Daily Bummer

I hit a dog tonight. I think I clipped it as it ran out of the way. Ugh..I'm hating myself right now. There were two dogs and it was dark and I was by myself so I didn't stop. I asked Sean if I should have stopped and he said I made the right decision not knowing how hurt and angry the dog was and not knowing the state of the other dog and not having anyone with me and it being dark. I looked in my rear view mirror and didn't see anything in the road way so I'm hoping I just bumped him with my tire and he was able to run home.

I'm frustrated though by dog owners that didn't look after their dog. I saw the first dog along side of the road so I started to slow down and then all of a sudden the red dog was in front of me. I feel awful...should I have stopped? Would I understand my point of view if it was my dog that was hit? Why do dog lovers end up being the ones to hit the dogs...there's something cosmically wrong with that!

I also had my first People to People meeting with my Australia students...it was a much better first meeting that last year's. That makes sense I guess because this time I was able to answer questions based on my experience. It looks like we have a great group of students and I'm really excited!

Also...a quick observation...if you're strapped for cash and come into a windfall is it really the wisest investment to frivolously spend money on high priced electronics? Just curious :-)

**Sweet!...no misspellings found...again!**

I agree with Sean. Especially since it happened in the dark-there is no telling what the dog's reaction would be. I'm just glad you're okay!
