    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".

    What a great shot, hope she doesn't do any damage to the plants.

    I hope it wasn't your neighbours pot plants she was nibbling on. Excellent shots of Lady Doe. :-D

    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. :stew1:

    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
