:'(

Yesterday was a fun day... until the end.

We had a combined YM/YW activity.  It was a pool party at my 1st counselors moms house.  The Bishopric came and they BBQ'd some hamburgers and hot dogs for us and we had the greatest turnout that we've had in a long time.  A little puppy showed up and she was one of the friendliest dogs I've ever met.  She gave everyone lots of kisses and we all wanted to take her home with us.  But we figured it was one of the neighbors dogs, so a couple of the kids went to some of the surrounding houses to see who the dog belonged to.  Nobody claimed the dog, and my 1st counselor didn't want the puppy in the backyard because she kept getting into the trash and she was afraid that she would poop.  So we put the puppy out front and closed the gate. 

When we were all leaving the puppy was still there, friendly as ever so we said goodbye to her and everyone started to leave.  The kids I was taking home were like the last ones to get changed and stuff so I was waiting around forever. :p  We finally all got into the car and as I was turning my car around I hit a big bump.  And then I heard it.  That poor puppy had been either under or right next to my car and I had just ran her over.  That poor thing yelled so loud. :(  I jumped out of my car and pulled her out from under it.  She was crying and had peed from the trauma of the hit.  The owner came running out of his house and down to us.  He carefully picked her up and as he did she stopped crying and went limp.  I just kept saying I'm so sorry over and over and the man very calmly told me, "it's not your fault".  I could see how sad he was to have lost that sweet little puppy though.  I have never felt so helpless in my entire life.  And I feel awful.  There was absolutely nothing that I could do to help that puppy or to make that situation better.  I know it was an accident, but I just with there was something I could do to make everything all better. :(
