Tiffany, this day has to be so hard for you. My Sheila (alias Houdini) escaped from 2 fences when she was 2 yo. I also saw her get hit. I'm lucky that she's okay, but she will always have a bad leg. Since our animals are thinking creatures with their own motivations, we can not always control their behavior. I feel guilty as well, but I know I could not have stopped her that day. The squirrel she was chasing was far more important than listening to me. Unfortunately, accidents happen, and, like Stacy said, we have to forgive ourselves.
