Since I had no power Saturday morning I took the dogs for a long walk to help fill my time.
I mentioned to Hubby after the walk, “Branches and limbs continue to fall up there; I know this because I am clearing and moving what I can as I notice them.”
Hubby said, “I’m sure there are, it’s been very windy lately.” His brows furrowed “I wonder how the deer fared?”
I shook my head quickly back and forth, “I don’t know, I wonder where they go?”
Yesterday power was back on so I took the dogs for a long walk so they would be good and tired so I could clean. 🙂
I put their fluorescent vests on because I was planning on taking them on a less traveled (by us anyway) trail.
There is one area where there are deer trails, and you can manage to wind your way through this denser area if you have to, normally I stay clear of it unless my hiking buddy is with me. I prefer to stay on the well traveled paths. 🙂 Sampson normally pays pretty close attention to this dense area, his head is high with his ears alert.
Since Delilah is attached to me by the 30 footer, she doesn’t get the opportunity to run off nearly as much as she would like.
Normally they are spotting chipmunks and squirrels, I know this because they typically don’t go very far and tend to stop and sniff right around a tree base or a rock.
Yesterday Sampson snapped to attention and dashed off into the woods; normally I let him get a bit of a run then call him back, but he wasn’t coming; then I saw the white tail of the deer. Delilah and I waited on the path, with me calling him intermittently until he came back.
A short time later he took off again in about the same spot and I thought things were cool until I heard the sound of something large scrambling through the brush, and there was another flash of white tail.
Today on our walk Sampson chased a deer again, in a different spot. I think we are safe in telling Hubby that at least one deer survived Alfred in our neck of the woods. 😉
