Dog vs. Deer


Well, the dogs have taken to "protecting" their territory from the deer. The one mama deer with the two babies often comes around our place and she seems to like to eat something in back where the 'seasonal' creek runs. She will come right up to the fence which drives Shasta and Monkey crazy! She will keep eating as they bark hysterically but you can tell the loud noise bothers her ears.

When the babies are with her, mama deer will run along the fence with the dogs, seeming to use herself to block the dogs from the babies. Sometimes she will even make like she's going to charge the dogs.

You'll probably have to zoom in, but here are the babies just behind their mama.

Uh oh! That's probably driving the pups crazy!
