She talked gently to the doe. She had backed the car ten feet. “Look”, she said. On the left only five feet in was a doe. It was standing in the tall grass munching. It did not run away. The doe stood there and my wife gently and softly whispered to her at least sixty seconds. My wife commented that the deer had hundreds of flies over her rump. The deer stood there. It did not bound into the woods. Finally we drove off and last we looked it was still in the same spot.

There were two baby rabbit in a nest in our tall grass. Someone was cutting the grass and discovered the two baby rabbits. We wanted to give them a fighting chance and relocate them out side our enclosed yard but the dogs found one first and of course they killed it. Every time Sweetie, the golden retriever and her two kids went out into the yard they were tracking their scent. Pax, our fourth dog, wasn’t interested at all in the rabbits. Now I know why I spotted a cottontail once slipping into our yard at night. She had a brood to take care of.
