6 Sandra 11.16.06 at 4:42 pm

So sweet!! I took care of a fawn that had been injured. Her name was Jane Doe. They are VERY affectionate and LOVE to cuddle and be petted. They even wag their white widdle tails when they see you!

7 Diana 11.16.06 at 4:44 pm

10 lauowolf 11.16.06 at 4:55 pm

Either seriously tiny fawn, or seriously gigantoid clover.

11 Sarah 11.16.06 at 5:03 pm

Awwwwww the knock knees! Adorabubbles!

12 EliottM 11.16.06 at 5:09 pm

“If you squint, this fawn disappears”

But…but…I don’t WANT her to disappear.

13 TheLoveofIsis 11.16.06 at 5:15 pm

I want to cuddle wif dis one.

14 A thinker 11.16.06 at 5:23 pm

Whoa. This baby’s legs are stheriously too long for it.

15 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 5:27 pm

I’m told there is a fawn
It’s tiny legs upon
A clover-studded lawn
I hope it isn’t gone?

16 awwwwww 11.16.06 at 5:31 pm

OMG SOOOO CUTTTEEE!!!

oh, and Aubrey, give up the poetry career. Not working out.

17 The Guy Over There 11.16.06 at 5:37 pm

Oh deer, something to fawn over.

I’ve been here too long. The dreaded puns will run me over.

…Doe!

18 anon 11.16.06 at 5:47 pm

that’s fawn-tastic

19 bats 11.16.06 at 6:01 pm

I copied this and messed around with it on Photoshop, using random blobs of the surrounding green grass over the brown fur of the fawn. Pretty keen to see the fawn disappear except for the clover-spots and the cute.

20 J. Bo 11.16.06 at 6:03 pm

Spotty beebee! I want leetle deerse kissies!

21 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 6:09 pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, cut me some slack. I just got to work, I’m without coffee and without puddin. No need for you to start throwing fawn darts at me.

22 Renee 11.16.06 at 6:18 pm

awwwwww!!! I wuv it!! Widdle behbee deer!!!!

23 Redzilla 11.16.06 at 6:22 pm

No need to be de-fawnsive, Aubrey. Here have a Spotted Dick. Pudding, that is.

24 Jessica 11.16.06 at 6:23 pm

I think I’ve died and gone to Heaven!!! ^__^

25 Redzilla 11.16.06 at 6:27 pm

Oh, and this is a very rare occasion, when Meg’s caption disturbs more than it amuses. Wonder if I’m the only one who can imagine the serial killer in the cell next to Hannibal Lecter, saying, “I can smell your cute.”

26 jaypo 11.16.06 at 6:31 pm

RedZ, yeachh–yr scarin’ me, girl…

[beeps fawn on the nosicle and smooches her hayd]

27 Theo 11.16.06 at 6:33 pm

RedZ — no worries. Remember what happened to *him*.
Dr. Lecter finds Nuffs distatesful, Clarice.

28 Arvay 11.16.06 at 6:36 pm

Aww! I’m very fawnd of him.

29 pyrit 11.16.06 at 6:47 pm

I have a soft spot for this fawn.

30 NebraskaErin 11.16.06 at 6:49 pm

I can smell it! I can smell the cute!

It smells like the zoo.

31 pyrit 11.16.06 at 6:50 pm

32 pyrit 11.16.06 at 6:56 pm

Theo – Oh deer, you can only use the name Clarice *here* in reference to Rudolph’s girlfriend.

33 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 11.16.06 at 6:56 pm

34 Arvay 11.16.06 at 6:56 pm

35 pyrit 11.16.06 at 6:57 pm

Redzilla – Ew, that’s not fawny. ;-)

36 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 6:59 pm

Such a wee Bambi-no!

37 Redzilla 11.16.06 at 7:25 pm

Bambi-YES!

38 Jackie from Michigan 11.16.06 at 7:25 pm

How ironic that CO put up a picture of a fawn just one day after firearm deer hunting season started here in Michigan…at least this little cutie isn’t hanging off of a buck pole or laying the back of someone’s truck with a tag on its antlers!

Thank you, CO, for letting me see the deer for the deer.

39 pyrit 11.16.06 at 7:26 pm

Aubrey – Good one. Yay, you fawnd your groove.

40 Aubrey 11.16.06 at 7:30 pm

Thanks! Pyrit, you buck me up no end.

41 Clay Dowling 11.16.06 at 9:09 pm

Yeah, the timing on the picture was ironic. I too am from Michigan, and my route to work involves a 40 mile drive down country roads.

Hard not to see this little guy as future venison. He’s cute, and when he grows up he’ll be a beautiful animal. Hopefully with a healthy fear of tyvec tags and the front end of my car.

42 Lauri 11.16.06 at 9:15 pm

Pay no attention, Aubrey. I thought it was a doeling little poem!

And, your career as a poet is safe forever. Keep whitetailing away at it!

43 Theo 11.16.06 at 9:19 pm

Nice, Lauri. Ten-pointer.

Too presh, sweet little woodland wonder – but here’s your Fact of the Day: infant fawns HAVE no smell; predators cannot smell their little bodies. (Not sure about the Cute, though…..)

56 Subhangi 11.23.06 at 2:13 pm
