Good Day for Michigan

I am not having such a good day, but it is a good day for Michigan.
 The Wolverines won in Bloomington, paving the way for for a
big showdown with Ohio State.



More importantly, the jack-o-lantern is off the deer.



This deer has been making headlines for days.  Everyone has
been worried about it.  Now it will be OK.  We think.

breaks free of plastic jack-o'-lantern

CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Michigan (AP) -- A deer whose head was stuck in a
plastic Halloween jack-o'-lantern for nearly a week has freed itself
and will be fine, animal rescuers said Saturday.



Two children found a dented, hair-lined plastic pumpkin in their yard
Friday night, and other neighbors saw a thin deer running free, The
Grand Rapids Press reported. It was rainy Friday, which rescuers think
helped the young deer wriggle free.



Rescuers had planned to use a dart gun to tranquilize the yearling,
then remove the bucket, meant for collecting candy.



The bucket was stuck on the animal's snout, hanging like a feed bag,
preventing it from eating or drinking. It had appeared to be snagged on
the buck's ears or horn buds.



Dr. Wendy Swift, a veterinarian, said there was some water residue in
the bucket, which probably provided the deer with some water to drink.



"I think this deer will be just fine," Swift said.
