It is with the heaviest of hearts that I write this post. Somehow between 9:15pm tonight (May 26) when I left the house and 11:00pm when I returned, Dominique got outside. I don't know how and it matters not for I can not change the outcome. She was killed by one of my dogs. It is my worst nightmare come true. Which dog is irrelevant and I don't have a clue. She was not badly mauled, but had a fatal injury to her neck. She died quickly and painlessly.

Dominique was always the most dog friendly of my cats. She loved the dogs. I was always afraid it would be her undoing and I did my very best to protect her. Please forgive me for failing this one time.

I love you little princess. I will miss you forever. I'm so sorry I wasn't here to protect you and save you. I will never forgive myself, I pray that you are safe and happy at the Bridge.

Godspeed, tiny Dommers.
