Dr. Mike Doolittle

Don't think his only talent is wooing and gathering the fowl of the earth. Even the swift melt in his arms.

Our neighbor came over at 11:30pm and told us she could hear an animal screaming in her backyard. Mike suited up and headed over to rescue the week old baby deer from where it had fallen into her basement window well.

The poor thing was so timid and weak. The boys felt pretty special to be able to touch such a young wild animal.

The other baby deer also in our neighbor's yard.

I was worried about the whole touching/rejection thing. You will be happy to know that the baby was still accepted by her mother and is doing quite well roaming the neighborhood and eating all our plants.
