Ridin' The Range
Christmas has begun with the first trip of the season. My husband and I took our three sons out of school on Friday so that we could spend plenty of time with our family. All of the excitement of packing presents, goodies and suitcases filled everyone with the Christmas spirit. My in-laws take care of our goats and animals while we are away. Our most beloved pet is our dog, Caspian. He is a full-blood Maltese and is part of the family. He is an indoor dog but he loves to romp and play, going in and out throughout the day. My mother-in-law doesn't let him stay inside except at night when she puts him in a bathroom to keep him warm and safe. We were all ready to go and Caspian knew we were leaving. As usual he got all excited and followed us up to the in-laws...my husband accidentally ran over him on the way.
Words cannot describe the horror of what happened for the next three hours. My sons screamed, cried and wailed for what seemed like an eternity. The boys did not want to stay home and wanted to continue on our trip. We buried him, said goodbye and got on the road...it was the longest 4 hour drive in history. We have tried to keep positive, but it has been very hard. We are about ready to return home. None of us want to go back and face the sadness there. Please pray for my family. We are all grieving and very sad.
