Patty, Patty, Patty. I don't know what kind of sympathy you're going to get from Mark since he is well acquainted with the laws of the forest and generally seems want what's best for the animals. I think that the best you can probably hope for is that Bucky gets sent to some sort of nature preserve where he can learn to stop being a pet deer and start being a real deer, unless there's something that you haven't told us yet.

Ah, now I see the real problem. You aren't just keeping the deer in some sort of barn or sheltered area outside, you're keeping him indoors like you would a cat or dog (perhaps you should consider getting one of those. I hear Saint Bernards are nice). You see, Patty, deer were never meant to live in of houses. They just have too many problems navigating doorways with their antlers. Plus, if you let one in, then you have to let the whole herd in as well. Let me tell you this, my dear Patty: deer multiply. The following pictures taken over the space of a few minutes will clearly show why it's a bad idea to continue keeping darling little Bucky indoors.

Okay, not too bad. Seems that the deer has brought along a friend today. Two isn't that much of a...wait a minute. I could be wrong, but I think there's a third one coming up the hill.

Yup, there he is, and you know that you can't just let in the original two without having to let in the third (unless you have no heart and can ignore doe eyes through your window).

Uh oh. Don't look now, but two more have showed up, and those are just the ones we can see. Now it's absolutely clear that there just isn't enough room for everyone inside, and so you see, Patty, you cannot let a single deer into your home because no matter how long you've known the creature, one day it will show up with friends, and by the time you notice them, it will already be too late. (You know, suddenly I'm feeling a little bad for Ken, though I'm sure that that will change.)
