So we’re trying to clean up a guest bedroom on a windy, cold Saturday when we hear Toots throwing a hysterical fit outside. He’s ADD to begin with, so when he gets fixated on something, well, beware. This time he couldn’t take his eyes off of a huge deer on the other side of our fence — and the deer appeared to be taunting him. I grabbed my little point and shoot and started recording a movie. I wish I was fluent in Dog and Deer.

Toots: Get out! My yard! My yaaarrrd!! My my my yard! Mine! Mine!
Deer: Dude, step off.
Toots: Get out get out get out get out get out get out. Get out! Get out get out get out!
Deer: I’m 20 times your size. Do you know who you’re talking to?
Toots: Get out get out get out get out get out get out!! Get out!!!! Mine mine mine!!

Or something. Anyway, this is how it ended. If there wasn’t a fence in the way, Toots could have been worked. Or he would have ran into the house with the deer chasing him, in which case we’d have had quite the scuffle in our living room. Click on the thumbnail below to watch the mayhem.
