Hey Susan,
How about an update on this fawn. How is she doing?
I just wanted to tell you that Patch was sold last week. He is now in Oklahoma. We will be breeding with a pure white yearling buck from RCM Noble and a pied yearling that is from Patch. Interested in any fawns next spring?
God Bless

Hi Jack-
I should have updated here...mentioned something about it on another post, but didn't get into details much. She died last Tuesday morning....I've been real sad about it and haven't talked about it much because she was my very favorite.
I waited/anticipated for her for 2 years out of my first bottle fed Trixie....named her Pixie...watched her being born in the dark with a flashlight.
She had the pellet poop the Thursday before seemed to be getting perkier and then the night before (Monday night)....I knew it deep down...she wasn't acting right again. Walked in Tuesday morning and she was on her side kicking her legs. About broke my heart. Didn't even tell my son until yesterday when he noticed she was gone cuz I knew he would take it really bad too.
Kind of tearing up writing this...so I'll just say thanks again to everyone for everything. I did the best I could.
In Loving Memory of Pixie!! She was a beautiful fawn!!

I'M SO SORRY!! I almost wish I hadn't asked now. I sit here teary eyed writing back to you. Makes me think of some of the fawns I have lost. I have lost a few of my favorite piebald fawns over the years. Some of them from fantastic bloodlines. My best doe PEGGY, died a about a month ago. She was a brown doe from RCM Apache, but she gave me the best looking piebald fawns every year. They always had the best color and best personality. We still have one of her daughters and 3 of her sons. Peggy was such a good mother that she would always let her fawns wear her down too much. I darted her to give her some vaccinations and vitiamins and she never woke up. She was 8 years old. It always hurts when you lose one. It hurst more when it is your favorite.
GOD BLESS YOU SUSAN !!

Thanks everyone....I feel like I lost a part of my family, stupid as it sounds. But I know all of you know what I mean. Darn deer become a part of your family when you are raising them. But, that means we love what we are doing. If you don't get attached to some of them then you probably don't love what you are doing.
I guess now, it's time to look forward.....hoping I have a little Dixie next year. Pixie and Trixie looked exactly the same. Cutest face you ever seen with those eyes. I'm just hoping that Trixie passes her looks to all her fawns. We'll have a pen of beautiful looking does if that's the case in a few years.

Susan, you are 100% correct - deer ARE part of our families. I can't even imagine my life without my girls - they are such blessings. I pray for them EVERYDAY and I KNOW GOD protects them. There have been a few freaky things that have happened but my girls have always been protected. Your Pixie was so beautiful - that's for sure. I wish you and all of your deer the best. I have said a few prayers for you & will continue to do so.
Jack - your story about Peggy bought tears to my eyes. I can't handle these stories!!! I am so over the top in love with deer (especially mine) that any story like that or Susan's makes me cry. I am sorry for your loss - you will be in my prayers as well
God bless ALL of us and our "deer" families
