I cried reading this! I want to be your friend in real life. I'm sure the baby found its mom. I bet the mom was watching from close by and was so happy that you were a kind human. And seriously... my community has a FB page that gets posts like yours all the time... I love communities like ours... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155574 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:36:51 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I would have had an emotional meltdown. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155448 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:05:38 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1155448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw...!

I'm sure he/she ran off and is doing okay.</p> <p>@turtledoves that is a horrible story! I would cry hysterically. But you couldn't have done anything differently. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155237 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:13:55 +0000 littlek 1155237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Seriously, I've been crying off and on all morning. I lost it when I told DH the story. He thinks I'm a hormonal mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155234 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:12:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1155234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so glad you are ok!! I was also so glad the baby and momma are doing well :heart: </p> <p>I hit a deer before and it was so bad that the police officer &amp; animal control lady had to shoot it with a little tranquilizer thing and kill it immediately :( IN FRONT OF ME. Well, I didn't look but my mom and I saw his little gun in the officer's hand and the lady told us he went over there to "take it out of its misery".<br /> Needless to say, I felt like SHIT. It was night time and snowy, and the deer just ran right out in front of me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155070 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:37:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: Deer are definitely smart. The baby will probably be okay. I'm sure she will probably find and reunite with her mommy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155060 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:36:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will add this to brighten it up! The babies will most often follow the lead of their mom. So they run when she runs. DH has been tracking a mom and baby that keep coming to his hunting spot and always spot him and run, scaring off all other deer. The two are always together and have made it this far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155052 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:34:05 +0000 littlek 1155052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: There are lots of deers in our area (so hopefully) she will be okay. She was definitely an older baby, so hopefully she knows how to find food, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155037 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:30:40 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Yeah I know. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155033 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:30:11 +0000 Smurfette 1155033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155024 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:28:38 +0000 artsyfartsy 1155024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Glad he got up. The baby will probably recover. I wish I could pet it!!!</p> <p>Unfortunately I gotta busy everyone's bubbles. The mom was most likely not waiting for it. Deer have a very strong sense to preserve their own lives. They will easily leave their young behind if they are in danger. </p> <p>My husband deer hunts and he says he's seen a mom run off and leave her baby many times if she senses danger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1155021 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:27:39 +0000 Alivoo01 1155021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw!!!

She even let me pet her head. She was so sweet. I was considering making her our new pet.

I'm jealous... I always want to pet the babies that I see in my backyard </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154942 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:07:07 +0000 littlek 1154942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I couldn't leave the baby. I was surprised how many drove slowly, stared and did nothing. Thank goodness for the sweet lady who did stop to help me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154939 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:05:47 +0000 Smurfette 1154939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>and good for you for staying and helping the way you did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154937 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:05:23 +0000 Smurfette 1154937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet his/her Mommy was waiting in the bushes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154935 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:05:19 +0000 Adira 1154935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh wow!!! I hope she found her mom too! But I agree with @IRunForFun: that the mom probably didn't go very far and they were reunited shortly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154928 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:03:36 +0000 IRunForFun 1154928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww. I bet the mom was waiting in the trees/bushes! I doubt she would have gone far from her baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154925 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:03:04 +0000 littlek 1154925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: Me too.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154919 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 11:01:11 +0000 pui 1154919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope the baby found his/her way home!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/omg-my-morning-potential-sadness-that-has-happy-ending#post-1154902 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:53:42 +0000 littlek 1154902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was driving LO to daycare this morning and a momma deer and baby deer run right in front of my car. I slammed on the brakes as hard as I could and clipped the baby deer. The momma deer kept running across the street and the baby deer lied down. He looked at the car and put his head down. I thought at that moment I killed him. I got out of the car and ran over, the baby was still breathing and there was no blood or anything. My car was absolutely fine. I didn't want to just leave the baby in the street. So I stayed with it, petting it and I mouthed at a car passing by "help." She pulls over, gets out of her car, came over and we called animal control. While trying to call animal control, the baby stands up. I jump into the middle of the road (it's 2 lanes) and stop traffic as the baby deer runs across and into some trees. The lady who was with me and I just look at each other in shock. He ran across the street with no issue. The only thing I'm concerned is him finding his mommy and any possible injuries. I posted on our local FB page that if anyone sees this baby deer and he appears injured to call animal control. I got a comment an hour later that someone had seen my baby deer and he/she was running fine. Fingers crossed he/she found his/her mommy. </p>
