drag a salted kiss from this cup of bliss
I watched a heartwarming piece on CBC this morning. It was about a couple living in the Eastern Townships in Quebec who found a baby deer on their doorstep one morning, and proceeded to raise it for a couple years. They made every effort to keep him as "wild" as possible; although they let him come into their house (since they had to feed him with a bottle initially), "Hoppy" was mostly encouraged to stay outside as much as possible.
What a great, great thing to have captured on video - images of their "pet" sleeping on a warm bed in the winter months, playing with him in the snow, fitting him with an orange vest in hunting season so he didn't get shot (it worked), and even the deer snuggling up to their other adopted pet, a cat, and the two of them grooming each other (serious cuteness). If you get a chance to see it, tune in to The Lens on CBC for the piece called "Hoppy". Suitable for children, even..! | ¶ 2:20 p.m.
