my dog managed to slip out the door yesterday and ended up going straight for the road and got ran over . i feel so horrible . holy cow , that 's terrible . i really feel for you . my dad had that happen to him and his dog when he was young , and he 's told me about it as a warning to make sure i 'm safe with ours . i would n't wish it on anyone . i hope you get through the grieving process okay . it 's going to be hard , and i do n't think i 'll be able to have another dog anytime soon . it 'll take a while before i 'm comfortable enough , . i would definitely take as long as you need , so you do n't put unhealthy pressure or expectation on the animal to live up to a memory it ca n't live up to . but if you feel comfortable with the idea , then i would consider it when the time is right . you 'll know when that is .
The death of a beloved pet dog.
