today was a typical day....graduation here so i had to run a couple of gifts out to banner elk then headed to tn for a 1 oclock appt......

i round a curve cars are going slow all over the road...i cuss florida drivers when i see a fawn laying in the road..now i cuss the fates that are gonna break my heart with this dying fawn...i call 911 and tell them we need an officer...the fawn is hurt and dying....wait...its not dying..an older gentleman got it out of the road and was gonna just lay it on the side of the road....his wife had different ideas and lo and behold i end up with the fawn and the wife in my car....i figured we needed to keep the fawn warm so i wrapped it in my hoodie and turned up the heat....

the 911 operator had called a rehab place ..they will take the fawn if i can get it there....so i head toward the rehab center that has already called in the deer rehab specialist....



she was so quiet in my lap i thought she was dying but seems fawns get quiet when they are stressed and scared

and yes i looked for the doe....she was nowhere to be found....heard no calls anything.....




i hope she is okay.....we did all we could do.....up to the rehab people now
