MIA -- reason why

Hi there. Sorry I haven't responded to e-mails, messages, etc. I had a pretty horrible week. I witnessed my friend's dog being run over by a car. The guy (an old fogie) driving didn't even realize he hit the dog, then proceeded to run over it with both the front and back tires. The dog didn't run out in front of him, either. The poor thing wasn't feeling well that day and was just sauntering along. It was one of the most horrific things I have ever seen. The only reason he stopped was because he heard two women screaming hysterically. He didn't even help drive my friend to either the vet or her home. He just put the dog (a medium size one) in her arms and she carried it home for over three blocks. I followed her, holding on to 4 other dogs. It was simply horrible.

Every time I closed my eyes, I would relive that horrific scene. My friend took it real hard because her dog had been "unleashed" and she was/still is feeling guilty about it. But the poor dog had sores on him and couldn't have a leash/harness on him. He died at the scene.

I'll reply to messages shortly! Thanks for your understanding.
