Feisty Repartee

Oy! I'm so glad she's Ok! Very scary!

Wow! Close call and, yes, it could have been tragic. Along with shiner might come a bit of understanding that when mama says, "Don't do X," mama has a good reason for saying it.

Glad it was just a few ouchies.

I hope your little one is okay.

Of note: In many states keeping a deer as a pet is illegal. They don't make good pets and will always be dangerous around children. Besides kicking, they can leave very nasty bites or simply run over and stomp a child or pet to death.

Ask any hunter about what happens to dogs (even very big dogs) that get too close to a deer while the deer is standing in a river.

Oh My! I'm glad Wee One is okay. Be sure to keep an eye out on her for a concussion too.

Now you scared the crap out of me.

OUCH

Imagine explaining that to the grandparents.

Take Care

Poor Wee One! Thank God she is ok. {{{hugs}}}

Subsonic ammo. Since the projectile does not break the sound barrier, it's not very loud. On the order of a paintball gun, as I recall.

Oh wait -- this isn't Kim DuDoit's? Sorry, wrong blog!

Venison... it's what's for dinner.

Glad Wee One's okay. Damn deer.

thank goodness she's alright! hugs all around, except to the deer [i don't want to add a shiner of my own; then you'd have TWO daughters to worry about! ; )]

Oh my goodness...how very frightening! I'm glad your wee one is OK (and hope mommy will recover soon too)!

!!!!!!!!!! absolutely terrifying. I do hope she's alright--you too, Christina!

Oh bless her cottons, I'm glad she is alright!

Glad she's okay.
Sure you can't shoot the deer, but how 'bout a stray arrow...

Sheeeeeesh! I'm really glad that Wee One is okay! Venison in next week's Carnival Of The Recipes?

fyi...carefully-aimed slingshot usage would seem to "teach" the deer the appropriate boundaries without actually killing it. Plus you'd have some measure of satisfaction. Finally it's a game the whole family can enjoy. Nice, eh? Another win-win situation from Diplomat Zonker. (You should see my solution to that mess in the Middle East.)

Well boy howdy. I thought gettin' cleated was bad. Much less getttin cleated by a damned deer!

I'm glad erybody's ok. A lesson was probably learned, like most of us have to learn 'em. The hard way.

I could swear I saw that dear eatin' my soybeans... I shoulda done what I coulda done.

Maybe you ought to get her a Ted Nugent fan club membership... She's shoot first and ask questions later after that I'm sure.

Oh, one more thing, the ladies at work are all crazy about this stuff call "Belvedere". I hear it'll cure what ails ya.(No personal experience though)

.. ouch.. time for some payback, I'd say...

I'm glad your kid is alright. You're nicer then I am, I would have contacted animal control to report the neighbor. In Illinois I believe it is illegal to have a deer as a pet unless you are a wild life refuge. If they wouldn't have done anything. Then I think the deer and my musket would have a close encounter of the shattered skull kind.

But I'm over protective.

Good gawd, what a scare!! Glad everything is okay, those little hoofs can be like razors!

Such profanity! Tsk tsk.

Give her a kiss from weird ol' aunt sadie;-)

I like Zonkers slingshot idea. I'm glad she is okay.

Seriously consider calling the appropriate govt agency to remove the animal. Your daughter is lucky to have got off with a shiner. The next child in the nieghborhood might not be so lucky.

Don't forget to check for ticks. Can you say Lyme Disease?

A deer from the wild is likely to harbor some sort of disease or another you might not want to catch, so wear gloves and wash up when you clean the carcass after whatever accident befalls Bambi. Proper processing of the animal products is important once you completed butchering the beast.

I recommend a quick club to the head since the thing is "tame" and then slit its throat. This should provide adequate entertainment to the participants who desire "revenge."

If done at night, you should have sufficient cover to complete the deed in a stealthy manner. A Voodoo ceremony is optional to place a hex on the neighbors, but highly recommended. If you know any reanimators, you could even invoke a zombie using the animal's blood to annoy the neighbors for a while.

However, kids should also be counselled that their mis-step in allowing the animal access to harm them now has an adverse effect upon the animal as well. When a kid teases a dog or handles it wrong, the dog bites (something that can happen to even the most well-trained or well mannered canine), and then the dog has to be put down, its a sad day that could have been avoided if the human involved had been more responsible. They need to realize that if something happens to Bambi now, they shoulder a part of the responsibility. And use the lesson when interacting with other animals that are not already socialized with them.

Now I have to find that lunch box for the little cutie. So glad she is alright. Shoot the deer, screw out-of-season, call it retribution.

{{Hugs}} glad to hear she is doing fine.

Beware of Bambi!

Glad Wee One is okay.. hmm now if you were to accidently back into it or something. I can happen.
Love the slingshot idea but I think the voodoo bit is going a bit far. Can't say I like venison much too rich for my liking (maybe it's just me). **Hugs to Wee One** hmm now where did I put my rock salt shotgun carts...

Oh goodness me. I'm so glad it was only ouchies. Good to hear she is ok.

asdkljgnfalksdjgn! you can't have a pet deer! what a crazy thing to even attempt!

so glad the little one is ok though!

Wow, I'm behind on my reading. I'm so glad that Wee One is no worse for wear. I hope she heals quickly!!
