Possibly a Hit and Run Murder.

Last night (Saturday) between 7pm and 7:30pm our dear little Max decided to try and cross the road out the front of our house. Unfortunately the driver of a car failed to see or slow down at the same time. It's highly possible that the driver was speeding as many cars do along our street.

It was a little after 7:30 that I went outside to call Max in only to discover his body lying on the nature strip, someone had placed his body there after moving it from the road. I don't know if it was the person who was driving the car that hit him or someone else came along later.

It was a terrible discovery, but by the looks of things the death would have been instant, so there would be little pain and suffering following the contact.

It's been extremely hard to come to terms with as he was a very much loved part of our home and loved us equally as much. we keep thinking back to what would less than an hour prior to the incident when we went to let him in, but at the time he didn't come. Had he come inside at that time, then he would still be alive with us today.

But now we have to try and move on with our lives knowing that we will never be able to feel his warmth and hear him. We do believe that he is now in heaven watching us and having much fun with the other little ones up there.

This all came just a couple of days after our other little one was injured after was probably a close call with another car. We really need to get out of this place now and will be moving this week and to a street that doesn't have so much traffic.
