Sometimes pride can make you do foolish things. This very young doe was so proud of her young fawn that she brought it out onto the open horse ring in full sight of the house. What a special moment for us. This was a couple of years back and I continue to watch but the deer while they still come daily to the salt lick, have kept their babes deep in the woods.
I breathe a sigh of relief as my dogs would certainly give chase with little consideration as to the danger to the baby. Now, they are lovely friendly golden retrievers but a chase is never to be denied and a doe is fair game - literally.
So special moments like these are held in place by the wonders of photography and puppies must wait for another day. Living in the country is an incredibly rich experience and the challenges are what help to develop character.
I should have a lot of that by now;)
