Did you ever have something happen that was simply too cool for words? My wife and I did last week.
We here headed to the western end of the state (KY) to see her mom. It was a pretty day, so we decided to take the backroads for part of the trip. About halfway there, we found a small fawn in the road. Mom had been hit by a car. The little fella was so confused and weak that he let me walk up to him and pick him up without a chase. There he was in hy wife's lap for the next 3 hours; about 8-10 pounds of legs and ribs. During that time, he decided that ear scratches were a good thing. Every time my wife stopped scratching, she got a nudge to remind her to keep scratching.
I called our veterinarian for advice as soon as we got his little butt of the road. Let's just say that a bottle of whole milk, Karo syrup and an egg, much ear scratching, and 3 hours later he was set to go at a rescue facility in Murray, KY. We'll be back to visit him on the next trip down that way.
Now all we have to do is get the smell of dog pee out of the front seats of our BRAND NEW CAR! We had picked it up at the dealer that day and drove it on the trip. When we got out at the rescue facility, Little Miss "How dare you bring another animal into my car and give it all your attention" showed her displeasure by peeing in both of our seats. Oh well, that's why they make upholstery shampoo and Febreeze.
