OH DEER!


Can you imagine our surprise when we found a baby fawn trapped in our backyard this afternoon? Our backyard has a six-foot fence and does not even back up to the woods. Linda and Tierney hatched a plan to made a breadcrumb trail to the side gate Linda had opened. All was going well until Peter (that's what Tierney named him) made a run for it and bound over the fence into the next yard, which is also fenced. We were able to get his photo before he made his escape. He kept bounding from yard to yard until he found a yard that was not fenced. We just hope that Peter does not get hit by a car on the main street. Good thing Snickers was not in the back yard or poor Peter might not have been alive to tell the other deer about his adventures.
