I think this video may have been posted before, but just in case you missed it.  Big Frank brought it to my attention.  I never get tired of watching good momma Rhea Mae and her eyases.  Enjoy!

Just one today...

Police officer carries dazed deer to safety
A Sheriff's deputy in Michigan, United States, resorts to carrying a confused deer out of the path of traffic after it refused to move from the middle of the road following a near miss with a car.

Deputy Ryan Swartz of the Huron County Sheriff's Office was responding to a car accident on Friday when he discovered the doe deer standing dazed in the road. His attempts to encourage the deer to move were captured on this patrol car camera.

Huron County (MI) Deputy Rescues Scared Deer In The Road By Picking Her Up

“I figured as I walked up to it, it would just run off the road [but] it just stood still. It wasn't moving at all. So I went up and I pet it and I was thinking that would get the deer off the road," deputy said.

Desperate to get the deer out of the path of oncoming traffic, the deputy then picked it up and carried it to the embankment where it recovered its senses and ran off. Despite the successful outcome, Sheriff Kelly Hanson warned that his deputy's actions were "not recommended".

[Cat Cafes in Japan]

         

Cat cafés are huge in Japan right now. As the name suggests, these are coffee shops where cat lovers go to sip overpriced lattes and hang out with an adorable smoosh pile of kitties. In the past five years, exactly 79 such cafés have popped up all over Japan. What’s weird is that the café cats aren’t expensive pedigreed felines like Persians or those other ones with the funny bendy ears, they’re just the everyday mixed breeds you might find in the back lot of your local supermarket, cats who, in the immortal words of Brian Setzer, “slink down the alley, looking for a fight/Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night.�
