Oh my goodness. You are all so incredible. I wish I could meet each and every one of you and give you a hug. Thank you so much for understanding. I started crying again when I read through your responses. When it happened the first thing I thought of was calling my husband (he is always so sweet) and then telling you all.

I guess I was looking for reassurance. That woman really made me feel awful about not stopping. So, thank you all for helping me deal with this. Believe it or not you have all helped me get through my day. Now I just want to go home and sleep:! Crying really makes me tired.... I leave work in a couple of hours and I feel really creepy about getting in the car. But I have to do it.

One thing that has been going thru my mind all day is why was I chosen to have this happen. I'm not trying to say "why me" or anything...I guess I'm just curious as to why this happened to someone who loves animals - ALL animals - soooooo much. So, I know there must be a reason for it. Someday I will know why. I saved one dog from that fate and brought her into my home and I took another dog's life..... doesn't sound very fair does it?

I did think about volunteering at a shelter and such and making it my life's mission to save every stray I find! My husband won't like the latter of the two....

Thanks again everyone...your words really helped me.
