PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED ALL THE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS THAT WERE PUT HERE FOR A REASON, LOT'S OF REASONS...
THEY CAN'T SLOW DOWN IN THEIR CARS, INSTEAD THEY HIT THE POOR DEFENSELESS ANIMAL, DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD? NOT ME, IT RIPS MY HEART OUT...
COMMON SENSE IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY AND IT SAYS DEER CROSSING - SLOW DOWN! IT'S A DARN GOOD THING TO DO EXACTLY THAT, DID YOU THINK THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT PUT THAT SIGN UP SO YOU COULD READ SOMETHING? KEEP YOUR EYE'S MOVING AT ALL TIMES, PERIPHERAL VISION COMES INTO PLAY, IF 1 RUNS OUT IN FRONT OF YOU, THERE MAY BE MORE! STOP! IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE, OR A LOVED ONES LIFE, OR A STRANGERS LIFE, OR AS A LOT BELIEVE THE LOVED ANIMALS LIFE, THAT WE ARE ALL RELATED TOO...
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A DEER GETTING HIT BY A CAR GOING OVER 60 MPH? I HAVE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET, THATS A PROMISE!
IF YOU LIVED IN VERMONT AND YOU SAW A MOOSE CROSSING SIGN, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO, IF YOU EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO READ THE SIGN, I WILL TELL YOU, IF YOU HIT A MOOSE, THE MOOSE WILL STILL BE STANDING AND YOU MOST LIKELY WILL NOT!
I WAS COMING HOME FROM AN APPOINTMENT 1 MORNING, 9AM OR SO, CARS ARE GOING TO BOTH EXTREMES TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD, AVOIDING SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE...
IT WAS A BABY BLUE EYE'S SIBERIAN HUSKY, SOMEONE HIT AND LEFT, HIT AND RUNS SHOULD BE A LAW FOR ANIMALS, THE COUNTRY WOULD SURE GET A LOT OF DRUNKS OFF THE ROAD AND MAKE IT A SAFER ROAD FOR YOUR LOVED ONES...
I STOPPED, THREW ON MY 4 WAYS AND RAN TO THE DOG, TOOK HIS HEARTBEAT AND FELT NOTHING, IT CHOKED ME UP, I WAS ON MY KNEES IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY ROAD HOLDING SOMEONES BELOVED DOG PRAYING FOR THAT ANIMAL...
I EVENTUALLY GOT TO MY KNEE'S AND PICKED UP THAT PUPPY AND WALKED TO THE FIELDS AND SAT DOWN WITH THAT PUPPY IN MY LAP, CRADLING THE PUPPY, TALKING TO HIM AND PRAYING FOR HIM THAT HIS SPIRIT GOES QUICK TO THE GREAT SPOT IN MY CULTURE, HE WAS STILL WARM AS I BEGAN TO SHIVER WITH ONLY SHORTS ON AND A DAMP COLD MORNING...
NOT 1 PERSON STOPPED, TOO BUSY FOR WORK, DRIVING KIDS TO SCHOOL, WHAT EVER!
I THEN LOOKED FOR THE DOGS NAME, FOUND THAT, BUT NO HOME PHONE #, THERE WAS A VETERINARIAN # ON TAG, SO I CALLED IT, TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND ASKED FOR THE OWNERS NAME AND WAS REFUSED!
THEY SAID GIVE US YOUR CELL #, I SAID WHY SO WHEN THE LADY CALLS I CAN STORE HER # IN MY PHONE AND CALL HER FOR A DATE? SILENCE ON THE PHONE, OH WELL, SAY SOMETHING STUPID TO ME, YOU MAY GET THAT BACK FROM ME...
MY PHONE RANG AND A HYSTERICAL LADY WAS ON THE OTHER END SAYING SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER DOG FOR 3 DAYS AND THAT SHE KILLED IT, I SAID NO IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, AND SOME OTHER WOMAN JUST STOPPED TO TELL ME, HE DARTED OUT INTO TRAFFIC, HAD THAT WOMAN BEEN GOING SLOWER, THE ENDING OF THE STORY MAY HAVE TURNED OUT BETTER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED...
CLARENCE, NEW YORK, GRIENER ROAD, 2 LANES OF RUSH HOUR IGNORANT PEOPLE!
SO NOW I HAVE TO LADIES CRYING, A PASSED DOG AND A BLANKET I WRAPPED HIM UP INTO AND CARRIED THAT HEAVY DOG TO THE LADY'S SUV...
I LEFT THERE WENT TO STORE, BOUGHT A BEREAVEMENT CARD FOR DOG AND FAMILY, PUT A QUICK NOTE IN IT AND DELIVERED IT TO VET'S OFFICE...
EVERYDAY I TRAVEL DOWN THE ROAD AND POOR ANIMALS ARE KILLED OR HURT BADLY, ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE SIMPLY DO NOT CARE! SLOW DOWN ENJOY THE RIDE, ARE YOU LATE? WAKE UP EARLIER AND SLOW DOWN, DON'T BE TEX-TING YOUR BOYFRIEND, AS YOU JUST LEFT YOUR HOUSE, PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD, DRIVING IS NOT A GIVEN, IT'S A PRIVILEGE, DON'T BELIEVE ME, GET TANKED, DRIVE GET PULLED OVER BY A COP IN NY, REFUSE THE BREATH TEST AND YOU WILL BE ON A LONG JOURNEY UNTIL YOU EVER SEE THE LICENSE BACK, IF YOU HAVE PRIORS KISS THAT PRIVILEGE, SO LONG...
BUY A BIKE, OR START TO HOOF IT AND GET USE TO IT, THEN MAYBE YOU CAN FEEL LIKE A ANIMAL FEELS...
