Haven't cried in a while..

I hit a prairie dog on the freeway today on my way to a hiking trail with Apple. It ran right into my lane and stopped in the middle of the road. I slowed down to give it time to run out of the way, and I tried not to hit it, but it ran into my back tire. I heard the crunch and looked in my rear view mirror to see it's front half smashed to the

*hugs back* My animal eyes failed me today. *sobs*

I am the same way with movies too! If animals get hurt in movies I will stop watching. I was just talking about this the other day. I was watching iRobot and I said that as amazing as the entire movie is, the part where Will Smiths character saves the cat actually made the movie ten times better to me. And the guys I was talking to seemed confused by that. Like, they didn't understand at all. *sigh*

I have no doubt that God intended animals to hold a special bond with man, aside from being a source of food and labor. But I have absolutely no idea whats the deal with insects. lol! ^_^

Oh gosh, I would have cried too! Although, it's not as though you didn't try and avoid it! And, it was a quick end right?
I'm such a wimp I don't kill any bugs! I feel bad if I accidentally run over a worm with the pram! :0

Yeah, I remember one time when I was younger I smashed a spider because my mom asked me to.. and I felt sick inside. I'm usually the one exhausting myself trying to shoo flies outside while everyone else resorts to the fly swatter. hehe..

Ahhh, I'm soooo glad people are relating to my post. I was actually half expecting to be picked on. *is comforted* ^_^

I do that too...don't feel bad. I hit a bunny with Turner in the car and he tried to make me feel better cause I didn't know if it was dead for sure [I should've known that it was] and I went back and he got out and looked on the side of the road and was like "He's fine he ran off" trying to make me feel better and I got out and there was the poor bunny and I was like "You're a liar!" and was crying. Poor bunny

I hate mathtoo. =)

LOL.. I know that's not funny (obviously), but at least he was trying to protect you!

Driving through the Sequoias with my ex-boyfriend Daniel (again, grrr!) we hit something that was already in the road. I instinctively asked, 'What was that?' while looking in the side mirrors. I saw it was a dead cat but Daniel said nonchalantly, without missing a beat, 'It was some old rags.'

It was so sweet that I didn't let him know I knew. But I think the moral of your story is, 'Never go back to check.' Hehe! ^_^

I hit a raccoon once. I tried to avoid it but the thing ran the wrong way. It made me sad til I drove by later and it wasn't on the road or in the ditch.

My dad said a coyote ate it. I think it lived and had lots of baby raccoons that will rifle through my garbage some day.

Are you thinking of June Bugs/Beetles for those red things? Cause I hate those. They could also be box elder bugs. There are a ton of those around here...

[gynjii]

Naw, they weren't June Bugs.. we have those in California too. They almost looked like what I used to call 'kissing bugs' but they have a rounder, longer shape. *shrugs* I guess I suck at describing unknown insects. hehe..

And your quote about the racoon living and having lots of babies totally made me laugh out loud. And when my friend Pam asked why I was laughing I had to read it to her and she laughed too. Hehe.. you nut! ^_^
