Seven Deer


We were at the lake this week end and, while we were sitting at the table by the living room window having coffee, seven deer loped across our front yard between the house and the lake. They were all female or young bucks: not a horn in sight. Kind of strange for Lake Buckhorn. They were coming from the left and running to the yard on our right and as we continued to count, we got more and more excited. We often see a deer or two but seldom this many.

When Emme and Rudy go to the lake house, they can't get enough of sniffing the yard. They ask to go outside again and again to do their business, but spend more time smelling than producing anything. Maybe they are smelling seven deer that ran across the yard on another day.

Off subject, what do you feed Emme and how much do you give her? I feed Chloe Precise dog food, adult formula - about 1/2 cup a day. No treats other than a small bit of chicken or turkey or a few peas. She is a real pooper though - can go 3 to 4 times a day! And is not overweight and very active (8.75 lbs).

Gorgeous photograph, by the way! No wonder the furry duo loves it outside...
