Rupert & Co.

Goodness Gracious I love this little face. I love the way he tilts his head at me when he sees me, and how he is the hyper hypo of the herd. Bon Jour Rupert!The other day I stumbled upon Rupert and his tired Mama. She gave me a dirty glare as if to say, "He's been up ALL night, I just finally got him to settle down, and now you show up to get him all riled up. I just need 20 minutes... 20 minutes without anyone being wild." Ahem... maybe I'm projecting a bit. I can relate to Rupert's Mama. I love that this is in my trunk. When we bought the house, the condition was that we would continue to take care of the deer. I was a little leary.. the last thing I needed was 14 more pets. However, I love the deer and since the hillsides are looking bare, I've been supplementing with Deer Chow. The hillside has it's own deer faucet for water, and I have a bowl up there that I place the Deer Chow in. I put the bowl up by the post that is up there....
And when the bowl is empty, they kick it down the hillside. As if they are saying, "I thought we talked about this. What's the deal? The bowl is empty. Fill it up, Wenchy!" These are Hollywood deer, so they've got a bit of Diva in them.
