"Puppy."

Who needs the zoo when I can view local wildlife in the comfort of my own home? Found this doe scarfing down a few of the plants (I'm not sure I want to see what she did to the rose bushes) by the front door. She's not more than 8 feet away. Dana stood and watched her for the entire time she was out there. I asked Alex, "What that?" He said, "Puppy."

Which kind of makes sense. Some friends of ours adopted a greyhound from a greyhound rescue group. And the physique actually looks similar. Especially if you see that there are greyhounds of that color (fawn? red?).

I've been face to face with a buck in the same area. Yep, they're getting pretty bold. Just in case you don't know... don't stomp your foot at a buck. In deer-speak it means, "This is my territory." And unless you're ready to go head to head with a male...
