Dot, the mule deer, is
back. She was a regular visitor last
year, but disappeared for most of the winter.
I was a bit concerned she might have perished during our hard winter. Happily, I have seen Dot a couple of times
over the last week or so.
Dot is a bit
unusual. She does not display a great
deal of skittishness toward humans. She
also tends to be alone quite a bit.
When I first saw her
outside my window this spring, I grabbed a couple of uncooked Brussel sprouts
and threw them at her from my door. I
also kept a few for myself. We had a
kind of moment there, each of us looking at one another, eating our Brussel
sprouts.

I imagine you had a moment when you and Dot were one. I sometimes experience that with dogs and cats.
ReplyDeleteDot is pretty unusual for a deer. She will walk right up to the deck when we are out there.
