Saved a deer tonight



Actually, it was the Linghocken Fire Co.!

My sister came to the house tonight and says, "Theres a small deer stuck in a wrought iron fence up the road." So, a call to the Police Dept., and 2 hrs. later, a young deer is given a second chance.

There were two Officers, the Sergeant, and a HUGE fire truck on the scene. The first Officer to arrive and I tried unsuccessfully to get her free. Talk about strength...damn deer are STRONG! It took the "jaws of life" to pry the bars apart. Once free, the poor thing just sat there...I think she was in shock. But then she got up and took off into the woods.

I felt funny having 3 cops and a fire dept. involved, but none of them wanted to see the deer suffer or be put down.

I'll be writing a few letters tomorrow...they deserve to be recognized for being such cool folks.
