rant!

i left work early today so i could curl up on my bed with cramps. i went out to my car, started it, got half a block down to the corner. i saw two beautiful golden-colored dogs running around the intersection, so i started yelling (my windows were down) because that's all i could think to do. a car drove through the intersection rather quickly, and from what i can figure out, one of the dogs hit his(her?) head against the car as it drove by. i put on my blinkers, got into park, and got out of my car. i tried so hard to get the dogs to come to me so i could look at their tags and call the owners (they were really friendly dogs, with good tags on their collars), but they wouldn't hold still long enough for me to see a number. the one that got hurt had a bloody nose, but was running around fine with the other. i walked from door to door ringing doorbells and knocking, and nobody came to the door. my hands were bloody from the dog, and i was walking around with the dogs following me. something spooked them, and they ran off. i drove a bit farther, after wiping my hands off in the grass, and couldn't find them again when i got out. total, i stopped three times, each time the dogs thought i was playing with them when i tried to get them to settle down. i just wanted to scream at that car for going through the intersection so quickly, injuring a dog, and not stopping.

i tend to really beat myself up over things like this... not able to forget them for days. so, i'm trying to remind myself that the dog couldn't have been that badly injured if it was able to run around just fine... so that's good. i just hope nothing else happens to them, and they get home safely. and people slow the fuck down. what the hell.
