to work hoping it will cheer her up a little. I had to share because I know you guys can understand. So sad.
