Look What Followed Me Home! Can I Keep Him? Can I???

November 30, 2006 Today we took a walk up to a house we are looking at near the cemetery and Larry spotted a fawn! The baby deer came out from between two houses and just stood there. Larry, too, was frozen on the spot--not wanting to startle the deer. Then I reminded him that he had a camera in his hand.

As he began taking pictures the deer came right up to him and even tried to touch the camera with his nose. As we started walking up the hill, the deer followed us for a little while. When we came back down, we didn't see him again. We thought that maybe he had lost his "mamma" during hunting season and was looking for her.


We did see a woman across the street and she told us that Colombo (from one of the houses whose yard the deer had been standing between) had found this tiny, orphaned baby deer a few months ago and brought him home! Even so, it was an exciting moment!
