Date: 24 October 2008
Climate: about 46 degrees, clear skies
Location: My house in Gwynedd Valley, PA
I am sitting, looking outside watching the trees swaying in the breeze and the swings on the swing set go back and forth. After a few minutes of spacing out while looking out the window, i notice that a few deer have entered the scene. There are 4. Two are significantly bigger than the others and one has huge antlers. They are eating off of the ground. Three of them are rather close together, within about 8 feet, but one of off by itself. The one with antlers is off by itself. He seems as though he doesn't need to be as protected as the others. I can all of a sudden hear my dogs in the front of the yard. All of the deers heads shot strait up and were all looking around. Alarmed they replanted their feet. Their heads were moving quickly to get a better sense of where the noise was coming from. After about 1 minute i see my 3 dogs come tearing around the side of the house scaring the deer away so fast. Barking ferociously my biggest dog was acting as a protector, even though he would never hurt anything. There are a few squirrels that were visible to me a few minutes ago, but now they have all raced up a tree. They had been rather close to the deer, digging in the grass and under the fallen dead leaves.
