So the afternoon started out ok, Liam was helping me clean up the yard.  More like playing with the leaves. It was a nice afternoon leading to a nice cool night for trick or treating.  After I was done,  I told Liam to go put on his Iron Man costume and I put on my Mickey Mouse Sorcerer’s Apprentice hat and gloves.  We were waiting on the front steps for Linette and Roslyn to come back from a birthday party.when some trick or treaters came by our neighbor’s across the street.  As usual their dog ran out across the street to say hello.

As he started to race back a black Mercedes SUV was coming down the street, I tried to go after the dog and flag the car to slow down or stop, but she did not and the poor dog went under the wheel.

I will not go into detail of what happened as it was a horrific site, and one I wish Liam didn’t have to see.

My heart goes out to our neighbors for they lost their little Hamlet way too soon.
