Which One is More Domesticated?


Just when I thought it would be a boring day...

I looked out the window to see a deer in my neighbors yard. Curious, since we don't normally get deer in our yards here and also because Marley had just come in from outside and he didn't smell it? Hear it? SEE IT???

I headed out with my neighbor, Doug to watch it tear into his shrubbery. Marley came too. He took a position, stealth-like, amongst the evergreens, atop of the back yard.



Despite his best efforts not to obvious, the deer spotted him and came over to chat.
Marley stood his ground, tail wagging, not wanting to venture closer than 3 feet!





They gazed into each others eyes a few moments then the deer moved on to my front yard, for some "fall clean-up". Only then did Marley step forward to sniff the fence where the deer had been.
