I am so sorry about the accident! I just read it today and I hope I am not posting too late and bringing back bad thoughts. I just wanted to ask you to please not blame yourself, and DO NOT do those awful "I should have"s. Those are bad. I was just talking to my best friend today about the death of one of our friends, Dan. He was killed in Febuary when his car slipped on black ice. He was a wonderful kid, and only 18. Beleive it or not, she blames herself for his death! She was going to invite him on a vacation but decided not to at the last minute. She said if he had gone, he wouldn't have been driving on that road here and wouldn't have hit that ice. Doesn't that sound awful? It wasn't her fault and it most certainly wasn't your fault that you hit that dog. You are a wonderful, compassionate, animal-loving person and we know it, and you should know it too. I know how awful you feel. When my best friend and I were driving one day on a very busy road, a bird flew right into our windshield. We could tell by the way it fell limp to the road that it was dead, but we pulled over right away. This road is like a highway so we were unable to get to see the bird, but we were crying and shaking. We said a little prayer for him and left. You just have to get over it and know it wasn't your fault. The dog knows that and so does God. And we know it, and we love you! I hope you are feeling better!
