Looks smaller than my 6 lb. Maltese. I think they’d have fun :)

5 Chanya 10.02.08 at 7:27 pm

But he does kinda look like he has an extra set of slitty nostrils between his eyes

I’m heart broken. This calls for a memorial.

9 balamuthia 10.02.08 at 7:40 pm

Oh. My. I was sad to read the little dear-deer passed away.

Hopefully he’s nuzzling his mama in deer heaven.

OMG! No!!! Poor lil bebbeh.

At least he knew nothing but kindness in his short time here…

What a shame.

14 Kats 10.02.08 at 7:55 pm

Poor Baby…

I hope he and his mommy are happy together.

RIP

15 Wombats 10.02.08 at 7:57 pm

**CRY*** Such a precious baby.
This makes me sad.

16 Wombats 10.02.08 at 7:59 pm

Sara, you are a twit. Please explain all your perfect physical attributes. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

17 pyrit 10.02.08 at 8:10 pm

Poor little nipper.
The good folks at Tiggy’s don’t have it easy.
There are lots of deer in my yard. I’ll throw extra apples in the woods for them.

18 Jorden 10.02.08 at 8:15 pm

I believe you man to shove the PHERTER in our direction.

19 Jorden 10.02.08 at 8:15 pm

By “man”, of course I mean “mean”.

20 wolfie 10.02.08 at 8:16 pm

Awww…. barrooo! So sad. :-(

Btw, I’m kind of with Sara on the fingernails. I just try to focus on the perfection within the hands.

21 llism 10.02.08 at 8:22 pm

Crap. Poor little dood. Double crap. *wipes tears*

Yeah, I could never work in a place like that. I’d probably be a raging alcoholic just to escape from the pain. My hats off to the people there for doing all they do. . . truly that is god’s work.

22 sairentohiru 10.02.08 at 8:22 pm

As far as the hands go, they may not be worthy of a nail polish ad or anything, but they are beautiful by virtue of the fact that they are tenderly cradling an orphaned baby.

23 Barbara 10.02.08 at 8:27 pm

OH NO.

Yikes that makes me cry and I am at work. But my dog died in August so this makes me sadder than usual, damn.

24 Jorden 10.02.08 at 8:29 pm

Oh dear-I hadn’t read the comments. Very, very sad to hear of the passing of this lovely fellow. Condolences to his caretakers.

25 ceejoe 10.02.08 at 8:35 pm

the peeps that bring up the fingernails… and i mean this in the gentlest way… do you have *any* idea how much work it is to take care of our anipals? I have 13 kittehs and 2 guinea piggehs (and i work full-time too) and so i am *always* cleaning up something. so i wash my hands like a bazillion times a day. and therefore i do not have lovely nails. but the trade-off is *so* worth it. so stop with the nail criticisms… please…

26 eikoleigh 10.02.08 at 8:44 pm

Beautiful little baby. So sad to hear he didn’t make it. :-(

For those needing more exquisitely-precious teeny deerage, you simply must watch “Growing Up Sitka Deer” on Animal Planet.

Sitka deer are the smallest of their species, only 6 inches tall after birth.

This beautiful creature was saved by a wildlife rescue group in Alaska. It shows the angelic deer being bottle-nursed shortly after birth through being a teenager.

This little critter is so tiny, so innocent and so vulnerable; she will grab your heart and never let go.

29 jmuhj 10.02.08 at 9:12 pm

Together forever. No more pain. No more suffering. That’s a GOOD thing.

But we sad to miss them.

*Tears*

31 darkshines 10.02.08 at 9:30 pm

I’m sad he left us, but I am glad he is with his mom on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, chilling with Steve Irwin and Thomas Dörflein, eating lunchables and chasing butterflies.

32 Angela 10.02.08 at 10:06 pm

Does anyone else notice the grotesque hands on that individual??? *shudder*!

33 Jackie 10.02.08 at 10:24 pm

Thanks for pointing that out Angela. My face just went from Awww to Ewwwww in .5 seconds……

34 i_wuvs_puttins 10.02.08 at 10:26 pm

Poor little guy. But look at how much joy he spread just on CO during his short time here…*sniff*

35 Molly 10.02.08 at 10:38 pm

Godspeed, little deer. Your too-short life brought happiness to a lot of people. We’ll miss you.

36 LipGloss666 10.02.08 at 11:00 pm

aww too cute!!!

37 berthaservant 10.02.08 at 11:30 pm

NO! He was gonna save the world!

: sniff :

38 Sunstorm 10.02.08 at 11:34 pm

He’s…dead? Noooooo! Poor little baby. :,(

39 Theo 10.03.08 at 12:42 am

BServ — you think he’s not doing it right now?

40 Darkflame173 10.03.08 at 1:38 am

Oh no! Aww, I’m so sad to hear the wee one has passed on. I know the odds were against the lil guy, but kudos to the lovely folks at St Tiggywinkles for trying so hard. The photos sure brought a lot of joy, and it’s well for Rupert to be remembered.

RIP cutie

41 Theresa 10.03.08 at 1:41 am

Poor little deerling.

42 Andres 10.03.08 at 9:57 am

Madre mia, que uñas mas feas del tipo que sostiene al cervatillo…!!

43 Totalee Puppy 10.04.08 at 5:04 am

darkshines, love the way you describe a better life
for Rupert and his mom and special departed people…
