Pet Bereavement Support Group

On February 22, 2012 my husband called to ask me where the vet's office was. I asked why, told him and then he told me why. While he was driving out of the yard, my Miniature Schnauzer, Laci, must have got too close to the side of his vehicle and slid on this ice, going between the front and rear wheels on the passenger side. He had her in his rear view mirror, just before. When he looked again, she was laying on the ground. There were no visable signs of injury, but she only lived for a short while, so she did not suffer long.

We are both devastated and are not able to talk about it to each other. We got her when she was 8 weeks old and she would have been 9 years old in May. She was our "big girl". Our younger dog is also grieving, as she goes out and barks for her to come in.

Any advice on how to go on? Another dog, at this point, is not the answer, I don't believe as we could never replace her.

Thanks.
