Worst Day EVER!

Today was a terrible day. It started off with Mommy waking up late and getting to work and hour late. Only to get a phone call from the neighbor telling her there was a terrible accident with Sprinkles and me. Grandma was bringing us over to her house for the day to play so we wouldn't have to stay home alone. She does this from time to time and we love it. We usually run right out and jump in the back seat. Today, however, we both ran out into the street and both got hit by the same car. A man was bringing his kid to school and the sun was in his eyes. Never even saw us. Sprinkles laid in the street for a minute and Grandma went to touch her, she bit her finger and wouldn't let go. Grandma had to goto the ER to have it looked it. Once she got her hand out of Sprinkles mouth, she said she knew Sprinkles didn't look right. She was panting heavily and was dying. Meanwhile, I also got hit and was so scared I hid in my neighbor's garage. Grandma started screaming and the neighbors came out to see what was going on. By the time two neighbor men got there, Sprinkles had passed. I pray she didn't suffer long. Mommy left work and called Daddy who was in Austin at a conference, telling him he needed to come home right away. She couldn't imagine telling the kids and dealing with their grief alone. She pulled up to the house and saw neighbors standing by the garage and I was laying in the back corner, panting heavily. I had tire track marks on my back, she could see her left leg's tendons, and my abdomen was bloody, like road rash. I had other lacerations as well. I guess I was going into shock. My eyes were not focused on Mommy. I wasn't moving around. I knew Mommy was there but she was really afraid I would try to bite her. Her sister in law, Christine, came over and had a muzzle in her car from her dog and they put it on me. Then 2 of the men in the neighborhood helped move me onto a blanket and lift me up into the back of Daddy's truck. I hardly moved. It hurt too badly. Mommy took me to the emergency vet and they x-rayed me, confirming there were no broken bones. They didn't have an ultrasound machine to see about internal bleeding but all my organs were in the right places so that was a good sign. I started getting pain medications right away and IV fluids to help with any blood loss and to help with the shock I was going through. Avery's friend drove by and saw that we got hit and told him at school so he started texting Mommy. Mommy had her friend Megan go pick him up and bring him to me at the vet. After they left there, they picked up Jaelyn and Braden. Telling Jaelyn was the hardest thing she has ever done. When Mommy saw both Braden and Jaelyn crying, all she could do was say, "I'm sorry". It was tearing her heart out. Daddy got home just 20 minutes after Mommy told them. They took the older kids to the vet to check on me and to say goodbye to Sprinkles. Sprinkles looked like she was sleeping peacefully. There wasn't any blood on her. All of her injuries must have been internal. They all kissed her and said their goodbye's. Evan and Braden stayed with grandma. Today we lost a family member. I lost my best friend. Sprinkles was a wonderful friend and pet for my family for the last 10 years. She was a fantastic dog. She will forever be missed. Rest in peace sweet girl. We love you! 1/2001-10/21/2011
