I took the horses out to their pasture one morning recently and noticed a doe at the NE corner of the enclosure effortlessly bound over the 4' fence. Thinking.....I wonder if..... And sure enough I found a tiny fawn tucked into the corner of the fencing. The horses were already out there, so I couldn't just leave it sitting there for hours until they came home, so I made the executive decision to take the little one to the other side of the fence to reunite with momma.
The little one was barely the weight of my largest fatty cat. She bleated her disapproval right away when I picked her up! All legs but not struggling to escape. We made our way back to the gate and then back to nearly the corner of the fence. I released the fawn with all my best wishes for her and her momma. She scampered off and I was hoping she found her way to a reunion. My wishes were granted when in the early morning hours a couple days later I saw a doe with her little fawn relaxing in the water of our creek.
