(27,985 posts)A part of you is dying. Having a family member (and all of us who are dog companions know they are family) die at the right time is hard enough, having them ripped away in an accident is horrific beyond measure. I had that happen with, ironically, my dog Buddy, when I was eight and I saw him run under the car tire. I'm nearly 50 now and have been at the passing of many of my fur family but that one was hands down the hardest.
The only slightly comforting thing I can say is that Buddy had a hell of a human friend in you and I know it because that human friend is grieving something terrible right now.
Katie, you need to take care of Bob for a while now and kiss his tears away. And if Buddy was also your friend, it's okay to grieve, little furry girl.
