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.

Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”
