I know what you mean.I was forever going to adopt Orange Blossom,the big Orangie that was living here,part time.
He was a good Cat,but I put him out so he wouldnt spray in the Hotel.
Then I found him dead on the Front Lawn, avictim of a hit and run accident,a deliberate murder,as he was well off the road.
I hope that you can forgive yourself,as you didnt mean for Dominique to come to any harm.
And your Dogs were catching prey,a natural instinct in some breeds.
Guilt is a terrible burden to sarry,and I know that Dominique bears you no ill will,and will wait with Orange Blossom to see us,One Fine Day.
