Oh Deer!

I'm at the in-laws house in central Louisiana for the 4th of July weekend. I think I have mentioned that I never know what to expect here. The first time I visited, they were raising squirrels in cages. Then when we went on Thanksgiving last year, it was the racoon in a cage. Later in the Thanksgiving visit, Ruth Buzzi showed up (thankfully not in a cage!)

This visit is no different! This time it is a deer in the house. They have rescued a baby deer. It has got to be the sweetest little animal ever. It came out of the cage to see me immediately and was licking my hand and face. VERY CUTE!!!

Oh and Max was terrified of the deer. Not sure how anyone or anything could be terrified of that sweet!

For anyone reading this who may be in law enforcement, they aren't keeping the baby deer. The poor thing was attacked by a dog and they are just trying to figure out who will take him on Monday.

Ohhhhhh, how sweet! Just yesterday I was out hiking and saw some moms and their fawns. Funny thing is the parents were trying to herd them along but they were scampering everywhere, not listening. Seems this epidemic is the same in the animal kingdom as well!

What a sweet little guy (girl?). I saw many deer out in the sticks over the holiday weekend and one wild turkey - but nothing in the house.

It was the sweetest little guy (you can tell from the two little dark spots where the horns will someday be)

A wild turkey... Maybe that's what I will see next in their house! I suggested that it might be a crocodile but was informed that they had already raised one of those in the house for a while. Figures!

Awww...so cute! I can't believe Max was scared of that. LOL

So how is Max anyway? Better I hope?
