@achandl2:
Unfortunately we did not get the outcome we wanted. A neighbor called me today and recognized Tegres on the side of a busy highway. He had been hit by a vehicle at some point this morning. The only consolation we have is that it looks like he probably died instantly. My husband and I are completely heart broken over this as we treat our fosters like our own babies.
I am SO very sorry for your loss… even though Tegres was only with you for a short time, you were able to shower him with hope and love....
I understand your heart-break, as I lost my Zeba last Friday. She escaped from her collar while she was getting out of our SUV to go to PetSmart daycare, and then thought that everyone was playing tag with her... she ran out into the busy morning rush hour traffic and was struck. Despite the fact that medical care was immediately available, Zeba was killed immediately.
Like you, Zeba was my baby, and even writing about this a week later still brings me to tears... I hope that Tegres was warmly welcomed by Zeba at the Rainbow Bridge, and that the two of them are scaring the chickens to death.
Hugs and roos to you….
