This is a tough one posting because I don't know what happened. Friday night I let all the kids out in the ferret room for a play time and cage cleaning...when everyone went back in I did a head count and all appeared normal...around 2am I woke to a horrible screeching sound and jumped up to find my lab had my hollie in her mouth. Chance dropped her on command but it was too late...she went to the bridge 15 minutes later with me holding her and telling me how sorry I was. I don't know how she got out ...but I know one thing I have been beating myself up over it because it was horrible...no blood or anything...Chance just shook her and I think did internal damage. The cage seemed fine and now I am wondering if I did a miscount or if she slipped out when I went to answer the phone. I just doesn't make sense...please no flames...I have been depressed enough over some events with my son this summer and really don't need beat up anymore...I will never forget the look inm her eyes when she passed....I have been numb and I know I will make peace with this but I just feel so damn stupid.....fly high my sweet and pleasse, please remember mommy is so sorry....and so is Chance.
