Crochet Me Crazy

I do apologize for my lack of crochet content on my crochet blog, but alas my crochet blog has become so much more for me. I have never been any good at keeping a journal but my blog has become a priceless record for me of what is going on in my life. One day, when I have the funds I will print my blog in a book format. We won't forget all the adventures we had! This little deer is one of them...she has been very time consuming but so very fun! She got up by herself today while we had her in the yard. So she still seems to improve every day but I am a little worried about her because she has started gritting her teeth tonight. That means she's in pain. The owner came home today. He said we can take her to the vet after the weekend. I think she really needs to have that leg treated. It's doing okay but it's a very bad wound and it would really be good for it to be stitched and of course any other advice on how to care for her. We are cleaning and wrapping the wound every day but it still bleeds but it's all the way to the bone.

Ernie had to be rushed to the vet today. Michael found him wallowing around and he had gone after a porcupine! Michael rushed him up to Mr. Grain's house (the owner). Michael went with him to hold Ernie for the 40 mile drive. They had to sedate Ernie while they removed approximately 40 quills from inside his mouth and head. They said he probably would have died if Michael wouldn't have found him.
Here's Ernie (before porcupine attack):
