That’s ok MERCEDES,I hear it’s going around,They’ll probably have the whole county Quarantined before it’s over. that foot in the mouth can be a bad thing,I’ve had it a few times myself.

mercedes once again puts foot in mouth, so to speak. HA!

In all likelihood the speed limit in that neighborhood is 25mph or less.  If he had been doing the limit, he should of had ample time to stop his car before hitting the dog.  Even if he could not stop in time for some extraneous reason, he should not have done much more than roll over the pet with his tires.

It would be in the interest of the pet owners to photograph the accident scene and demonstrate the probable speed at which this careless individual went careening down the roadways putting pets and children at risk of severe injury or death.

Accidents happen. That is the reason they are called accidents instead of “On Purposements”.

i was intending this issue to die a peaceful death.  however, after reading some comments i felt i simply had to respond. firstly, MERCEDES, you aren’t by any chance an attorney, are you??  please don’t give this man any more ideas,hes’s doing fine on his own.
secondly, BAMABOB, i agree.  a quick trip to bebos would have fixed this mans problem.  i just didn’t want to be crass.  unfortunately, incidents such as happened to your moms dog do happen. neither party was guilty.  however, most of these accidents occur due to the negligent pet owner who knowingly allows his animal to roam at large.
thirdly, SOUTHFAN, good thinking.  never swerve to avoid hitting an animal. it’s your first instinct and very hard not to do, but swerving can cause disastrous damage, not only to your vehicle but to yourself as well.  do not slam on the brakes either.  there may be another car immediately behind you or cause you to lose control .  ease up on the accelerator and say a quick prayer..........
