An Endearing Tale of a Pet
We have four lake rental properties, two with VRBO and have I got a pet story that has to top all pet stories. Last week we hosted a family reunion here at the lake. All of our cabins were rented to the same group. We have one cabin that is designated as the only "pet friendly" cabin. After arrival and check-in when everyone was settled, the guest in the "pet friendly" cabin came up to me and said that they had brought their dog and would I like to see it. Being nice and a dog lover I said sure I'd like to see it. She took me to her cabin, opened the door and to my amazement, there in front of me stood a fawn white-tailed deer. The deer was obviously only a couple of weeks old. She explained that a week before her teenage son came upon a doe that had been hit by a car laying alongside the road. The fawn was curled up next to it and wouldn't leave. He called his mom and she told him to bring it back to their farm where they bottle fed it every 2 hours. They had this reunion planned and didn't know what to do so they brought the deer. The fawn was so cute. It jumped and played around the cabin and slept with their son. It even licked my face when I held it. They would take it outside to do it's business. The cabin was really clean when they left and there were no spots on the floor. I told them they would probably not believe me that this was the first time we had a deer stay with us. Their plan was to keep it till it is weaned and then find a home in a preserve. That would be a neat end to this story.
