The Deer

Thursday, January 12, 2006

I saw a deer get hit by a car today.  She caught her hindquarters on the headlight of the Toyota and was tossed end over end into the woods beside the road.  It wasn’t the driver’s fault, there were two deer and the first one bolted barely missing the car and the second didn’t get past.  I pulled over to see if the deer was ok, I didn’t see how she could be… she scrambled around for a few seconds… I was scared that she had broken her back… but then hopped up and ran off with the other deer who had waited for her just a few feet away.  And I tried not to cry.  I hope she’s ok.

how traumatic -- i'm trying not to cry just reading about it!

here's hoping she was just in a bit of shock but is perfectly fine.
