Squish (almost)

[Racket_Man]

As I was returning from a distance delivery I saw something in the road. It looked like a pile of leaves being moved by the wind. as I got close, the pile appeared to be walking. as I was almost one top of it it turned out to be a small purse type dog just standing in the middle of the street. I managed to swerve around the dog.


DAMN I almost squished someones dog. AND I would not have felt like a bump or crunch or anything if I had.

Yes I encounter animals like squirrels and rabbits all the time (esp after dark) but come on I almost killed someones dog.

I ran over someone's kitty once. It bolted out from beneath some hedges right in front of my car. In the time it took me to see the kitty, lift my foot from the gas, and start to move it over to the brake pedal, it went right under my tire. I cried a lot on the paper route that morning...

I tend to shift the blame to where it lies: with the owners.

I, thankfully, have never hit a pet animal, but I've come close a couple of times, and every time I take a few moments to roundly curse out the owner responsible for a beloved pet running loose in the roadway.
