Even Worse

My sweet Streak is gone.  We found out that yesterday morning she was hit by a car that did not stop on 4th St.  A lady reported a light brown dog on the side of the road on facebook, and this morning Tyson went to talk to the construction workers there.  They said Aussie crossed, and a car hit Streak.  They car did not stop...poor guys said that they don't stop if they almost hit the workers...and the guys moved her to the side. Aussie came back for her and stood there awhile, then took off.  That is when she appeared in our front yard crying.  She wanted us to help!  This is so horrible.  I have to tell the big kids after school.  I have cried so much for one dog.  I think it is just the way she always was my girl from the start.  I keep seeing her eyes looking at me and just hate it.  Aussie is still crying in the backyard or hiding in the dog house that Streak used.  Just years of waiting for her and now she is gone 1 year and 5 months old.  So so sad here.  Not sure what to do with Aussie, but she is really stressed.  I cannot believe Streak is gone.  My mixed up colored, licking you to death, wanting to crawl in your lap or be right beside you girl is gone.  Saddest day.  Pray for the kids.  This will really be so hard on Mak.  Man, life is so hard sometimes for so many different reasons and for so many people.

The WORST feeling

This morning was not good.  Our 2 dogs, Aussie and Streak, got out of the gate somehow.  The news got worse when I was told Streak did not have her tag attached to her collar.  Oh my word.  Who knew how long they had been gone and what on earth to do about it?  Through many tears Makenna went to school.  It was awful.  At about 830am Aussie just appeared behind Tyson outside in the front yard.  We were elated!  But Streak was not with her.  Streak is her baby girl, her one puppy that we kept.  We planned for years to hopefully have puppies with Aussie and Scott's dog Elek.  (Remember that 10 puppies post last May???)  Having puppies is hard work.  We loved all ten and took care of them for weeeeeeeeks.  Streak was a sweet little brownish girl with a white line up her forehead..thus, the name Streak.  She would always crawl to me and she was the first to wag her tail like crazy when I would pick her up.  She was a little bit crazy, but I knew she was ours.  She has never been away from her momma, and Aussie still shows her who's boss every now and then.  When Aussie came without her it was not good.  We have searched all day long. Everywhere. We printed flyers and put them up all around.  Aussie has paced the backyard and cried all day long.  She will look at me then look behind me, like I am hiding her baby girl somewhere.  It is so horrible.  I have cried all day long.  I cannot stand the thought of Streak out there somewhere.  They are always together, and we can't figure out what separated them.  It makes me sick at my stomach. I miss her so much, especially because of who she is to our family with her mom and dad being a part before her.  We waited for Aussie's girl, and now she is gone.  I am so so sad and brokenhearted.  My poor kids just want her back.  I know she is a dog.  But when something depends on you and they are lost or hurt, it is the worst feeling in the world.  I just keep on crying.  Pray that we get her back and find out where she is.  God can do this miracle, because that is what it will have to be with no tags and no sign of her.  We want her home again!  One head looking in our window and one head peeking out the fence is just not right.  Pray!

yes, that is the same dog!  she has changed so much...like someone put her in a pot of color and stirred it up.  my sweet puppy!
