I think he wants you to sue the dogowner. His homeowners insurance will surely cover it.

Roger That.........
10-4
Already got with the dog owners' insurance company this morning. So far no resistance from them. If I get any I'll just claim it on my insurance under comprehensive and let State Farm sue his insurance company.
I've got witnesses that saw everything, and so far the owner has been courteous and seems to be willing to make things right. I hope it stays that way. I had a buddy that got shafted when he nailed a dog in his wifes car. He talked to the owners after the accident, they told him to get an estimate on the damage. He did, then when he took it to them they acted like they didn't know WTF he was talking about and called him a liar. Ended up being a big mess, but in the end he got the car repaired. Still he had pleny of headaches outta the deal. I want to avoid the headaches if at all possible. I'd hate to beat the fuck outta the dog owner.  Especially considering the fact that he's an older fella. He might be a permit holder, I may need to bring one o' my........"Heaters". Nah,.....that won't be necessary. It's just a little plastic, still glad we didn't crash.

Yeah...
You're right swft. I am going to talk to my attorney when I get back from the mountains next week. He'll advise me on what I need to do. I'm thinking that if I go to court and plead guilty I should be offered "Driving School" which will keep the ticket off my record. That's usually standard proceedure here in Tennessee if you haven't received a ticket before in that county or city. Thankfully this is one of the few countys in Tennessee that I haven't gotten a traffic violation before. I just got a letter from the state, right after I came home from DG5, that notified me that I am 6 points away from possibly having my license suspended.  If the ticket I got yesterday goes on my record it'll put me 4 away from getting my "Walking" papers. Fucking bummer for sure. I'm more worried about insurance cost than anything at this time.

OMG!!!!
Otis,
I thought about all the crazy shit we did on the trip after I read that letter. I figured that if I'd got nailed for 1/1000th of the crap I did that week it'd 2023 before I'd get my license back, much less afford insurance!!!!!! 
I-40 was just one example of MANY!!!!!
