New Pets

We have had these two deer in our backyard everyday for over a month well, they haven't been in the yard this last week but other than that every morning before the boys go to school they would come back and lay down in the back yard and then eat the oranges Cayden cut up and put in the back yard for them. Our neighbors have jokingly called them our new pets because of how often they have been in the backyard. It became a daily ritual to check on the deer every morning to see if they were still there and if they liked the oranges Cayden left them. I kind of miss seeing them there this past week.



Having deer in our yard isn't an unusual thing. We had one in our yard a few years back that we nicknamed Spike because he had antlers that hadn't branched off. These are the first two deer that have almost taken up residency since Spike though.



In the picture the deer that is in front was asleep and didn't tuck it's head in like deer normally do when they sleep. It had it's head kind of like cats or dogs do when they sleep. The deer are a second year fawn and a doe.
