    I don't know how long this has been circulating but this is the first I've seen it. Just got it in an email. Cute little fella!


    This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital after his mother was killed by a car. Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adult’s hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to save his mother.
    At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire.

    He has only recently opened his eyes.

    Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: ‘Rupert’s mother had very severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing and then he went into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube.
    Staff are optimistic Rupert, now five days old, will make a full recovery.
    ‘Deer are very, very tricky but this one has spirit. He’s an extremely feisty
    little guy and quite pushy,’ Mr Stocker said.

    Asleep: Rupert takes 40 winks

    That is awsome. Think he can be trained now to flush and fletch birds? I want to get a puppy but I will take one of them instead!

    I want to beat you at a 3d shoot. Oh wait, already did that.

    How about beat you at a bowfishing tourney? Oops, did that too.

    Shoot a deer before you.. ah yeah, got ya there too.

    Bwahahahaha. A cookie will do. ;)
