Close calls X 3

From Huckleberries Wednesday:

So what does a moose, a cat and a mouse have in common? They are three animals that Val Fasthorse almost hit in a 20-minute period from home to the Coeur d’Alene Casino and back again Friday night.

Bullwinkle was up to bat first. Fortunately, the IT director of the Coeur d’Alene Indian Tribe was slowing as she rounded a curve. Mr. Moose was taking his sweet time crossing Highway 95 at the Coeur d’Alene Casino exit. He was in the middle of the road when Val hit her brakes.

Next, came the cat. We’ll call him Felix because he was black with a white face. Val was on her way home when Felix jumped in front of her car. Again, she hit the brakes and just missed it.

Finally, a mouse ran out in front of her, frantically trying to decide which way to run. This time, Val swerved and missed Mickey. A Facebook Friend asked Val why there were no near misses with dogs. Responded Val: “All dogs were practicing safe road crossing and looking both ways.”

Question: When was the last time that you almost hit an animal on a public road?
