You are not evil! lol We've all had things happen that scared our poor little babies, and ourselves!!
Try as we might, things are just going to happen. All we can do is our best to protect and take care of them. Spend some one-on-one time with her when you get home. I find with Gracie, that a nice walk outside and then some snuggling time makes
me feel better.
And if you're lucky perhaps she'll associate the scary noise with not coming when you called in the first place.
