A cockatiel, a sheep and a dog. I won't tell their stories here, or even on my blog but let's just say I know exactly how you feel. And even though sometimes we want to wallow in the guilt we know how unhealthy that is and have to get on with life. I learned some hard lessons and hope I carry on practicing them. You are doing the same:)Greyhounds CAN Sithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178195107110286989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-21091733935728312402011-07-09T19:12:35.592-07:002011-07-09T19:12:35.592-07:00Thanks for sharing this story.

Sometimes, things just happen and they don't make sense and they are awful and we just have to keep going. When I was a freshman in high school, I left the basement door open and our dog escaped and was hit by a car. It was completely my fault and I can still see him running into traffic - I will carry that image with me forever ...The Daily Pip https://www.blogger.com/profile/17071013559078816245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-34917510104646229382011-07-08T18:41:46.172-07:002011-07-08T18:41:46.172-07:00Oh, my heart goes out to you - it's a mistake ...Oh, my heart goes out to you - it's a mistake any of us could have made. I remember bringing my new puppy into the bed with me when she wouldn't stop crying... I would never have even imagined that my act of comfort could have had such consequences. I can understand that it must be hard to let that guilt go... but it was an honest mistake and it could have happened to anyone. Sometimes things happen for a reason, and it did bring you Wickett, as you mentioned, so at least there was something positive that came out of the situation. The idea that sometimes what our animals want is not what they need is such a true one.

I'm sitting here looking at the rest of this box, waiting for more words --<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-- but I want nothing more to distract from this stark offering.<br /><br />Maybe just one prayer.

I am so sorry that you had to go through such a sad and scary experience with your very first puppy and so sorry that accident that happened. <br /><br />Here's something of the same nature that happened to me:<br /><br />I incubated a duck egg a year ago, when I was looking at the development while candling (using a light to see the inside of egg), and the embryo filled half the egg, I changed to 100 watt light and moved the light so that it was almost next to the egg. While there were a bunch of other factors involved that caused his death, he died the day after while using the hot bulb next to the egg. And I have always struggled to forgive myself for killing him. I had made a huge mistake and had a horrible time getting over his death after watching him grow for 30 days. It was one of the hardest things I've had to accept of playing a part in his demise. I still wince at the thought of what I think was a stupid move on my part and wish I had never done that.<br /><br />While isn't the exact same thing, this was just last year and I didn't know a thing about incubating a duck egg or any egg and I screwed up. Please give yourself a break, you were a little girl, it was an honest mistake. I bet Magic has never blamed you once. :)24 Paws of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574070591449171093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-86390321932022261832011-07-07T22:39:08.742-07:002011-07-07T22:39:08.742-07:00Gosh, I just don't know what to say. I feel so...Gosh, I just don't know what to say. I feel so bad for you, to have had such a terrible experience at a young age and then to carry that guilt all of your life. I wish there was some way you could find forgiveness for your mistake. We all screw up, and some mistakes even result in tragedy. But if ever there's a time to find forgiveness, this would be it. I want to cradle the young child that lives within you and tell her it's time to let the guilt go so she can be free of the sadness this unfortunate incident created for her life.Julia Williamshttp://www.canidaepetfood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-56886181979732771282011-07-07T21:17:13.604-07:002011-07-07T21:17:13.604-07:00I had a Sheltie puppy that I adored, and in one we...I had a Sheltie puppy that I adored, and in one weekend, he was just gone. My sister and I left and went to visit my dad, and when we came home, he'd died from Parvo. I wondered for a long time if we could have done something different for him, in the way many kids internalize tragedy and make it their own fault. The truth is, he had fragile health and was just a lot more susceptible than other puppies would have been. Magic sounds like she was a fragile little dog, and sometimes even though we do want to wrap them in bubble wrap (I know I do at times) things happen that are just beyond our control!houndstoothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159272473651561647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-14426369871699659662011-07-07T19:36:49.215-07:002011-07-07T19:36:49.215-07:00Such a sad thing for you to have go through.

I had left him with my friend and ran inside for just a minute, when I came back out I was devastated. I always thought what if I wouldn't of went inside at that very moment, he would still be here. It still breaks my heart to this day to even think about it. I understand about you being over cautious, I am exactly the same way.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111366525685780384noreply@blogger.com
