Thank you.
going through the stages right now....sadness, guilt, anger, sadness. In the past few months I have become paranoid about this happening. I triple checked when leaving the house and coming back that Chiara was inside. I was afraid that she was going to slip out, hide in the garage and we wouldn't notice her pulling in/out, or that she would run out to the street. I drove everyone crazy. When guests came by I was borderline rude, reiterating the importance of closed doors at all times... It didn't help.

The neighbor...she almost had a heart attack when she got out of the car. Somehow I still don't feel bad for her, she killed my most precious Chiara. She could have killed a human child and would be in jail now. She - as a driver, mother, and pet owner failed 100%.

We have an African Grey Parrot that calls out her name, and barks like her.
