Possibly a Hit and Run Murder.

Last night (Saturday) between 7pm and 7:30pm our dear little Max decided to try and cross the road out the front of our house. Unfortunately the driver of a car failed to see or slow down at the same time. It's highly possible that the driver was speeding as many cars do along our street.

It was a little after 7:30 that I went outside to call Max in only to discover his body lying on the nature strip, someone had placed his body there after moving it from the road. I don't know if it was the person who was driving the car that hit him or someone else came along later.

It was a terrible discovery, but by the looks of things the death would have been instant, so there would be little pain and suffering following the contact.

It's been extremely hard to come to terms with as he was a very much loved part of our home and loved us equally as much. we keep thinking back to what would less than an hour prior to the incident when we went to let him in, but at the time he didn't come. Had he come inside at that time, then he would still be alive with us today.

But now we have to try and move on with our lives knowing that we will never be able to feel his warmth and hear him. We do believe that he is now in heaven watching us and having much fun with the other little ones up there.

This all came just a couple of days after our other little one was injured after was probably a close call with another car. We really need to get out of this place now and will be moving this week and to a street that doesn't have so much traffic.

Egg Shells

Well the other day I got up to goto work and when I got out to my car I found that someone had broken an egg on the driver's side of my car. They probably threw it as they went past, but not really sure. We think that it might have been the neighbours from across the road as the house they lived in got sold, and so they were moving out. Of course we can't prove who did it and I guess it doesn't matter who was responsible for the act of vandalism.

The night before I watched the show called "American Dad", which isn't the best show. In fact its pretty much a copy of "Family Guy" which is by the same makers. The episode involved the Dad of the show having issues with his neighbours saying bad things about him, and so he used his work to have them all moved out so he had no neighbours to complain about. I was thinking that sometimes I wish that we could have the neighbours moved out, but know it would be a selfish act, just because they do things that annoy or interfere with our lives. We share a common wall of the house with one neighbour and they at times are loud and obnoxious especially if they are partying and/or drinking.

It seems that no matter where you go and live, we are surrounded by bogans. I'd like to live in a house where the nearest neighbour is half a kilometre away. A house much like the one on Forest Gump that Forest lived in. It was on a large property. There would be problems with a that type of house, and that would be living out of town.
