My neighbor called me last night--frantic. Her dh had gone to pick her up at the airport and when they returned 5 hours later, the back door was hanging open. All of their registered cats (she's a breeder) as well as their two little dogs were missing. Pebbles is a Tibetan spaniel and Marissa, a papillon. I pet sit for them, and know them so well, so I went to help them look but eventually went home last night.
I had an email this morning, saying they were still missing, but all the cats had come home. A few minutes later, I saw them in their car, going to search again (we're rural). In about 5 minutes we got a phone call--Marissa had been found, dead on the hwy about 1/2 mile away. Pebbles was still missing. An hour or so later I got another call--Pebbles was safe and had found her way back home. So bittersweet.
This is heartbreaking for all. Her owners are blaming themselves, but there is truly no one to blame. It was just a miserable accident. I hope they find peace and healing soon.
RIP Marissa--you were such a cutie
