My day was quiet until about 9:30ish this morning. That is when R. called and told me that Durl had been hit by a car. Mrs. B. has two boxers and if she were to pass away today, Durl would be my dog.
Durl was hit by what we think was probably a hybrid SUV. Her attention was attracted by something across the road, and she darted in front of the SUV. R. said that the SUV didn’t make any noise until he heard it braking to avoid Durl. He heard the thump and that was when he knew Durl had been hit. She walked aways with a few contusions and luckily no broken bones.

Such a pitiful puppy (post consumption of some cottage cheese):
Arty, R. and Durl toward the end of our afternoon together.
Most of this afternoon was spent making sure that Durl was calm. It was a combination of petting and cuddling the dog.
But in between, I got the opportunity to photograph R.’s Grandmother’s Irises:

Poor dog! I don’t know how people can NOT stop…..Also, I really love your flowers pictures. What camera are you using?
Christie It all depends on the speed she was going and Durl did dart out in front of the car. Durl should have been on a leash.
The lady did stop after she hit Durl. R. said she was more shaken up than the dog. Although the dog has been sticking pretty close to his side today.
I have a Nikon D80. These pictures were taken with the 60MM/F2.8 Macro Lens for Nikkor and then post processed in Lightroom.
Oh no! Glad it was only a few scrapes and nothing worse.
