Bambi

Cheridan got her first REAL taste of wildlife today. Most of you know that we have a male lab named Dakota. Well Dakota is not only a duck hunter but a turkey, cat, and now deer hunter. That is right DEER hunter! This morning Cody was getting ready to leave for work when he noticed that Dakota had broken the wireless fence boundary and was off in the woods. Dakota happy as can be comes strolling out of the wood with a baby deer in his mouth. Cody being an wildlife enthusiast, went barreling out the door to rescue this deer. He got the baby out of Dakota's mouth and frantically started check the fawn for any injuries. There where no injuries just a very scared little deer. Cody was so pissed at Dakota he couldn't see straight. He was worried that because he touched the fawn the doe might not have anything to do with it. So we called the Game Warden in Parker Co, to see what we should do. He gave us the run down on how to remove our smell from the fawn. But before we prepped the fawn, we let miss Cheridan have a peek. She smiled but also had the look of what the heck is that??? Here are a couple of pics from this morning. Ahhhh the pleasures of living in the country! As for the fawn the doe was calling for it's baby by the time we got it wiped down to go back into the woods. Mommy and baby are doing just fine. As for Dakota he is still in time out!
