Oh Deer!

Hi Everyone!!

I saw the funniest thing this morning! I woke Mom early as I needed to use the peepads...she was carrying me into the laundry room when I looked outside and saw a deer family....Mom, Dad and two twin fawns. The deer mom took the twins through a row of flags that tell Lacie and me where the Invisible Fence is. The daddy deer stopped in front of these little flags and snorted. He walked back and forth frantically trying to join his family, but he was afraid to walk through the 8 inch high flags. He would get a running start to dash though, then he'd chicken out and stop dead and nearly fall over. My mom was laughing so hard she nearly fell over, too. Daddy deer finally got one last running start and made a magnificent 6 foot leap over the flags. I don't think this deer had all of the synapses working in his small deer brain.

As you can see from the above pic, Lacie and I spent some time today exercising our jaw muscles. There is nothing better than a good tug-of-war game to get the terrier blood stirring. We then went outside and spent some time digging up the new landscaping that was planted last week. The ground is nice and soft and easy to make large muddy holes to cool off in! You can see some of the new plants behind us...don't you just love Lacie's smile?? She does that right before she does something to really irritate me. For such a little dog, she surely has a mouthful of very large terrier teeth. I hate to say it, but she frightens me sometimes! Thanks to all who have come and visited us here....we love hearing from everyone. I'm a little confused how to make a "friend's list" on the side of our blog....I get everything right in the preview, and then all of your names disappear when I go back to the blog...ideas, guys???? Oops, need to run....since Lacie discovered "our" blog that she didn't know about, she has limited my computer time to like nothing. Need to go hide!!!! Happy Barks, Scruffy
