I Hit a Deer This Morning :(

 I couldn't believe it!!!!!

 

It is just getting light now in the mornings when I leave so it's that time when it's harder to see and even though I knew it was an area where the deer cross, I just couldn't stop in time!!!

 

There were three of them and I hit the last one I braked, so at least I was going much slower than I had been, but after I pulled over and looked behind me to where it was laying on the other side of the road, I just started bawling especially when I kept looking in my mirror, even though I tried so hard not too!!!! and it lifted it's head and looked at me!!!

 

Anyway, I called Mike on the cell phone, and got out of the car to see the damage while I was talking to him. I had gotten the answering machine when I called and by the time he picked up he was pretty worried about me, and wanted to know if I was hurt....no not me I said, but the poor deer is still alive!!

 

Anyway he called the police for me, cuz I was finding it hard to speak without starting to cry again and a man in a half ton truck stopped. He was going to pick up the deer for me, as he'd just picked one up that was hit just up the road. Sounds horrible but they take them to the zoo here for the lions!

 

Then right before our very eyes the deer got up and ran away!!!!! I only hope that he's alright!!!

 

The cop let me go on to work, late as I was, and there is alot of damage to the front of my car, but I was fine and the deer was fine, and that's all that mattered to me!

 

I'll get a pic of the car and post it later on, gotta go cuz they are calling me for supper
