Thanks for your prayers and wishes.
Donna is home and havin the time of her life givin me a hard time. lol. Spose after 30 plus yrs of me givin her grief Im due for a bit of payback. Tryin to keep her off the leg is a full time job. She is a very independent lady and hates not bein able to do things for herself.
Altho she is happy to let me get in touch with my feminine side when it comes to housework. lol.
Jena was touch and go for a while but she has improved greatly in the last 48 hrs. Still amazes me how tough dogs can be. 4 days after receiving 6 fractured ribs she is up and walking. Dont think I could do that. Anyway all her signs are good for a recovery. Jena is a jack russell x, full of personality and attitude. We are praying we get the same dog back but its wait an see for now. I was raised on a wheat farm so Im more into working dogs but this little girl has gotten to me. I never thought Id be this cut up over a dog but yeah, Im hurtin too. Maybe its because I hate seeing Donna so torn.
As for the driver. Seems hes one of these new breed kids that think the world owes them. All hes worried about is his car. After hearing this and seeing the evidence the next day I have lost all sympathy and respect for him. He was driving a 50th anniversary Ford Falcon, bout 60K worth of car. I cant understand why if these people love their cars so much they treat them like paddock bashers. Personally I prefer to keep my rubber on the rim. My daughter's partner is a bit a rev head too but he and his mates go to the track on open days when they want to try out their toys. Also there are pro drivers there that pass on tips. As you can see in the photo, his drive line through the roundabout was completely wrong to be doing what he did, he powered way too soon and the scary part is he didn't back off. He hit Donna at full noise, snapped off a tree at the base and destroyed a fence. And he "loves" his car.
Anyway, here in Oz we have "HOON" laws in place to combat these idiots. The police are going full on to charge him under these laws, not just traffic laws. If they succeed he will lose his licence for a very long time and his car will be destroyed. As I said earlier, the consequences of stupid can be devastating.
Grump, I love that line, "if you think your good prove it on the track". Mind if I use it? Actually I dont care if you mind or not, Im gonna use it anyway. lol. As for the groaner jokes, I just tell her they are yours..lol. She may not be as nimble on her feet as she used to be but her thowin arm is still good and her aim is spot on. She can throw a skillet like a frisbee..
If what wrote earlier can save just 1 family from this grief then mate go for it. Show as many as you like. Stick it on facebook or twitter or what ever. Put it in the local paper. Believe me, words cant describe what I and our daughter and friends went through last Sunday waiting to find out if Donna had injuries we couldn't see.
I love a hot car and a big engine, I love to drive fast, drift, but I do it when and where I cant hurt anyone, An open paddock or on a track, but when stupid people are in control of a powerful engine on a public street it becomes a deadly weapon.
Accidents happen, if he blew a tyre and lost control or if he was avoiding a child that had run out in front of him I could understand and live with it but this is not the case. This is just plain stupidity that shouldn't have happened. I'm sorry for ranting again but I'm a professional driver and I love driving and it really gets to me when I see these idiots out on the road.,
Ok, rant over, lets get back to fun stuff, hot cars and pretty ladies.
