"Brown Eyed Girl !"

Last Update - 12/12/04

When we dream, we dream of a world where humans no longer heartlessly destroy the beauty that Nature creates.
Please, Help us make our dream a reality.

Found a fawn alone in a field or in the woods??
It may not be an orphan. Mother deer will leave their fawns alone during the day while they graze. Unless the fawn is clearly in distress or injured, take time to watch to see if the mother returns before removing the fawn. Very often, humans make this mistake and unknowingly kidnap fawns. Let the mother take care of her fawn, however if the fawn is truly orphaned or injured, then immediately contact the nearest Rehabilitator, Vet, or Dept. of Natural Resources for help.... Do Not Delay.... The longer you wait, the less chance the baby has of surviving... DON'T try to care for baby wild animals, without help.

	Well, it's not Mamma, but it'll do. - Feeding time is always a treat with these little ones. They love their bottle but care must be taken not to over feed. *09 May, 2003*
	Hey! How come you don't have spots? - No more than a couple weeks old and weighing in at a whoppin 5lb., this little one isn't much bigger than Knots, our fat cat. Of course he does weigh 22lbs. *19 May, 2003*

	And I'm supposed to do What? - The first visits to the outdoors stir early memories for the fawns. It doesn't take long for them to start grazing on natural grasses and other vegetation. Vegetation like our flowers. *04 July, 2003*
	More Flowers, That-a way! - No Skittles is not a Pointer, just preparing to move to a greener grazing area. The girls love their time outside. They spend it mixed with grazing and running wildly and kicking up their heels. What a treat to be able to watch them at play. *31 Aug, 2003*

	Peek-a-Boo! - Always alert and ready to run, even these young deer will run at the first sign of danger or a noise that they're not expecting. With their ears working like independent little antennas, they can listen to sounds comming from all direction. *31 Aug, 2003*
	What's this new delicacy? - One reason some homeowners dislike deer is their habit of eating ornamental flowers. Here Pebbles sample one of our camellias. *31 Aug, 2003*

	Oh Yea!!! That's the Spot - As winter begins to fade into spring, Pebbles spend all her time outdoors now. Wally, the cat, is her winter nights sleeping companion and all round buddy.. *01 Mar, 2004*
	Ahhhh! Nothing like a nap in the shade. - Her spotted coat faded and was replaced by winter fur. With spring on the way, this winter coat is now beginning to shed and is replaced by a thinner summer coat. *23 Mar, 2004*
