Ahhhh! Nothing like a nap in the shade. - Her spotted coat faded and was replaced by winter fur. With spring on the way, this winter coat is now beginning to shed and is replaced by a thinner summer coat.

Ahhhh! Nothing like a nap in the shade. - But now Pebbles has a little friend. Though Pebbles is now a year old, she did not have a fawn this season. This little fawn is another orphan that is in our care. Though Pebble's won't let it nurse, she does let him hang out with her.

Sometimes Being a mother isn't great. - Now 2 years old, Pebbles has her first baby and brings her home for us to see two week after it's born. Meet Boo Boo. Pebbles is a very good mother. Though she still stays close and loves her people attention, her fawn keeps a safe distance from people.

Here's a rasberry for you! - This season, Pebbles has twins. This is the little buck and the other is a doe. They have distinctive color markings around their eyes and it looks almost like eye makeup.

Gone, but never forgotten! - Never quite sure if she was a deer or a dog, Pebbles won the hearts of the whole neighborhood and even strangers who visited. Her daily visits kept everyone filled with joy and the pleasure of experiencing nature at it's best. It's with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I must now say that Pebbles is no longer with us. We last saw her in late January, 2009. A neighbor believes that she was hit by a truck while crossing a nearby highway. I think she had a happy life and she leaves behind a family of five beautiful children, all of which still visit us daily. Though they will not let us touch them, they keep Pebbles in out memories. No other deer that we have raised before nor since, ever loved people as much as Pebbles. We consider ourselves blessed to have had such an experience.
