Perhaps I'm naive, but I always thought when an animal got hit on the highway, the animal was the biggest casualty. I have since been educated.
On a recent trip to Southaven, a stupid, white dog was in the middle of the highway. I was in the fast lane with a row of cars on my right and a concrete barrier on my left. Which meant I had nowhere to go. I slammed on my brakes and tried to miss the dog (which stupidly stood there and looked at me). Needless to say I most definitely hit it.
I continued driving, feeling a little sad for the dog and never once considering the impact it could have had on my car. I rushed into my meeting, and ran a few errands and never saw my passenger side. Until I was ready to head back down to the Delta and I saw exactly what that stupid dog caused.
Since then, I swear I see at least one dog every time I drive. It's like they're taunting me. And since I don't want anymore damage on "Journey", they win every time.
Dumb dogs.
Oh no! Michael hit a dog one time and it broke off his front license plate.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure our dog would do the same thing, just stand there.
I feel like a cat would have so much more sense and simply run away. Do dogs think they're invisible or something?
ReplyDeleteMaybe some just aren't so smart. Franzen nailed one just north of Cleveland a few years ago... Perhaps you should find smaller animals to run into--Babak hit some opossums and a bird, I believe, and his car came away victorious!
