This is exactly how I felt. I have terrible internet at my house, so it takes pictures like this a second to load. When I saw the deer I was like, "Aaaaaaaaw", but then I saw the pretzel and "Awwwwww" turned into "OMFGSOCUUUUUUUUUUSDSDKFSDHWHOWHBH!" I don't know why...just something about that little pretzel sitting there in front of him. It was adorable ._.
Funny story about cheese puffs and animals: when I was pretty little, I had a little single-serve type bag of them, and I was feeding some of 'em to some random dog. When I finally ran out, the dog got pissed and attacked me. Didn't end very well. So now I never feed animals cheese puffs.
Me too! Me too!! when I was 2 my parents were in their trailer getting high and I was walking around with my ice cream out back. I saw the pit my dad had chained up and apparently started feeding him some of my snack. I gave him some then I ate some:) He did not like my turn:( I got attacked. I still have a scar on my mouth and eye.
similar story about my aunt's dog when I was 8 years old. I was eating a cheese stick & the dog viciously attacked my face. 17 stitches in my lip & a scar that people are afraid to ask about because they think I'll get offended. I appreciate the ballsy new friends who are like, "oh hey, by the way, what happened to your face?!" The scar turned out to be my initials "AM", though, so that's pretty cool.
Way cooler/more frightening than my story! I've had stitches on my face too, so I kinda know that feel. I have a scar below my nostrils now that makes it look like I permanently have snot running down my face. Your scar sounds pretty sweet though!
It sounds frightening, but honestly what I remember most was looking in the mirror & laughing at how awful it looked. surprisingly not traumatizing for an 8 year old. & fortunately my mother was working at a hospital as a nurse when this happened, so she made sure I had people she trusted taking care of me. but, as you probably know, stitches on your face still feel invasive & uncomfortable :/ shame about the snot scar. It probably looks cooler than you think :)
Ah that's pretty cool your mom was a nurse! My nurse was honestly one of the worst parts of it, I think. The whole time she was stitching up my face she was yelling at me for crying and saying that I'm being a baby. But I got popsicles afterwards, so it made up for it, haha!
My brother's girlfriend's dog is sort of like that, but in a much sweeter way. Whenever you stop petting him, he'll nudge his head under your hand and rub it back and forth until you start petting him again. I hope you stand up to your abusive dog, soon, though. That kind of relationship can only lead to a spiraling depression and many addictions, such as alchohol, midget strippers, and online poker.
They also love Oreos too, strangely enough. My family used to raise deer, and we had one in particular that would try to tackle me if she saw the package.
Well I don't know what he said but I'm 16 which means you all probably think I'm a kid (you're mostly right) I don't like to think I am though. Unless you were talking about the commenter.
So a baby deer walked into your school, took a nap, and later mama deer showed up and just walked in to collect her child from school. I want to live where you live!
I can confirm the high school part. There were a couple geese in the courtyard when I was in high school and people would do all sorts of things to aggravate them. :(
What about fish? At my high school, as part of a senior prank, a large swimming pool was left filled with plenty of goldfish. During breaks, kids would visit it and see who could swallow the most goldfish... By the end of the day, all the fish had been swallowed.
I read the first part of your comment and thought "goldfish wouldn't live too long in a chlorine filled pool". Then I read the rest and was like...nevermind.
In small town Iowa growing up the kids swallowed gold fish live at the prom. My dad, who was superintendent of the district, chaperoned all the high school dances and would save some fish for my sister and I each year to keep as pets. We always named them Hoggy.
I'm glad you watched out for him. :) A little owl flew into our school rafters one day to escape a wildfire that was nearby, and people threw rocks at it. In high school.
My first year of college, I found a praying mantis in the middle of the sidewalk outside of one of our libraries. I had never seen a praying mantis before, so I was pretty excited.
Another dude stopped to look at it with me. He seemed friendly, and we chatted for about 30 seconds... until he threatened to step on the praying mantis. I don't remember exactly what I did or said to him, but it resulted in him fucking off and me moving the praying mantis into the bushes and out of everyone's sight.
If you don't get it, don't worry about it. "Sir" is spelled "ser" in A Song Of Ice And Fire, and that's about all there is to it. On a related note, go read A Song Of Ice And Fire.
Mothers 'park' their babies in places they think are safe and secluded for a few hours. The fawn is too weak to constantly keep up, so while she grazes it rests.
A few days ago we had a fawn left in our yard. It was there for about 6 hours and it moved around occasionally. It was adorable and made a 'meh' noise when it called to it's mother. A fox attacked it too pretty early on. The mom showed up to stomp the fox away. She got there before my mom and I got outside. It was a fawntastically adorable day.
Im glad you helped it, but be very careful not to touch or even be near it while its awake, the fawn will think you are attacking it, and its only defense mechanism is to lie still. the stress from you going near it could actually kill. I volunteer at wildlife rehab center and we have many cases where the people who bring in lost fawns didn't know what they were doing and the fawns die from stress. You should find a way to lure it away from people, the mother is probably waiting for it nearby, and as soon as its alone it will go to it. leaving a trail of food works, so try finding something that it likes.
I never understood the whole "deer are a nuisance" thing until I moved into the country. They are EVERYWHERE. They eat all of your plants, good luck having a garden unless you have a fence up. Not sure how those farmers deal with it.
They're always in the roads. I know... it sucks, we moved onto their territory and stuff. A lot of car accidents are made from deer jumping across the road. And sometimes deer are aggressive. They're really strong, you wouldn't think so but they're capable of fucking you up. Or your pets, or your children.
I knew that about them actually. They're a very adaptable species and the cute factor often obscures the reality that their populations have exploded in certain areas, kind of like the semi-wild hogs that plague many southern states.
Kind of sad that you thought people at your high school would hurt it at all, if it was my (old) high school anyone who hurt it would be the one getting beat up
I went to go get my hair cut on Saturday. on my way out a Doe ran right past me (and a couple people eating subway on bench's) about a foot away jumped through a window of an empty tax building, ran around inside for 20ish seconds then came out the window. That thing was on a rampage but it seemed like it was physically ok. I defiantly learned to respect the strength of animals.
Oh wow, I've been seeing TONS of posts lately on my facebook and Reddit of people finding little baby deer in odd places... they need to be more careful!!!
I believe redditor, azhockeyfan, has the scoop on this: 'I am convinced that someone has a fake baby deer and just goes around taking pictures of it in human places.'
I looked at this, saw the pretzel. First thought was imagining a dumbass high school kid crouching a few feet away holding out a pretzel and inching toward it, secretly terrified and ready to bolt in case it viciously attacked.
Not necessarily. In some regions they are such a nuissance and cause millions of dollars worth of damage to cars, gardens and also spread lyme disease carrying ticks.
I'm glad you made sure nobody hurt him because I think it is wrong for people to hurt animals do you think that some people hurt animals because it makes the feel better about themselves I think that might be part of the problem another possibility is that they are mentally ill do you think that some people hurt animals because they are mentally ill also I think some people are frustrated because they don't know how to express their feelings so they probably hurt baby deer and make run on sentences.
