That was a tough day.
A month ago, while backing her minivan out of the garage, my wife had the misfortune of backing over her favorite cat and killing it.
I can't begin to describe how distraught my wife was, so I won't even try. However, from the cat's actions earlier, I suspect it may have been very ill and unable to move fast enough to clear out from under the van.
Here's where it gets interesting. An unfortunate witness to it all was a littermate of the cat that got killed, also a two year old spayed female named "Snowflake". After the fact, all I could do was get a shovel, go across the driveway into the shelterbelt, dig a grave, and bury the one that got killed. Snowflake stayed right with us the whole time, mewing kind of softly.
When the burial was done, I got out a hose and cleaned a bit of mess off the driveway. When I was putting the hose away, I heard a cat in the shelterbelt and walked over to investigate. Snowflake was sitting beside the grave and crying. I'll be forever convinced that pets are aware of more than we realize and are just as capable of feeling and expressing emotion as humans.
Didn't mean to hijack your thread, but it came to mind.
Sorry for the loss of you dog, and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
