New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

To make a sad story short. This morning Gilly called me at work and told me that he'd found a deer laying on its side in the back yard next to the fence. It was alive and obviously hurt. We were hoping to be able to save it. Gilly called the township and they were no help.

Thinking that there was an off chance that they deer might be able to get up up later in the day (not knowing how long it had been there in the first place).

When he got home from work it was still there and still alive so he called more people/agencies to no avail. We started to call our friends/family in the neighborhood for suggestions. He also offered the deer water and clipped the fence around it to assure that it wasn't stuck.

I got home at 8:30PM and nothing was resolved.

We ended up calling the police and they sent someone over. When they pulled into the driveway they imediately pulled out. Apparently there was an accident that they needed to attend to.

Not long thereafter two cop cars pulled in. They gave us a speech about normally it's the owners responsiblity to dispose of deer plus they thought that the deer was already dead. Upon inspection they basically told us that they were going to have to "put it down." I made Gilly come in and I ushered the monkeys downstairs. The noise of Gilly's boots on the stairs covered the sound of the pop. Apparently the deer has been moved to the side lawn and someone will come get it tomorrow.

And nope this isn't an April Fools joke.
