Wow...What a horrible thing to deal with...I can't even imagine how I'd feel if my dog were hit by a car...Glad the dog was fine.

Aw...I loved it! it is making me think of my doggy, he was 8 years old and he was my baby. he died almost 3 years ago. again, Loved your story!

All I could think while reading this was please, please let Lightwarai's dog be okay. And I am so, so happy that Lady/Lorien is! I don't have pets, but I can only imagine what it must be like to go through something like that with a beloved pet.

As for the story, I think you wrote it beautifully. Callie channeled your thoughts well, and as diehard of a Nancy/Frank fan as I am, I think this story worked perfectly as Frank/Callie. I'm not too familiar with Callie's character, but I think you wrote her very well -- scared for her dog, but also showing compassion for the woman who unwittingly harmed her.

I hope Lady has a speedy recovery, and I hope to read more from you soon!

Aw. I'm so glad your dog's OK!!

Oh, I am so glad your Lady is okay. *hugs* Pets are like family.

This was a great piece of writing. And it was Frank/Callie. Those are rare these days. Yet you wrote this couple well. Honestly, I usually forget about Callie.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Interesting story and I can see this happening to Frank and Callie. Thanks, Beth Palladino

Maybe it's just because I'm hyper-sensitive to what's been going on in the personal lives of so many of my on-line friends lately, but I had such a hard time thinking of this story in terms of happening to 'Frank' and 'Callie'.

All I could think was this is *your* story...this is *your* pet...this happened to *you* and *your* husband.

Which isn't to say this is a bad piece of writing. Far from it. I just felt truly awful for you, knowing it actually happened.

But writing about it sure is cathartic, isn't it?

Oh, and thanks for writing it as a Callie/Frank piece, since hardly anyone ever seems to want to pair those two in this fandom. Thank God for those daily miracles, even if it takes some time and distance to eventually see them.

I am so glad your baby is all right. As I type this Daisy sits in my lap grooming herself and Mozart is purring at my feet and I'm grateful that they are close by me. I worry every day for the safety of my babies, and I can only imagine how horrible it was for you to see your's hurt in any capacity.

The story itself was incredibly good. The best therapy I've ever read. I liked that you did a Callie/Frank, Callie does deserve some positive attention, and it's nice to see diversity every once in awhile. Now I'm going to play with my kitties because this story makes me want to appreciate the time I have with them and not take them for granted.

First of all, I'm very glad your dog is okay. I have a cat, and he's my baby, so I understand how that could be so upsetting.

I liked that you chose to use Frank and Callie for this experience. I've gotten so used to seeing F/N that I forget about poor Callie sometimes. Thanks for sharing, even though it was meant for therapeutic purposes. I still liked it. :)
