Two weeks ago, we said goodbye to Molly, the female half of TeamBeagle. She was hit by a car. Her spine was severed and there was nothing to do but to thank her for being the awesome, loving beagle she was and to let go.

Her brother Jack is fine, although he, too, tried to run across a highway. (A kid visiting the house had left the door ajar. The two beagles ran through the village and crossed a highway. A car of college kids got the dogs off the highway, called us (from the tags on their collars), called the Humane Society which has an ambulance (nearest emergency vet is 30 min. away), and wrapped Molly in a blanket. Those kids and the ambulance personnel were beyond awesome.

It has been terribly sad.

Here they are in better days, helping make breakfast. That's Molly on the left and Jack on the right.

Aw Helen, I'm SO sad and sorry for your loss. That's heartbreaking.

katiesue · 04-20-2008, 01:42 PM

Helen - that's horrible. I'm so sorry.

Not Afraid · 04-20-2008, 01:56 PM

Oh Helen! I'm so sorry to hear of this news. It's just heartbreaking!

wendybeth · 04-20-2008, 02:13 PM

Oh, Helen- that broke my heart. I'm so sorry. When I was young, a neighbor ran over our dog and I remember like it was yesterday. Big hugs to all of you.

Thanks for the sympathy, all. Jack the lonely beagle seems to be happy again, as of maybe two days ago.

On a totally different note, you know how cute Rémy the mouse chef is in "Ratatouille"? He's 10x the cute en français. «Psss...c'est moi, Rémy. Tout le monde peut cuisiner!»

Helen, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. You know - not a lot of people stop for hurting animals, even when they hit them. I'm glad that (or so it seems) you had a chance to see her and say goodbye. *hugs*

Internetting is soothing for me. I've been on the run all weekend with work and all. Now that I'm home, my hounds have been spastic as has the cat. Got the one hound walked (thank you honey), the other one ate more food and has settled down a bit. Even the cat has settled.

I was feeling stressed and off balance, made worse by lack of internet time. Honey asks if I want to hit the coffee shop, and I don't. It would be an interruption of my routine. I want to be here, to internet, and get some laundry done and maybe some homework.

I think the wine is calling me.

So glad to be here with you folks.
