and while I feel really badly about it, I'm also mad that it messed up my truck. I was going to Cleburne for the grocery shopping. It was dark. Was on the turnoff on 67. One dog ran out of the tall grass next to the ramp, I slowed down and avoided him. The right away another dog ran out and I hit it. There would have been no way to avoid it, as I see it. It was just there. Big dog, too. Well, it made quite a thump.
Since I was on the ramp, 55 mph speed limit and a car behind me, there no way to safely stop. I've learned the hard way not to mess with an injured animal. Got bit up pretty bad by my own dog once and she was tiny. Knocked the fog light out of the truck and I guess I ran over it.
I'll have to get that replaced. No other damage, really. I went back the next day and it was gone. I know I killed it. I'm awfully sorry about it, and if I were in a place where I could have stopped I might have. It was not near a neighborhood or anything, so I doubt I could have found the owner. Just sucks all the way around.
Could have been worse. Could have been a deer.
