I really could use some prayers. I've never asked for prayers or anything much in life from anyone. But these past 24 hours have been pretty rough… last night on the way back home from work Benjamin and his guys swerved to avoid hitting several deer that ran out in front of them & ended up in a ditch & then they got hit by two vehicles because one wasn't paying attention to the fact that they had their emergency lights on because they were just getting out of the ditch & the elderly man was speeding going well over 80 miles an hour on a very curvy, dark country road that has lots of swamps around it in his brand new Cadillac that still had the 30 day tags on & hit a young guy in a Subaru outback, whose vehicle spun around after impact & both vehicles hit each other & hit both of Benjamin's trucks, ending up kind of on top of the back of one of Benjamin's trucks. And well, everybody's vehicles were totaled. I didn't get any sleep because I had to takeoff and go see him/them, but everybody was already gone/ taken to the hospital by time I got up there because it was an hour & a half away and this happened around 8:30 last night. So I ended up getting back home very early this morning & got the dogs out & then I went down the street to go get some coffee & on the way back home then I saw the dog that I posted that had been hit & killed and was just left laying on the corner of a very busy street. I just couldn't leave him there so I had to get it up in the truck & take it to the veterinary place, but I knocked on some doors & some business before taking it to the vet, just to see if anybody was missing a dog but nobody knew who's it was so I took it to the vet & they found the owner because it did have a microchip so they were on the way to pick it up. So well all of this stuff has just left me emotionally, physically & mentally drained. But I'm just thankful that everybody's alive from the accident because like the trooper said, it could've been worse. That's why I always tell people appreciate & value the times that we have with family, friends & loved ones because that's all it takes is one little thing & our lives can be changed in an instant. Material possessions can always be replaced, but people can't & so that's why I also always tell people slow down, stop speeding & take your time so that you get to your destination & other people get to theirs safe & sound because it's better to get somewhere late than to never get there at all. And I'm heartbroken about the dog too because some of y'all might know that tomorrow's gonna be 5 months since 2 of my dogs were hit & one was killed(Charlie who was a coonhound) & the other one Bear, my chocolate lab was left injured & needing knee repair surgery & was left traumatized & with anxiety & depression. The person just hit them in my yard & kept on going. Never stopped and never slowed down & it's such a hard thing to get over & I still cry every single day for him & that being that I'm not a very emotional person because Bear has changed completely & I miss him the way that he was & I still adore him & love him very much but he's so different. He's an anxious, nervous, scared pup now, not the sweet, innocent carefree puppy that he was before the accident. He's still my sweet boy and I know that it's just gonna take more time and lots more love, patience and understanding. I miss Charlie terribly & it's just been so hard for me the past 5 months to deal with the loss of one & the other needing constant extra care because he's in & out of the hospital constantly. I can only imagine what the people whose dog was hit this morning are feeling…it makes me even feel worse then I already do about everything else. Sorry this has been a long post, but I really did feel the need to vent because I never do really… I just keep stuff to myself & keep on going until I basically feel like I'm gonna lose my mind…͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏
