She may have been hit by a car..

She's been around for the last 4-5 years, I have no idea what happened to her leg. They normally don't live long with injuries like this,this one's hanging on

Can you find a rescue group in your area? Just a thought.

When she first showed up my wife called someone, they told her if it doesn't appear sick, or suffering that there's not much they will/can do. Kinda a run around answer. We see this one regularly with a few other's, and with all the feeders on my property she's hanging on. She doesn't run away when she spots us, more inquisitive than scared.

If she doesn't have predators to fend off, outside of loose dogs, she is probably okay for a while.

Surprisingly my dogs pay no attention to the deer, she's been hanging on pretty well. No real predators around, I hear coy dogs from the farm down the road occasionally, the only thing I've ever seen up here was a fisher. Now those things are mean.

Emmett got to meet his first deer this evening........ He smelled it long before he saw it! He knew it wasn't a dog right off.... Just kinda wagged at it, but was still being cautious. 

He's a really good dog........

Yesterday I thought if I doused this pot with water, the last sprig of the flowering plant might stay alive. No dice, too hot. Today, the cactus wren thanked me for a nice damp bowl of dirt to cool off in. Was around 113°F when I took this pic. Handy birds, native to southern Arizona here, they keep the excess spiders down to a dull roar. Scorpions keep the cricket population in check.

Finally got the deck cleaned up. The Harbor Fright washer worked well.
