Isabella's pets

the first pic is to give you a little perspective. LITERALLY I took these pics from inside our living room. You can't appreciate how tame these deer are. Isabella was yelling at them the whole time I was takeing these pics 20 feet away and Guinness was barking at 'em. The super wide one is named "oscar" by myself and izzy. mostly because it is hillarious to hear her say "oscar." we see him every day, or almost every day. we've been taking pics of his horns on a regular basis so we can see how much they grow and change. (Oscar was also featured in "Guinness makes a friend" a few days ago.)

I think the other monster might be a buck that hangs out with him a lot and his horns have just really grown in the last week...I'm not sure, I didn't recognize him. (possibly the buck on "yowsa" entry in front of the blue house.) He is limping really badly and if he doesn't watch it, he might just get thinned from the herd by Mr douglas. It would be REALLY easy to hit him, I would think if Isabella called him from our kitchen window. Doug could aim and the deed would be done in seconds. How hard can a five yard shot be? Not sure how much our buddist neighbors would like that one. Doug said he's a young deer and it would be a shame for him to have to be put down. Maybe his leg will heal...he can't walk on it though. Hey, I have an idea!!! We'll take name ideas for the new guy! And the winner gets....three free nights stay in our attic, hey, it's that or the kitchen floor and truely, you'd be more comfortable in the attic.

We've had a lot of new bucks the last few days. Saturday I spooked 4 bucks in our front yard and they definately spooked me. They looked at me and watched until izzy and I got into the car then walked up to the apple tree and finished eatting. (If you want to see the horns up close, just click on the pic.)
