This isn't the best picture, but image how stunned we were when we saw little Bambi just chilling on our back stairs. We could walk right up to her and be a foot away with out it moving. Bambi stayed there for at least 5 hours until her mama came to pick her up at 11pm.
We noticed that our entire garden was cleaned out, and thought that she was sick from eating the tomato plant which is toxic. It can causes vomiting and cardiac problems for cats and dogs. After three hours we decide to call the fish and game department to see if they knew what to do. They just asked us if we want them to come over to euthanize the baby deer. I was like, "What?... NO! we are trying to save Bambi." They gave us the number to Natural Wildlife Rescue. We called them around 9:30pm. The call went to the home of a little old lady that explained that mama deer leave the baby deer by themselves while they foliage for food. They usually return around 10:00pm to get their babies. We were to call her back if the mama didn't return, because there is a chance that coyotes could find her. Low and behold Mama deer returned and they lived happily ever after.
