DEER Friday 07/16/2021

MamaWick — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 21:06:13 GMT

First of all, Cricket is holding her own. Two doses in of Cerenia, ant-nausea med, but not really eating. It's almost as if she is willing herself to go. PapaWick and I are constantly holding her and we are both are telling her it is okay to go. If this med doesn't help by Monday, we will add Entice to try to stimulate her appetite. Thanks so much for your loving thoughts and prayers.

Now, for some Mija.

The deer are so sweet, as usual.

Always thinking of darling little Cricket. She knows how much she is loved. My heart breaks for you. Maybe that new medication will work, even for just a while. Who knows? You are doing exactly what I would do (and what I have done in the past). My blessings to the entire Wick family.

Sweet precious gentle Mija, such a gift to see! The photos of her and the adults are a breath of fresh air, nature's miracle! She is truly a joyous creature and I am glad she has a safe haven at the Wick's.

My heart goes out to you knowing how difficult it is for you and your dear Cricket. Stay strong and know all of us who are visitors on this post care and understand.

@MamaWick The last picture of mama and baby is so cute. I love when the Doe has her mouth slightly open like she wants to talk to you and thank you for your kindness.

Cricket girl you hang in there girl. You have wonderful parents that love you very much. Cricket looks like my Tootsie (my dog from childhood). My father had a milk route and sometimes I would go with him and he took me to a house where their dog had puppies and I picked out Tootsie (she was the smallest). Tootsie lived to 14-1/2 years. The love of my life now is my Tonkinese cat, Ava. She is a blue mink (gray with taupe and aqua color eyes). It's actually Ava MIng (I gave her a middle name). LOL

Those precious pictures-all of them.

I hope this med and the additional one will help. I know our dogs and cats probably do tell us in their own way when they are ready to fly free over that rainbow bridge.

Still it is always so sad because we love them so much and want them here with us. I know @MamaWick,

you and Papa wick will be giving Cricket all the love and gentle comfort she needs. Our hearts are with you all!

@MamaWick

Thank you again for the photos, showing us the beauty of our animal friends.

My heart goes out to you in this difficult end time with Cricket. I remember a vet told us one time that the animal will let you know when its time has come. Just look into her eyes; she will tell you. You will cry buckets of tears, but you will do the right thing by Cricket.

@MamaWick

Good luck thru the weekend with Sweet Cricket's appetite. I know with you as her parents, there will be loads of kisses & hugs with Cricket. A time to reflect, remember all the wonderful times you shared/ still sharing.

Blessings to you all for a calm, peaceful weekend.

Boy, Sweet Mija is just adorable. I'm sure her Mom is so proud & protective of her. One big, loving, deer family that just loves & appreciates Mama, Papa & Cricket Wick.

First of all, want to comment on the darling fawn. So precious and beautiful!

Now to Cricket. My heart is breaking again reading your post. I'm so sad over your precious baby girl. Yes, continue to hold her and love her as much as you can. I know it's not good if she's not eating. All my love, prayers and hugs to darling Cricket.

The deer are enchanting and stunning. @MamaWick I'm sorry to hear about Cricket. I've had several dogs stop eating like that. I'm thinking and praying the best for you all.

These beautiful photos make one think of the Elysian Fields referred to in poetry and literature. Your work takes us to another realm, MamaWick. So refreshing and joy-inducing.

[Only now did I see your news about sweet Cricket. You and PapaWick are the best parents to her. I am moved that you are each holding her and telling her it is okay if she needs to leave. She has such soulful eyes, as has been written, and we have fallen in love with her from afar. I am so sad that she is sick. Please give her an extra hug from me. Thank you.]

@MamaWick Mama and Mija happy together at the Wick's home. Definitely a bit of sunshine and smiles.

Woofs, hugs, kisses, and gentle belly rubs to sweet Cricket. I know that she is in good hands with you and PapaWick. We are joining hands in prayers that she doesn't suffer, and that she regains her appetite. Sending you and PapaWick hugs as well. 💕
