Vishus Deer


Mom has had this little back yard, originally a dog run, for about fifteen to twenty years now without any deer invading it. Last Tuesday Mom and Dad came home from some kind of an appointment and Dad said “what is that deer doing lying in the back yard.” Mom looked and big as life there she was. She jumped up when she saw Mom and Dad peering out the window. Mom got that flashy thing and got a couple of pictures of her. Dad said, “how are you going to get her out of there.” Mom told him she was going around to the back and open the gate for her. She wished she had that flashy thing when she got back there to let the deer out cause she ran and jumped the highest part of the fence so gracefully. Well, doggone if she didn’t do a job on Moms roses, you can see them in the background. Yesterday Mom and Dad went away again for most of the afternoon. Last night Mom went outside to see if her flowers needed water and I’ll be darned if the deer hadn’t gotten back in and started to eat her other flowers. The deer ate some more of the roses too. Seems to be a smart deer, she goes back there when Mom and Dad are gone. Mom keeps checking when she's in the kitchen to see if the deer is out there again. Mom says she will have to bring in the flowers she wants most when they leave to go anywhere. Moms double purple and white petunia plant was full of blooms and looked so darn pretty. You can see that in the picture too. Also on the Saturday post. She ate all the blooms off but hasn’t destroyed the whole plant, Mom says that will have come in when they leave, for sure. It's to bad all of us cats couldn't have ganged up on the deer, but there was no way to get outside. We was locked in................................Casper.

Yikes! When they chew up the beautiful flowers, that is a sign of their vishusness.

Oh no! A vishus deer eating up all of your plants! Is there any thing to deter the deer from doing this?

Just how vishus can an vishus deer be??? To eat innocent flowers ...

Oh no! Not good that your mum is losing her plants to the deer. Mum forgot if it is human hair that will keep deers away!.
