Late in the evening a friend knocked on our door with a new born baby deer in her arms, not more than an hour old. She found the mother dead from a car accident, and the baby must have popped out of the mother during the accident. The tiny baby buck laid in his mother’s blood on the side of the road. Our friend Angelea cleaned off most of the blood, and her and her mother Sakkara wrapped up the baby in a towel to bring it over to us. Without a mother, the fawn had little chance for survival, but we were determined to see her through the night until we could contact a local woman who is licensed to raise orphaned deer. UPDATE: Rescued baby deer are released after maturity where they are found, and this little guy actually came from a nearby herd, not ours, so we haven’t seen the guy again. We are comforted to know, however, that deer are amazing in their ability to survive great hardship. Many thanks to Angelea and Sakkara, and to Vesta for her work in helping local wildlife.

Thank you for being so kind to our most defenceless. I don’t know how to thank you enough for understanding the true value of such vulnerable life. We really do need more people like you in this world, who are connected and caring to all of our lifeforms. You are wonderful people. Thank you. Made me cry. :)

hydroxygenman says
What are you smoking? “We decided not to use OUR tongues to stimulate his anus and perineum.” Do you know what kind of visual picture that puts into peoples’ minds?!? My wife would have made me redo the audio track on the video, if I said that… otherwise nice of you to do that, …take care of the little fuzzy one.

Shanti is a cute baby deer. He reminds me a little bit of Bambi. Please don’t forget that the Diamond Edition of Walt Disney’s Bambi is re-released on Tuesday March 1,2011. It comes with 2 Blu-ray disks and 1 digital DVD copy.
