The dogs were together...RIP HAZEL

Dear Friends,
The worst case scenario has come true. It appears that Hazel and Iris were hit on the same evening, I'm guessing by the same person(s). The neighbor kids found her in a deep ditch literally across the road from where Iris was found. In my grief over Iris, I never looked over there for Hazel. I brought her to the farm on Friday evening, placed beside her mother. I am overcome with loneliness and grief. I'm trying to understand the greater significance of the situation, why it had to happen now, why two great dogs in one fell swoop.
Joe and Bandit came to the farm this past weekend, their visit a wonderful spirit lifter. We downloaded many photos from our digital camera, and found a great family photo of us and the three dogs. I hope to put this on the website/blog soon.
Two things bring me solace right now. 1. Another great dog will find us 2. The person(s) who hit our dogs will get what is coming to them. They knowingly hit them, and then kept driving, never stopping. The cowards could not even own up to their mistake.
I normally live a "Forgive and Forget" philosophy. I feel a pang of seething anger right now. I hope it recedes with time. Thank you for all of your well wishes and love. It is wonderful to know that we have such great people on our team.
