Oh did I mention the girl driving the vehicle in fact saw that she hit me but she kept driving and had not remorse or anything, she didn't even try pulling into the parking lot to see if everything was okay! If the universe is kind and right, she will be getting a ticket for this (probably not) or something else today! Because she was in fact, WRONG in not stopping!....READ ABOVE!

What are your thoughts?.....I am okay, by the way, I immediately got up but I was shaken up and was out of it for a few minutes, before heading over to the dogpark. We were in fact able to go visit our veterinarian, if needed! But I wasn't having any part of that so I let Pam feel me for broken bones or anything out of the ordinary! And Pam kept an eye on me at the dogpark and on the walk, and run home. Pam really does care for me!  There really is nothing she will not do for me!

Ok, so that is what happened to me today, I did get a little scraped up by my leg, but one little scrape I can handle, it's the irresponsible driver that hurt more.....the uncaring driver who is putting more lives at risk than needed. So be careful for the non caring drivers out there, and learn from this to become better drivers than that!

Until the next blog,
