Lady Doe shelters and feasts in the neighbors yard during the day ( photo / image / picture from Jewell's Garden ) Lady Doe seems to have taken up residence in the neighbors backyard. Even with my dogs making a ruckus she went back to nibbling the greenery, before going back to her "quiet place".

Wow, great shots! It's perfect that she is living next door ... you still get to watch her but she's eating your neighbors plants instead of yours!!
Always makes me a little sad seeing her, but you're right Netty. Better someone else's yard than mine. Dogs are bad enough, deer do a different type of damage. :-? The neighbor is kind hearted and feeds the squirrels and birds (which means the racoons and deer also raid the feeder). A little deer browsing seems to put things in perspective. It also shows how quiet our working class neighborhood is during the day, even with all the walkers out and about.
I think it would be best for you dogs to not go near the doe. I just saw a video a while ago that a doe stomped a poor dog because the dog was trying to get near it's offspring
