So sorry about our sudden disappearance for two weeks. Mommy got busy at work and then has been out of town the last couple of weekends to see family and take a much needed vacation, so she's had no time for us to be online. We were very sad we couldn't get on, coz we missed all of you.
But we are back now...and unfortunately with the most frightful news!
You see, our mommy and daddy went away this long weekend to a place called Waterton, to which place they go every year for a short weekend vacation. They liked the place a lot, and they said they had a lot of fun, canoeing and golfing and walking along the lakeshore.
They also saw a lot of deer in the townsite. A lot of them. They were EVERYWHERE. They boldly grazed on the front lawns while the humans were nearby watering their flowers. They hung out in the shade in the backyard as the humans were there sipping beer. They strolled the streets with their fawns, as if they too were doing some Saturday shopping.
And then mommy and daddy came back to their lodge one afternoon and discovered that the lodge had a new resident relaxing in the shade of the lodge (avert your eyes now, little ones!):
Daddy walked up real close to him (maybe 5 ft?) to take the picture with his cellphone. He was a young buck...but already he's been sharpening his antlers, as you can see by what's left of the dangling velvet that used to cover his antlers - to see biggify the picture above. Mommy was in a bit of a panic. And of course we freaked when we saw the picture....
If you ever doubted that the vishus deer are planning WORLD DOMINATION...here is irrefutable proof. Right in this townsite in the Waterton Lakes National Park! Skeezix, help us! What can we do to stop this???

Wow, how scary that the vishus deer was so close to your humans' lodge! I'm glad they weren't hurt.
Good to hear from you again - you've been missed!

i didn't let lucy look at the pictures...she's too young and would be scarred (and scared) for life!
lucy: let me see! i can handle ANYTHING!
marie? i'm having lots of fun with thundering herd...i play at midnight, at 3 am, at 4:30 am. mom's been saying something about banishment...what does that mean?
so glad you're back!
Welcome back!You are lucky your beans made it back and you are not an orphan.Best for kitties to stay inside.
It's ok my Sweet, Tigmut'hep says he'd be only too happy (and too fat) to eat all the deer you want him to! Venison is his all time fave and we don't get it often... Mummy's not had a chance to go see her Grandma in the New Forest for a while now and that's where she gets it from. So you see he's good and ready for a big dinner full of yummy deer meat! Sometimes I'm sure he thinks he's a full size Panther, and not just a petite one! ;)
Welcome back! We were gone for a little while, too. Well, a very long while.
What an experience! Your daddy was so brave to get a picture even though he was putting himself in harm's way!

A deer next to your doorstep!!! Unbelievable! We saw a porcupine the other day and actually got out of the car to take pictures! I didn't even know what it was! I had only ever seen pics in books and assumed they were the size of a hedgehog! Ha ha! So much for city living! Great blog! Nice to meet you!
