Deerspotting

Meet Lucky, my neighbor.

She was rescued as a tiny baby by Mark and Citlali from the scene of the accident which cost the lives of her mother and brother. They bottle fed the little fawn, and she grew into the lovely scenery-eating lady you see here. Mark and Citlali’s dog, Luna, took good care of baby Lucky, and I’m pretty sure Lucky thinks Luna is her mother and vice versa. Luna is very protective of Lucky, despite the fact that Lucky is about five times bigger, and you rarely see one without the other.

When I first met Lucky, Luna kept trying to get between us until she was sure I wasn’t going to make any trouble. Now I often look up and see the deer and dog, just passing through my garden.

    Another lesson from the animals, they unlike ourselves, humans, take care of another species without question and do it with love and devotion.

    From what I have observed, once the faun grows up…..I think Lucky ought to watch out….esp. as the rutting season approaches.
    Wonderful to see the interaction at this stage though.

    Well, it’s been a couple of years now, and no problems. Also Lucky is a female, and so is Luna.

    I think Mark has video of the dog, deer, and their cat all playing together!
