About 10 min after i put them out this AM, Chan was missing from the yard, Jules sitting on the walk looking down the street, so i figured that’s the way she had gone. I jumped in my car to drive down looking for her and backed into xsteen’s RAV4, denting the corner of the back fender. Found chan 2 yards over from the guy next door. We had forgotten to put the electric collar back on after the groomer and while Jules was a good boy and stayed close to home, Chan decided to go on a long explore. So i felt sick about hitting her car. i DO STUFF LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, as you know. i have hit something in the driveway/garage close to a handful of times. My husband is a saint, he never yells, just says don’t worry about it, we will take care of it. etc. I was relating the story to the two paralegals this AM. Both are 60+ yo and divorced and when i said xshub didn’t yell and was very nice and comforting, they were both floored and agreed their EXes would have shot them if they’d done something like it. xsteen was also nice about it, had it been xsboy’s car, i assure you he would have been mad, and it could have just as easily been him, bc they vye for that spot at the top of the driveway outside of my side of the garage. I still feel terrible and prob will for awhile.

Well you were already upset about the missing baby dog so that is understandable that you would have been distracted and bumped the car. Good for your husband not making a big deal out of it, and also for your daughter being understanding.

My husband is like yours - doesn't get upset about little things. As my Marine would say to you, "calm down, it could be worse - no one is shooting at you"

I remember the day my mom backed out of the garage with one of the station wagon doors still open. Bent it up real good.
