The last 96 hours feel like an extreme nightmare that I can never wake from. Friday night my dog of 8 years attacked and killed my cat of 9 years. Could I have done something to prevent this from happening? I was never meant to have pets. I can't stand this pain. They had tussled before, but this time...... I no longer have a cat. And in 2 hours; I will no longer have a dog. I can't even look at her without thinking about what happened. I was hoping that this day would never come. I am not strong enough to deal with so much grief. I would do anything to be able to go back in time and change things. Maybe make sure this never happened. I just took my dog on her final walk, feed her her final food and gave her her final water. Why do we have pets?? most of the time we are likely to outlive them. The pain of losing a dog years ago to old age and cancer was bad enough, but this..... i can't stop shaking and can't stop blaming myself that I did something wrong for my dog to do this and for not protecting my cat.
