Annie2 arrived next. An elderly woman on her farm kept hearing a baby deer cry, so called Keith. Keith went out and had to climb down an embankment to rescue her. She was not injured but very fearful. She is about 2 weeks old. She's been around for about 4 days now and is accustomed to her surroundings and taken to the bottle! Yay! Yesterday, a lady from Madison county called and asked if Keith and Angela were still rescuing baby deer. Keith went and picked him up and fed him immediately and brought him home This little one is three days old. It's his second day here and he's graduated from taking milk from a kitten bottle to a real baby bottle! Angela says the bottle weighs more than him! Just as Angela and I were writing this blog post, Keith came by to say he'd just received yet another call from a lady who said she's been hearing a deer cry. This deer had been hurt by a dog. So off went Keith to go on yet another rescue mission. It's busy around here!
