Spooky almost got 'flattened', this morning. Worst of all, by ME!! [View all]

I had to make an early morning run to pick up kibble for the ferals. The roads are snow covered and I was worried they were also slippery so I was driving with extreme caution. The road along the east side to my house is a decline and that's the side where I feed the ferals.

All of a sudden I saw a black bundle of fur dash out IN FRONT OF MY CAR!!! I knew no matter what I did - swerve or hit the brakes - she could also swerve right back into the path of a tire and/or I could lose control of the car. So I tapped the brakes and held my breath.

I know you understand my relief that she dashed just fast enough for me to miss her, and by just inches!!!

She didn't come out when I took out the food. She's probably terrified.

Not the best way to start my week, that's for sure, but it could have been SO much worse.
