A Very Special Play Mate

Our friend, Alice, had a very special play mate at her house this weekend. Her family found a baby deer who had been abandoned by its mother and it stayed at her house this weekend. How cool is that! As you can see from the photos, the baby deer and Alice became fast friends and the deer was super friendly and loved being around the people. They couldn't keep it, though, I guess it's harder for a deer to snuggle up on the sofa than a pup as it grows, so Alice's family contacted Animal Control who put them in touch with a cool sanctuary for deer. The baby deer gets to go live on a farm and learn how to be a deer in the wild and then when they think it's ready, it will be released back in the wild to live on its own. Maybe these fast friends will cross paths again some day!
