Thank you so much Michelle!

We now know what happened.... The friend who was watching Libs went to a family function. One of her family members wanted to let her out and thought it would be nice to take her off the leash. I am so angry and don't know what kind of person does that to a dog they don't know and can't evaluate!!?? Liberty took off immediately to chase some animal that she spotted and when she chased it across the road she got hit by a passing car...
I NEVER have Libs off leash anywhere else than our neighbourhood (almost zero traffic) and the park.
I'm just so sickened by what happened and can't get my mind around the stupidity of that person.

Thank you Marion for sharing the video it was very sweet!  I can only imagine I would be as angry as you if in the same situation. Showing this brings it home to all of us because I am sure everyone on this forum has taken silly videos and pics with thier little shadows as well, its just heart wrenching...so sorry!

I'm so very sorry for you loss.
What a beautiful girl...and from the video she had the best of times with her humans. 
The tribute and the music touched me deeply.

Thank you Chris. It still didn't get any easier yet. But at least I can look at her pictures again and smile  :)
