Country Mouse Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 We went for a family walk in the field behind our house to enjoy the beautiful spring day and unbeknownst to us there was a downed power line in the field. Our dog was running and frolicking as she loved to do and she encountered the live power line before any of us even knew what was going on. It was very traumatic and we are all heartbroken.

Samiam Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I am so sorry, that is just a horrible thing to have happened. A thought is that she did not die in vain, but instead possibly saved your own lives notifying you that the power line was down. Just think if it had been your children running ahead instead of her. It's almost like she was protecting you. Comforting thoughts for the times of sadness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are absolutely right - that is what dh kept saying - "so glad it wasn't our boy...so glad it wasn't our boy..." We notified the utility co. immediately and they came right away to deal with it. It had been down for quite a while, there were other animals (even pets :() that had also been killed. Thanks to everyone for your comforting words. I knew I could count on the hive for cyber hugs.

It very easily could have been a child or parent on a walk. I think they need a lawyer calling them to remind them that this is a serious situation.
