Currently, he is downstairs, wanting a fight from anyone. He is upset. And I mean he is literally upset.

For starters, I got home from work today at 4:30 PM. I noticed his dog and my dog running around the yard.

E- about three hours later***

Then my Grandmother calls me from downstairs and tells me his dog passed away in front of my car. But more on this soon

Well, I looked at the Dog and the first thing that comes into my mind is that "My uncle is gonna think I hit the Dog." But I have proof that I did not hit it.

When I pulled up I would have noticed if the dog passed away. Hell, I would not have even parked THAT CLOSE to the Dog if it was even sleeping. I would have honked my horn or something. But no, the Dog was nowhere to be found.

My older Uncle was there too talking with my Grandmother about the house and whatnot. He too would have seen the Dog when he pulls out from the Driveway.

Now, onto the good bit. See, Death kinda has a science. And that science is called Rigor Mortis. It's the time where the muscles stiffen and scientists use this to determine the time of death (In some situations) of Humans. In animals, it depends on the size. In this case, it takes two hours for Rigor Mortis to set in.

The Dog was limp. Which proves that it died not too long ago.

I came home at about 4:30. I learned of this news at 8:00.

When I learned about the Dog. Grandmother said "This is gonna kill your Uncle". And at this time I checked the Dog for leakage of blood or waste in any part of the body. None. The Dog's eyes were open and it's teeth were showing. Which also means it could have died of two causes. One: Heart attack. Two: Heat Stroke

Right now he is throwing shit around in the basement and I am about to call the fucking cops. If he honestly thinks that I killed his Dog and wants to pick a fight with me or break anything of mine. I am gonna call the police.

He's upset. Let him get the anger out first.

People have special bonds with their animals, particularly cats and dogs and other domestic creatures. To have one die on you can really hurt, no matter what the cause.

Anger's just one of the stages of coping with death, first denial then anger (a mask for pain), eventually he'll come to accept it.

When he's done getting the anguish out of his system, talk to him about it in the rational way you presented.

Well he just got done pointing his fingers and yelling at Grandmother. He has five days to leave this house. He just left the house in anger. I checked the damages and there are a lot of holes in the wall, most of his tools are broken, and windows were shattered. Also, the front door to the house has one of the hinges broken off (Because he slammed it), thankfully the glass did not break.

Grandmother is downstairs crying (I just checked on her) and my cousin / Aunt are down there comforting her. My dad is crying too because he had to get in my Uncle's face.

Also, I was right. He did think I hit the Dog.

Well that's unfortunate. Sorry to hear all this is happening, especially to your grandmother.

Families do have their fights like this, though. Here's hoping it all mends soon. Poor dog.

Dad comes into my room just to warn me that he knows my Uncle and he wants a fight. But as a WARNING. Not a threat (Not to me, but basically to anyone who wants to talk about it)

So here is the best course of action that even horse sense could think up:

- Don't look at him. Don't talk to him. Don't even acknowledge he is there. If he wants to talk to me about it he is just going to have to wait until he get's the hell out of my house. Yes, my house. He is only staying here because he is building his own home and just wanted to live here for awhile so he does not have to pay a contract in order to live in an apartment.

- Even if time has passed. It's best not to bring it up. He loved his dog and honestly if he wants to dwell on it so badly that I could have hit him. By God he is going to learn the truth when he dies himself and meets God. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I did not even kill that Dog. Nor hate, nor harm it during the entire time it lived here. Hell, I have a Dog of my own (So Ugly it's adorable) but I would not play with his Dog unless the Dog came to me. I would pet it, play fetch, etc.

These are the courses of action that is more like a reflex.

I know he is grieving. But when he is pointing fingers at my own Grandmother saying it's her fault? My grandmother just got through cancer for fucks sake. These are her last years and she should be happy. She does not need to go through with this shit and I am gonna stand up to him if he pulls that shit to her again. I don't care what you say. He may be my Uncle, I love him to death, but pulling that shit? He won't be my uncle that I know and love for that period of time. He had absolutely no right to do that.

Just an update. He apologized to me earlier today saying that I was right about me not running over his Dog and also apologized to my grandmother about pointing fingers. He also gave my grandmother compensation money as well as repaired any damages he has done. He is also going to continue to move out of this house.

Dad and I were joking around earlier while drinking saying that maybe I should let me Dog hide out for a couple of days or so. But either way, he is still upset about it, and my dad still believes he wants to fight with him.

Whatever really. Problem kinda solved.

Glad to hear it got sorted out in the long run, as these sorts of things tend to.

It really sucks to lose a dog, something that's loyal and loving to you no matter what.
