Mexican Standoff
I very much love sending my imposing 10 pound Papillons to chase the deer away from our yard and garden.
Who knew that a little ball of fur could be so scary? Remember seeing Sarah terrify the deer and sending them scurrying?
Well, I am sad to report that the deer just might be catching on that my Papillons have their limits. We had a bit of a Mexican standoff this morning. Since the grass was wet, Sophie and Sarah were loathe to wade in to eat the deer.
The deer, sensing the hesitation, took advantage of the situation and stared back at the Papillons.
More staring ensued…
Until Sarah worked up her courage to wade into the high, wet grass.
The deer, finally leaped out of sight.
No more deer.
Good job, babies.

I hope the pictues pop up next time I look. This time I could read the text but no pictures. I could in my minds eye see your girls staring down those deer.

Is anyone else having difficulties seeing the photos? I see them just fine in two browsers. Humm.

I can see the photos fine. Your Papillons are so tough
I can see why those deer are terrified!

Tucker the Lab is seven times heavier than those little guys and the deer are not afraid!!! I need to borrow the twins for a bit!

Those little pups are so awesome! What a fun picture seeing them at the edge of the tall grass.

LOL!!! I can see why you take such pleasure in sending them out to do your deer-scaring. How fun to watch that must be.

I’m glad everyone enjoys–and sees the humor in–my little rambunctious paps. They surely do love deer. I have to get a better grip on the photo thing to do it all justice.
