OMG you guys!!! Edwina's, that's just horrible about the irresponsible neighbors, but your husband was so nice to do what he could. I always wonder about that too, if something were to happen to my babies after hours. Being in a big city, it does seem like some vets aren't too empathetic in situations like that.
Purrley **hugs** what a tragic accident!!! It is absolutely horrible to hit an animal, but there was nothing you could do. Adore is right, it's better for a loving person to be the one to send the animal to the rainbow bridge as opposed to some nasty person who could care less. I can only imagine how you felt. I hit an opossum once when I was driving home from college, and I cried all the way home and was traumatized too. But, I realized that there was nothing for me to do as there were cars around me, and it's better to not try and risk swerving since it could cause an accident and possibly hurt other people.
Adore, honey, I can't believe that people honked at you!!! It's really amazing how there are so many people out there that don't value the lives of animals (heck or people!) or anyone but themselves. Since becoming a 'member' of this group, it's so nice to see that there is so much kindness out there. You're a true sweetheart, but also think about yourself and cutie patootie Graham and keep yourself safe. Being around high traffic areas is a dangerous place to be and you never know what kind of horrible nuts that might be driving on the road!!**hugs**
