Seeing a dog get hit by a car...

[tothebeach08]

I almost (within 1 foot) hit a baby deer last night.

I ran over a kid once. Seriously. Fortunately I was going really slow and only his hand ended up under my tire.
I was freaked out for weeks, mostly about what could have been.

I got hit by a car in vegas. True story. Luckily it was just the mirror, but I still shudder everytime I think about it....it was pretty close to being really bad.

When I was 8, I was riding with my grandpa in his truck on a country road. All of a sudden, out of a cornfield a bunch of dogs come running into the road. Gramps swerved, but still hit the lead dog. Turns out it was a mom dog with a bunch of puppies.

Me being 8 and seeing all these newly orphaned puppies, I started to cry a little. Him being a giant dick, he thought it was time to make a man out of the crying little boy, so he reached behind his truck's seat, got out a .22 rifle and made me put the dog out of it's misery in front of it's puppies. Hardest thing I've ever done.

I almost lost one of my best friends in college. He had already been run over twice, but the third time about did him in. I decided it would be a good idea to go "skitching" one night as we headed out after closing a bar down. If you aren't familiar with skitching, it's when you hang on to the bumper of a car and let it pull you around on the snowy streets like a sled. Problem was, it was August. But I figured the loose gravel would work just as well, so I picked a strangers car and crouched down and hung on to the bumper.

My friend was wearing flip flops, and decided to entertain me by joining me. The car didn't like that we were on the back, and put it in reverse. I got out of the way, but my friend slipped and fell on his back and the car rolled on top of his chest. The car pulled away quickly as we looked in horror. He jumped up, coughed a few times and slapped his chest like maybe he got hit in the chest with a baseball. You know, a little shocking but nothing too bad.

So we breated a sigh of relief and headed for home. 5 minutes later he is is coughing up blood, so we take him to the hospital. Not sure exactly what all happened, but he was in the hospital for over a week.

Even before this incident his nickname was "Car Magnet". We called him that or "Butt leg" because of the skin graph they had to do to fix his leg up from a previous encounter with a car.

That is so effed up.

How awful. Who makes an 8 year old shoot a dog?

Unrelated: My ex ran over a homeless guy riding a bike in the middle of the road, late at night, in a horrible thunderstorm. The ambulance guys on the scene told him the guy was dead. It turned out he survived, but that was pretty traumatic for my ex.

He's a douche bag. I have a few other sad and pathetic run in's with him that defy logic.

Holy crap. I seriously would not have been able to do it.

I've always been really affected by turtle's getting run over for some reason. Seeing the shell cracked open makes me queasy and sad. It looks like the most painful thing imaginable.
