So sorry, Carol. May you all find peace.

Lance and I went for a long walk on Wednesday and he totally enjoyed it and was very happy. So sorry about everything but will hold the memory of that walk very close.

shit i cant stop crying for little mini me and for that poor lost soul, lance. you did way more than anyone else would have done carol i am so sorry. dont know what else to say.

We were out last night and I only just read the blog this morning. So very very sad. Sweet little Mini-Me - RIP darling.

Omg! So sorry to hear this. Carol, as all others sy, it is NOT your fault. I feel so sorry for Mini... The poor little sweetie.

Oh Carol.... It's not your fault! You do so much good....
Big comforting hugs, prayers, wishes, love ...... All of whatever I can send to help you heal. All of you

so sorry to hear that and please don't beat yourself up over this. I don't think anyone would have thought he would go after another dog.

So sorry Carol,

Sometimes life is just too cruel. Take good care of yourself.

I am so sorry Carol. I can't seem to come up with anything that sounds right to say. How devastating. I know you do everything you can to keep everyone safe....

Oh, Carol, I am so, so sorry. I've had personal experience with losing one pet to another pet and I remember how sick to my stomach I felt. I know a little of how it feels to work so hard to juggle everything and keep all your balls in the air, only to have one fall - it's crushing. Just please know that others have been there too.

So Sorry. I know how shitty it feels as I've had to block out Ralph's death as I couldn't deal with it.

What Mo said Carol; So very very sad. - but the worst part of all of this tragedy is what this is doing to you. Those of us who know YOU, know the immense love your heart holds for each and every one of the animals in your care, and that same heart has had to endure immense pain and brokenness because of those animals you love as well. There is no blame - only acceptance and healing. Please give yourself a break and know there are lots of hugs surrounding you tonight.

Oh Carol, I am so sorry. We all do the best we can. Please take comfort in knowing that Lance and Mini are at peace. They don't blame you. May the love and prayers of all your friends help you through this difficult time.

So very sorry Carol sending you big hugs, what an awful week this is turning into. Sweet dreams to Mini & Lance such a terrible shame. Please don't blame yourself no one loves the saints animals as much as you and they always come first with you. I'm gutted for you.

Carol - I have finally stopped crying and re-read the devastating news. You are playing the "I shoulda" game. We all play it at some time or another, especially when something totally heart wrenching occurs. I played it for weeks following the death of my beloved llama Star when she was killed by a bear. "I should have known to put them in the barn at night" - " I should have heard her calling for help" -" I should have known a bear could kill her" " I should have....." I still play that game 7 years later, but I try not to dwell on it as I know it can drive me crazy, and it was no one's fault - not mine, not the bear's (although I still have trouble forgiving him)not anyone's. Scream your agony to the sky, cry & beat the walls- but do NOT beat yourself up. We all want to believe the animals in our care will be safe & cared for, but bad stuff happens - it is part of life. Just remember you did your best & Mini loved you. that's all anyone can ask of themselves, and others.

Oh god..so sorry..so sad..do not lay blame on yourself..you always do what you do for the animals..you cant predict everything ...You gave mini the best years of her life and you gave Lance the best chance at life.

RIP Lance and MiniMe..you will be missed

Oh Carol, how incredibly sad. Nancy said it all.

God bless.

What an absolutely gut wrenching day for you.. I'm so very sorry. After so much sadness in the last week, that is too much for one person to bear. Please know that you are in the thoughts and hearts of the many people who read your blog. Please take care of yourself.

You're not incompetent, nor stupid. Don't beat yourself up. How could you undo what ugliness humans had done to Lance? He couldn't help what he had become. Yes, it is extremely sad about mini me - one can only go forward. We learn from every experience, good or bad. You do so much for all the unwanted/difficult creatures - you cannot crumble under this horrible experience - you've had so many success stories, they far outweigh this unfortunate thing. RIP Lance & Mini me. May you both find peace.

I am so sorry for you Carol...please take a deep breath and call someone you love so you can talk/cry it out. Your situation is such that you cannot predict these devastating happenings, even as you weigh the risks. You cannot be perfect...you know this in your heart. Forgive yourself as soon as possible and take a mental health day off tomorrow if at all possible. We all love you and feel for you.

Oh my god Carol . I am so sorry. No words... please do NOT blame urself. Can I do anything? No one could of known! So sorry!

oh my god.... Carol.
nightmare on earth Wednesday.
i'm stunned.

my heart breaks for everyone involved.

Oh Carol, please don't beat yourself up about this.
You gave Lance every chance to live a better life but he wasn't able to overcome his challenges. And you couldn't keep him locked up in a kennel or crate any minute you couldn't be with him.
Bad stuff can happen no matter how hard we try to prevent it. I'm afraid it's all part of life and living. And the animals at SAINTS live longer and better than they probably would anywhere else. And a lot of that is down to you and your enormous heart and knowledge.
So have your cry, then take a deep breath, debrief and use this experience to make things better and safer for future animals. Mini and Lance deserve that legacy.
