Dirt Nap by grammyn

Dirt Nap

I passed this poor little raccoon this morning on my way out of the neighborhood and debated whether to take a shot or not. After several hours out it was still there on my way back into the neighborhood. I still passed on it. When I had to go out one more time and it was still there I decided I need to go ahead and take the shot.
Sad so sad.... Poor guy

Dirt Nap is right. Poor guy. Katy I think this is my first comment on a dead animal.......

@lesip I know! It always hurts my heart to see wild animals killed on our roads.

@cdonohoue I felt so sorry for him. Should I say I am sorry to make you comment?

Such a shame when this happens, but that's life in the wild.

@grammyn I have a bit of a, phobia is not the right word, but I hate seeing dead animals in the road because my mind immediately jumps to my dogs.........probably a hold over from my childhood. And I also pray at every roadside cross I see........silly old lady.

@cdonohoue Not silly at all! I felt really bad for the raccoon or any animal I see dead in the road and if you want silly I always wonder what their family says when they don't show up at the end of the day!

ooops..... a nasty end but at least he made it to 365.............and as to the above...that is an interesting thought (maybe I should re read Peter Rabbit!!)

@ruthmouch I am sure 365 was NOT on his list of top ten accomplishments! ;~}

Never heard Dirt Nap. Funny name. Poor little guy. I have posted a dead bird. The other day, I saw a turkey buzzard snacking on a dead deer off the side of the road. I thought about taking a pic. But was ready to get home and kept driving.

@espyetta I am not sure of the origin of the phrase. It is a debate whether it is in poor taste or not for me! Since it wasn't gory I decided it would be all right! I know that feeling about just wanting to get home and passing up a shot.
