This was an email forward.

I took the names out for privacy. I had to post, too sweet!

Copy and edited:

A lady found the fawn under her step (they think the doe might have been hit by a car)... her Ridge Back dog is helping look after it. The family named the fawn Bella. Once she has regained her strength (she was not in good shape when the family found her) they are going to send her to some friends who (in the past) raised two orphan deer and released them to the wild. Right now she is being bottle fed. Their dog (Hogan) has basically taken over. The fawn even shares his bed.

I'd guess you saw a late '04 summer fawn.....Unless everything's gone wacky this year....

Looks like the trees have green leaves on them outside the window. Gotta' be from '04.

The fawn I saw was still wearing his/her dots. Just this week, Mr. Okie was witness to a car/deer accident at around 10 am.

Very sweet.

My Golden is very gentle with small animals. He loves cats and tries to befriend squirrels.

Good dog, Hogan!

Fawns are a dime a dozen. I am oohing and ahhing over the Ridgeback. Great dogs. I had 2 of them, Odie and Hazel, I still miss them and they have been gone 15 years.

Tender meat ping :o)

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yah, a big ol' sweetie!

Don't let the local DNR see this (or at least don't tell them the area) or that fawn will be in trouble.

Wow a fawn and dog thread....totally cool!!

[wimpycat]

I got an e-mail sent to me months and months ago, but only of the first picture, not the others. The story THEN was that a family found the fawn on their steps and left it alone for several hours until the mother retrieved it. They believed she put the fawn there because with the flower petals on the steps of the deck it looked like a good place for the fawn to blend in.

But who cares? The pics are awful sweet, no matter what the story behind it.

i sure did ohh and ahh. So sweet.

[annyokie]

Sure there are. Delaware county is a hot-bed of nuke plants. ; )

Calpernia, this old world has enough hurt and evil in it- a kind deed like this helps.

[Osage Orange]

Well.....all righty then!!
