Today my miniature dachshund, Tootsie, escaped out of our yard and was hit by a car. I'm in shock at the loss of her. I alternate from sobbing, to talking about her like she's still here. I just can't believe this happened. I feel like such a horrible mommy. I had my husband come home from work early to help me find her. He found her on the side of the road dead. We haven't buried her yet..... my husband put her in a plastic bag until tomorrow when we'll bury her. I don't know if I should look at her and say goodbye. Will I regret it later if I don't say my last goodbyes to her? I want to see her and talk to her, but I'm scared that it will traumatize me. What should I do? Oh my gosh, I miss her so much. She would have turned 2 next month.
