Pet killed
Sad sad news. Our beloved cat Lulu was run down late Thursday night, right outside our driveway. She was left lying on the road. A neighbour spotted her when leaving for work at 6:00am and moved her to the grass berm. What a devastating discovery for my poor wife.
She had settled into her new home, [we shifted here almost exactly 12 months ago], thrived in this rural/urban neighborhood and inveigled her way into many hearts.
Now she is dead. I feel quite gutted--and very angry that whoever ran her down didn't have the guts to stop, render aid -- or at least move her off the road. She wore a distinctive pink tag with name and phone number affixed. If the perpetrator reads this, perhaps they might phone me to confirm it was a genuine accident. But I cann't help observe that our street in Omaka Landing is devoid of parked cars after 7:00pm, there are no shrubs/trees on the berms and it is extremely well lit. It's hard to understand she wasn't seen crossing the road on her way home.
Only those who have lost a pet, a virtual child/family member, will understand our anguish --and anger. RIP little Lulu.
