Went out to put cover pump on pool cover and let Ami roam.  He made a bee-line to the brush in front of the fence.  I heard a cough like the cat had a hairball - panicked and did not want the big boy to eat miss kitty.

Here is what I found:




The big guy was going nuts and I was frantic - both for the fawn and Ami - my 4 ft fence is not going to contain this dog if he decides to bolt. Up to now, with me in the backyard he has been content but now...So Mr. Dog is on is tether, I'm waiting for Mama Deer to come back and take possesion of her baby, and hopefully, decide there is a better place to raise a young'un.

Adorable

That's super adorable! I don't think I've ever even seen one in person before. I would be as excited as Ami lol.

So cute! Good thing Ami didn't get it in his head to jump over that fence!

for that, I am eternally grateful - the little fawn would have been lunch   I want to deter the deer - not annihilate them! It's gone now - I assume its mother came back and collected the baby - it was soooo tiny, maybe up to my knee? I think now, we'll have to put up the invisible fence sooner rather than later - now that he knows there is something out there, I'm guessing he's less likely to be so compliant about staying in the fence...Life in the country  

Adorable!!!! How close were you when you took this picture?

2 -3 ft - the fawn was on one side of the fence and I was on the other!
