    the biggest high of my life to the biggest low in less than 12 hours

    bit of good news. bit of bad. start with the good.. did my first ever free-fall skydive today.. apsolutely amazing, words cant describe it so i wont try. but try and imagine this... 12500 feet (2 and a half miles) high then you jump out of a plane. free fall at 120 mph for 40 seconds. when you reach 5000 feet the chute opens and you experience 15 g's of decceleration. then a cheeky 5 minute parachute ride down to the bottom. i would reccomend this to anyone who hasnt done it. the best experience of my life.

    unfortunatly my great day was short lived. 20 minutes ago my mum and i were travelling in the car when we spotted what looked to be a dead deer in the road. she pulled over and i got out to find it was still breathing. one of his hind legs was completely torn off at the knee joint and his lungs was filled with blood and he was coughing it out. he was clearly in a lot of pain. i covered him up with my hoody, tried to comfort him and got in touch with the rspca. where id put my hoody over him passers by thought he was a small child and rang the police. when the police turned up they requested for an armed response unit to come so they could put the poor little bugger out of his missery. i wish i had my fac as i would of popped home to get my gun and i would of put him out of his missery. the police told me i should leave and they'll handle it. after collecting my blood soaked hoody i went home and cried. one of the police officers on scene told me she had seen him there an hour and half ago and didnt stop because she thought he was dead. the poor little bugger had been suffering for ages. im use to death.. especially in animals. ive hunted deer before. but this creature didnt deserve the clear distress he was and had been in for a long time. i know it was probably an accident but i would like whoever hit the deer to tell me to my face why they just drove off and didnt get help. and then i would like five minutes alone in an empty room with said person so i can rip his leg off at the knee joint and leave him for an hour and a half. some people are so selfish. sorry to burden you guys with this essay but i wanted to get it off my chest.

    thats what i call the worst end to the perfect start of a day

    The guy that hit it might of done a lot of damage to his car and just wanted to get it home before the radiator was empty. Deer stray onto roads all the time causing all sorts of accidents. I was on my way to work early one morning, going though Wareham Forrest i found a a motor cycle in the middle of the road, with a dead Sika deer at the side of it. The front forks of the motorbike were bent back touching the frame,and the front wheel had calapsed. It was obvious that the bike had been traveling at speed. On looking futher down the road i saw a leather glove on the bank some 30 or so yds away, in the ditch was the rider he to was dead. I rememer it vividly a very sad day indeed.

    It,s very sad to know the deer died and was in pain for a long time. Tigger was in a similer position on sunday coming home from from doing a medic cover and see,s a dog at the side of the road so she turns round and stops at ths time the person who hit the dog had also stopped along with another car. The dog had been hit head on and went under the car. Tigger gave first aid and checked for injuries her medical knolleged help.
    The dog was in shock and unresponsive for a short while, the police took awhile to arrive but when they did arrive. Tigger asked them to take the dog to the nearest vets because it would die if not. They agreed so she got a blanket to allow a safe lift into police car who used there blue lights to get the dog to the vets.
    The good news is the dog is still in the hospital but doing well and only suffered a broken leg (how lucky)
    The dog had no collar and the chip was not registered, there was someone in a land rover who she was convinced was the dog owner as he watched from the other side of the ra
    The only time you should look down on someone is when your helping them up.

    Shame you didnt have a knife on you. Bleeding him out would not have been a nice experience, but would have been a whole lot quicker than waiting hours for the plod to follow procedure.
