Carrot is still wandering with other deer .
In the meantime, do you remember Frogwinkle (Frog) Carrot's golden retriever friend who lick each other? Well, Frog had some baby frogs so I thought I would share this brief video with you of Frog teaching his little girl, Moonchild, how to play with a ball.
Until Carrot returns, that's the way the magic works. 🧡
Hi sweet orange hearts everywhere. I've been swept up with Frogwinkles babies but yesterday I was lucky enough to find Carrot just when I needed him. That's the way the magic works.
Here he is, for you too. 🧡
Always be love.
Remember when I went looking for Carrot the Carrot the Magic Deer because hunting season was over and, I found him after not seeing him for months - and we had a short visit? Well, I can hardly believe it myself but look who came home today!
That's the way the magic works.
Hunting season is over here. To celebrate, I went looking for Carrot. I luckily found him in someone's yard but didn't want to trespass. Pardon my 'Carrot voice'. He brings out all of the childlike goo in me. He has a limp. I can see an injury on his right knee which is peculiar but he is otherwise well and quite happy to be with his does. So, here's a little pre-holiday cheer from my heart to yours wherever you are.
Be the magic. 🧡
Carrot came a courtin' Froggie again . . . :)
Wherever you are, remember it's okay to be different together.
That's the way the magic works - until all of the world is a love story. 🧡
On a planet full of hard-to-forget pain, it's important to remember the sweetness. Be in a hurry to love . . . be in a hurry to love the world everywhere . . .
like Carrot.
In the comments below, ***I want you to share what peace means to you because that's the way the magic works**** 🧡
Good Monday morning dearhearts wherever you are. 🧡
Sometimes life is hard but every day is a chance for you to surprise yourself with your own superpowers. That's the way the magic works. 🧡
Is there love here on Earth? Carrot knows. He climbed into pen with the rabbits and taught us again. Watch to the end to see them show you that peace is always beautiful.
Hi sweet people everywhere.
Maybe you remember we lost our dog Farley to seizures last year. She and Carrot were unexplainable friends. Anyway, we now have a dog named Frog. (His whole name is Frogwinkle but Frog or Froggie for short). Carrot and he have inexplicably again, formed a beautiful soulship.
Carrot came for a visit yesterday. Here they are. 🧡
Hello orange hearts around the world.
Guess who stopped in?
We always have a choice to bring help or harm. We're at our best when we are kind.
Be the magic wherever you are.🧡
Hello nice people everywhere.
We haven't seen Carrot in well over a month. A couple of days ago a woman texted me that Carrot was far away in her neighbourhood and he had shed one of his antlers. We went looking for him to no avail. I had always pined to have one of his antlers but in the six, sweet years of his life, I have never had the fortune. I reminded my husband that last year at this time, I found Carrot walking with one antler and two days later he came 'home'. So I wished out loud with all of my heart that he might come home again and drop an antler in our yard.
Today, my husband was looking out the window and yelled, "Guess who's here"? I jumped up and looked out the window to see Carrot's darling face looking up at me. I took a quick cell phone picture of him with one antler and then scurried outside to welcome him back. As I came around the corner, Carrot ran about 20 feet and HIS ANTLER FELL OFF!! I couldn't believe my eyes! (I have never seen any deer shed an antler ever. Such an extraordinary and incalculably rare opportunity)! I began to video. I tried my best to be tender while Carrot seemed a little off balance but as you will see, I couldn't contain my maniacal joy and unadulterated mirth that I actually had his antler in my hand; that he actually came back and dropped his gift in my yard! (I didn't know I could make a noise like that. Ha, ha.) You know what they say, if you want a dream to come true, first you have to dream it.
That's the way the magic works.🧡
Hello sweet people everywhere.
Those of you following know that Carrot came home a few days ago after being gone for months. (He's gone again). Oddly, it was the two year mark since he arrived here with an arrow through his head. He is the ONLY deer with yellow tags. My husband wrote a song yesterday so I put it together with a little of Carrot's history.
As the season opens our weary hearts, may you give to others, what Carrot gives to you.
Be the magic.
Hello sweet people around the world.
Carrot came for a visit. I couldn't resist joining him.
We are all just different flowers in the same garden. Be kind . .. .
that's the way the magic works. 🧡
Happy Today good people everywhere.
Do you remember when I was trying to catch a rabbit that someone let go? He was hanging around with Carrot in the yard and it took me weeks to catch him in the -25 temps. At that time I called 'her' Sunflower knowing very little about her. Once I caught HIM he needed a name change. So . . . meet *Puperman*. He's a very warm and friendly part of the family now.
(The other fuzzy one is my husband. I fell in love with him because of his compassion for all beings).
I still haven't heard a single word about Christmas. I hope that changes.
Be the magic. 🧡
This is Carrot and Christmas. 🧡
Wherever you are, remember this . . .
Christmas
Hello good people everywhere.
Here is an older image of Christmas. I haven't any new ones I can share. I am afraid I have heard nothing about her since two days after the surgery. I was told then that it was up to her to heal and that her survival was not a certainty. I do not know her condition. I regrettably do not even know if she is alive.
It has come to my understanding that people think the petitions being circulated were created by me or someone affiliated with me. They were not. No communications were had with me before someone took it upon themselves to begin them. (I am sure it was done with good intentions). The wording of the petitions also doesn’t reflect what would have been my own had I sought to do a petition myself. If you are signing the petitions, I just want you to be aware I am not soliciting signatures. I am sorry if you thought it was me or someone representing me. In the future, please know if I seek aid, I will always humbly do so through my own posts on this page.
Having said that, I absolutely advocate for Christmas to be returned to within a kilometer of her home (if she is okay) as is in keeping with the literature on the release of rehabilitated animals and the following statement by an MNRF rep as he spoke about Christmas, "One of the things that I'm really concerned about is that the bond between does and fawns is very strong. and it's not by chance because a fawn on it's own in Northwestern Ontario is going to suffer significant levels of mortality above what we would expect for a fawn that is accompanied by a doe."
Thank you for being the light of compassion on the path. I'll be back as soon as I am able. Until then . . .
be the magic.
Hello Everyone.
I have a small update for you regarding Christmas.
First, thank you all who donated money. I have never done this before and I will never forget your generosity and caring. It means the world to know Christmas is not alone. The donations have not been touched and will not be touched until the plan has come together. If for some reason my aim fails, all of the donations will be returned with my deepest gratefulness.
I also want to thank those who took the time to share the posts and also those who have given their love so freely to this little deer. Love is the most magical thing of all.
I am sorry I cannot write to each person who is commenting or writing to me. Trying to get Christmas help takes a lot of effort and co-operation. I just don't have the time right now to respond like I want to. (I also work which limits my time). Christmas is primary and I am devoted to using every spare moment I have to advocate for her as I did for Carrot.
I was able to have extensive communications with a representative from the MNRF tonight. (The MNRF is the provincial agency who enforces the Fish and Wildlife Act). The laws in Ontario are prohibitive for just anyone to help wildlife and there are also cross border laws and other legislation complicating getting her care. Even under the best of circumstances, it is going to take days of planning and a lot of luck to make this work. There is no sanctuary here, which means travel for Christmas. It may sound easy but if you all recall from Carrot's travails, deer are not like other wild animals. They suffer from capture myopathy and stress alone can kill them. We have to be very coordinated to ensure Christmas is kept safe. I am not allowed to give, nor do I have access to the medication she needs so we have to depend on those who do. None of this is easy even if it appears it should be. There are many complicating factors.
I am asking you to bear with me as I navigate the obstacles. I will respond and update as
Hello everyone.
Carrot is doing well and we will return to normal viewing soon. For now, meet one of his little ones - Christmas.
I will update soon.
Be the magic.
******UPDATE: PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE DATE THIS WAS POSTED WHILE YOU ARE COMMENTING. THERE ARE NO BIG ANIMAL VETS NOR SANCTUARIES HERE. I FILMED HER TO BRING AWARENESS TO HER SUFFERING IN AN EFFORT TO GET HER HELP. THE LIGHT SHONE ON HER GOT HER THAT HELP. SHE HAD SURGERY IN DECEMBER WHEN A VET WAS FLOWN IN. SHE IS THE ONLY DEER TO HAVE HAD SURGERY DONE HERE BY A VET. THE FIRST ONE. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER, YOU CAN FOLLOW THE PAGE.
Hi loving people around the world.
This morning was the first time I have been able to commune with Carrot since he returned. He left again and went for a nearly 16 mile sojourn (people send me images). So, today I was able to sit with him a while. When deer lick each other, they are bonding. This is his way of keep our connection. I'm not about to lick him back but some forehead scratches suffice.
My heart is full of him. We are just different flowers in the same garden.
Be the magic.🧡
Hello good people everywhere.
I received a message the other day that Carrot was hanging out in someone's yard. She gave me her address so, I went to say hello.
Be the magic. 🧡
