Oh Deer...


So Ken and Marion have built a trough near their house and they feed "the girls" twice a day. Sunday morning when we were there, 9 deer came running down the hill when Ken whistled for them. Apparently if they don't get out early enough in the morning the deer will wander around the house, peeking in the windows as if to say "hey, you guys up yet? How 'bout a little breakfast around here".

Lisa took these pictures and you might think she has a crazy telephoto lens. Nope. That's how close they were. There is one little baby that will come really close to Ken. Maddie and Mackenzie had a perfect little perch on the windowsill to watch the deer. They could also see the 9 (NINE) cats out the bedroom window.

It's a lost episode of Lorne Green's Wilderness around there I tell you.

Now brace yourself. What you are about to see is strange, unusual, and well a bit weird. One of the NINE cats likes to hop up onto the trough for a good ol' lick. Is it salty? What? I don't know. But sure as shit, this cat hops up there and one of the deer licks her little heart out. At one point the cat is lying right down in there with a leg draped over the side. It's like a Cat Spa or something.
