Meanwhile, one and a half hours east of Rob and Josh, my parents were enjoying a leisurely Friday evening watching TV. They happened to see a pair of eyes and large ears peering in at them. My dad went to the door, and this is what he saw.
sorry for the quality of the picture, but I thought you'd get the idea |
When my dad opened the door, this deer tried to come in. Seriously. We made the obvious assumption that this girl was someone's pet - since she couldn't have tied the handkerchief around her own neck. My parents live near a good bit of forest-like area, but this has never happened before.
The neighbors came over to pose for pictures and pet the deer.
she's kinda cute, don't you think? |
Don't you think it's a little ironic and Rob and Josh were willing to brave cold and boredom [while sitting in a tree] just to see one of these - when all this poor deer wanted to do was come in and watch TV?
I've never heard of pet deer. Interesting. Good thing your parents didn't miss it!
ReplyDeleteI know, weird, huh?
ReplyDeleteShe ran away - hopefully she got home safely.
I suspect that whoever "owns" her put the scarf round her neck to signify she was a pet not wild.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing coincidence. Spooky!
Now that's something i don't have in my backyard, how cute.
