Not just one spotted fawn,
These four little babies were leisurely eating, completely unsupervised, in a field that I drove by on my way to the grocery store. Lucky for me, I had my camera handy and snapped a picture. I wonder where their mommies are? They're probably scouting out the best garden to raid when darkness falls. Sometimes I think the deer look at my planters and say to one another, "Oh! Look dear. (No pun intended. LOL!) A salad bar. How nice. I think I'll try one of each." Grrrrr...it's very maddening to work hard to make some thing look lovely only to have the whole thing munched down to nothing in a matter of moments. Oh, and if the deer don't like something you've planted, they pull it out by the roots and drop it beside the planter for you. How rude! As much as I love to see the deer, they are certainly little masters of destruction.
And speaking of unsupervised masters of destruction...Have you ever wondered what eleven year old triplet girls do when left to their own devises for a few minutes. Well wonder no more. First they take crazy pictures of themselves.
When the fun wears out of that, they harass the cat and take more pictures.
They think all of this is wildly funny. I think they are wildly funny. Tink the cat? Not so amused, I'm guessing.
Happy little girls enjoying themselves.Pussy looks good gave me A laugh.
Hugs Mary.

Hahahaha -- look at that cat! How can he sleep through such torture??? And maybe those fawns are quadruplets and the mom knows they'll be safe at a triplet house while she carouses around!!!
And here's a tip for you -- don't put them in your suburban and try to relocate them ROFLOL!!!

(I'm a blog stalker!) Have you tried sprinkling human hair (like from hair brushes or collected from hair cuts) around where the deers could possibly go? That and human urine are two really great deterrents for deer.

How amazing to see fawns in your neighbourhood! Reminds me of Bambi - one of my favourite Walt Disney movies. Great to see your girls enjoying themselves.

Oh those dratted deer! I experience the same thing around my yard and gardens. One year they at the geraniums and moss roses from the pots on my front porch. They also chewed all my rhubarb down to nothing. (I know the leaves are supposed to be poisonous, but I don't think it affected them one bit, although I wish it had).
I think your triplets are wildly funny too. What antics!

Awww! Fourplets! lol I'm sorry about your garden, Cassie, but I have a huge soft spot for fawns and deer in general. We raised 2 fawns, one from infancy and another our friends had until he was 4 months old and then we took him over. So there's nothing I love more than a good fawn. Their necks are the most amazing muscles, I could sit there and let that baby suck on my ear lobe until it bled if I could pet and stroke it's neck. They only have bottom teeth in the front, that's probably why they pull your plants out, it's hard to bite things off with only a few teeth.
Clover was with us for about 2.5 years and Blossom for 4.5 years. They visited every day and eat us out of house and home, baby carrots, cherries and KitKats were their favorite foods. You know, the GOOD stuff, good and pricey.
