Your “Family Adopts Pet That Isn’t Usually A Pet, Thinks It Loves Them” Story Of The Week: Dillie The Deer

by hopperd

Family adopts unwanted baby deer, names it “Dillie,” raises it in their home, deer befriends pet dog, adopts dog’s habits, becomes family’s new beloved house pet? My Human Interest Story-o-meter just frickin’ exploded, sending pieces of levity and shrapnel in all directions. The dude at Home Depot told me putting shrapnel in my Human Interest Story-o-meter was dangerous and unnecessary, but I stupidly ignored him.

I love that the husband explains that Dillie’s favorite food is “ice cream with coffee and a sprinkle of sweetener,” because it’s any food. Then she eats flowers. She is a deer. (Be sure to stay tuned for the reporter’s final pun, which shattered my new Human Interest Story-o-meter that I built after the first one exploded):
