12/31/2008 2:07:44 AM

12/31/2008 2:09:39 AM

To the pet cemetery!

years ago, my aunt's dog was hit by a truck speeding down the main road through newport, NC. its a small town and the speed limit is like 35 but he was going about 50. so he kept going and drove right through this 90+ lb dog. anne (the dog) flew probably about 50 feet and rolled another 30 before stopping. died shortly afterward. could never find the guy

12/31/2008 2:10:23 AM

Do whatever else he asks of you, within reason. You killed his dog. You're both people, you can work something out. He probably just wants you to go away and wants to bury his pet.

12/31/2008 2:25:10 AM

yea i asked if there were anything else i could do and he said no. i figured he just wanted me the hell out of his yard to go bury the thing.

i've decided to not feel guilty. dogs run out in front of cars. it happens. happened to three of mine...

12/31/2008 2:27:35 AM

tell him his dumb ass should have had his dog on a leash

and that you're amused by the lack of purpose its death had, as if the meaninglessness in death was a reflection of how meaningless the pet must have been to him in life, for him to leave it off a leash next to the highway

12/31/2008 2:29:34 AM

Your Life > A dog


Thank you for not swerving, it's instinct. But seriously, shit happens. Call me an ass but life is not always pretty. It was nice of you to stop dude, thats all you can do.

Once when I was in the 7th grade I was walking up to the school bus stop near the main road. Somehow my dog broke out of the fence and ran up and started chasing cars. Some douche in a convertible wearing a power tie hit her and didn't even slow down. She must have rolled like 20 feet... luckily she got away with just a broken leg and some bruises and fully recovered, but man now that I look back at it, it was hilarious seeing her roll so fast. Needless to say, she never went near that road again.

12/31/2008 8:46:17 AM

^^ftw.


i hit a cat once, got home and noticed chunks of cat stuck to the insides of my right side wheels

Hit a cat when I had just gotten my truck. fucker ran out in front of me in the dark, went thump, flew up in the air and landed on the hood of the car behind me. oh I would've hated to have been in that car. Passenger was probably like "wtf, it's raining cats"

12/31/2008 8:59:41 AM

one of my neighbors ran over my cat. this happened 4 year ago. She has yet to come and even appologize for it. That's all I want.

12/31/2008 9:02:26 AM

note: if someone runs over my dog... i will probably hunt them down...

secondary note: i don't allow my dog to be in positions to easily be ran over.

12/31/2008 9:04:46 AM

are you serious? you let your cat out to play in the street and you want someone who was legally using the street to apologize for your lack of responsibility?

12/31/2008 9:08:07 AM

^ Agreed.

12/31/2008 9:08:38 AM

BOOM,

HEADSHOT.

12/31/2008 11:57:42 AM

should've backed over it to make sure it wasn't suffering

offer to buy him a cat

12/31/2008 12:00:34 PM

Stop making me laugh. I feel bad.

12/31/2008 12:01:23 PM

this makes me want to cry

12/31/2008 12:02:23 PM

thats why you get your dog one of those shock collars that shocks the shit out of him if he goes outside the fence when you don't want him to.

I'm a dog person and have a dog, and yet I still agree with this.

It sucks but it happens. And just b/c the dog was in the road doesn't mean the owner was just letting the dog fuck around. My stupid ass dog sneaks through the open door occasionally and runs around like an idiot, oblivious to cars. Shit happens.

I have hit dogs before and felt bad about it, but if someone lets their dog loose near a road, they assume the risk of it getting hit.

what happens when you don't hit the dog

Quote :

"SUV driver misses dog, hits house SUV into Durham house Posted: Today at 2:04 p.m. Updated: Today at 6:33 p.m. Durham, N.C. — An SUV slammed into the side of a house Friday afternoon when the driver swerved to avoid hitting a dog and lost control of the vehicle, police and neighbors said. The vehicle went through the wall of the garage at 1 Regan Court, off Chance Road in east Durham at about 1 p.m., police said. No injuries were reported. "I'm at a loss for words as to how something like this could happen," homeowner Nancy Mack said. "I just still can't believe it. It's something that you would never imagine happening in a lifetime." Mack said she was in another part of the house when the incident occurred. "I opened the garage door, (and ) I said, 'My God, how did that car get all the way in here?'" she said. The garage is used primarily for storage, she said. She said she's lost some possessions, but she is glad the damage wasn't worse. "Thank God it was in the garage instead of being in the other part of the house," she said. No charges have been filed in the case, which remains under investigation."

Hmm....I haven't hit a dog yet. Hopefully I never will. In fact, I don't recall being the driver for any of these mishaps, someone else has been driving. I guess I've been quite lucky.

Unfortunately my Camry is an animal magnet and we are guaranteed to run over something on long trips. Originally it was just on trips to Florida for cave diving, but now it's apparently any long trip.


The dead list:
1: Bat, trip to Florida, July 2008
2: Bambi, trip to Florida, July 2008**
3: (not actually sure what we hit, looked like a cross between a dog and a rabbit), trip to Florida, March 2008
4: Cat, trip to Wisconsin, December 2008
5: ?????


**We were doing 70mph one afternoon on a back road and I didn't see Bambi until it was in the middle of the lane about 2ft in front of the bumper (apparently ran from the side of the road, I didn't see it)-- no time to hit the brakes or swerve. I was in the passenger seat, saw the dear, flinched, heard a THUD and then 'snap crackle pop' as it rolled under my car.

We stopped, got out, and it was somehow already on the side of the road, every bone in it's tiny body broken. I'm fairly certain there was no suffering since we hit it so hard and fast.


We checked my car for damage but didn't see any obvious signs. A few months later I noticed the lower plastic crossbar on the front bumper was broken, and I figured if that was the complete extent of damage, no worries.

It was only a few weeks after that when I was having the annual inspection performed that we saw the actual extent of the damage. There was the clear imprint of a deer in my radiator (amazingly no leaks), the lower portion of the front bumper was barely being held on, and both tow-hooks were bent completely inward.


After hitting that deer, on the same drive that night, we had a family of armadillos try to commit suicide while we were pulling into the driveway.


If you drive in rural backcountry Florida, you're practically guaranteed to run over something.

1/2/2009 9:57:41 PM

as someone who loves dogs, his dog should not have been in the street. that's not your fault.

1/2/2009 10:12:53 PM

Any damage to your vehicle? He ought to pay for it.
