Death and Mayhem of Local Wildlife

I am truly an animal lover and have been fortunate to not hit many animals with my vehicle in my 17 years of driving. Mostly, I have been a bird killer, it seems birds fly in front of my vehicle all of the time. I have never hit a dog or a cat. I know that would absolutely kill me. I actually stradled a skunk two nights ago to save his life. Lucky for him I am a nascar driver and he lived to talk about it.

Today as I was driving to work, three squirels came bantering across Bramlet road all at once,just as I made the turn toward 380 off of Preskitt. I feared to stop and look but decided I had to know...I was hoping none were hit as I felt I had taken pretty evasive action. I could handle one not making it, but when I opened the door to look (windows were foggy) all three had been hit and were doing what I like to call the "jerk of death". As they lay on the road squirming...dying...I could not help but wonder what they might be saying to one another. One minute they are having fun enjoying what might be the last beautiful day of Fall and the next moment dying! It really does bother me and I will think about it the rest of the day. If you pass by them over the next few days, wish them good thoughts in squirel heaven!
