Baby Deer

Baby Deer, originally uploaded by Sweet Dreams & Flying Machines.

The nieghbor has inadvertantly created a petting zoo. Originally he got a goat to help maintain the yard by eating the vegitation growing near a stream that runs through it. When a roving pitt bull dog killed his goat John was angry and determined. He not only got another goat, he got a Great Pyrenees puppy to protect the goat. The dog is named Tinker, the goat Belle. He built a pen for the two and they got along famously.
The deer came along after he was rescued by John's son who was working a County road maintenance crew. They were mowing the right of way and happened upon the doe, dead, aparently having injured herself on a barbed wire fence. The fawn was with her, terrified and all alone. Meet his friends in the next two photos!
