Oh Peggy, that does make me smile. Thank you. I woke up so sore this morning and the accident won't stop playing in my head... I really wish it would. I see it so clearly, kind of in slow motion. I even remember what I was thinking too and what I did to try and avoid it and I can see there was no way I could of avoided it. I slammed on my breaks and swerved but I was already too close to her. The worst thing is that for a split second I thought I was gonna be able to stop and then I didn't. That is one of the worst feelings, a glimpse of hope and then bam, knowing there was nothing I could of done...
I think I will go with a hard carrier for Monster. How do you seatbelt it in though? Before the accident, I really wanted a console car seat for him, which would of kept him safe in this accident but probably not in a worse one. He may have gotten some burns from the airbags though but I'm not sure. I know he would of been traumatized and I hope he never has to go through that because I don't know if he could handle the stress.

(OT) So sorry to hear this, but thank goodness you weren't seriously hurt! Car accidents do have a way of staying with you for a couple of days. I know when I had mine years ago, the whole thing just kept going over and over in my head. I too didn't want to ever drive again, but I had to go to work and I had no choice but to take the same road to get their, but I did avoid that lane that it happened in, lol! I too, choose a hard carrier that is seat belted in the back seat for Gigi. I was going to get a car seat, but then I thought that if the car was to roll or the roof cave in, then they are totally exposed. At least in a hard carrier they have some cushion as opposed to a car seat or soft carrier. Princess does have a harness attached to the seatbelt and now I am thinking of getting her another carrier that will also fit in the back seat. The one that I have for her now is too big to fit in the back along with Gigi's. I am so glad that you are okay, and sorry to hear that you lost your car. Hope your bruises and aches and pains go away fast. Hugs, Peggy Gigi and Princess give licks to help heal and put a smile on your face too! -------Original Message------- From: [email protected] Date: 2/17/2011 10:46:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Chihuahuas] What a night... (OT) Well, I have had a horrible night. Someone pulled out in front of me and I hit them causing the airbags to blow... So, I'm all sore, bruised, and burnt Other than that I am doing ok. My car on the other hand, is not... I will probably be needing a new one. I'm a little sad about that since it was my very first car and I've had it for around 7 years now. Anyways, after the initial shock and after I realized that it really happened, one of the first things I thought was I'm so glad Monster wasn't with me. He would of been hurt so bad! It makes me really want a car seat for him. Actually, it makes me never wanna be in a car again. Especially with Monster. I'd rather walk.. I hope none of yall ever have to experience this. Driving is so dangerous! I think we need a new, safer mode of transportation... Lorena Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
