The fawn strolls by every morning looking for treats in my garden

The doe must have heard that Jules the Jack Russell terrier was no longer on duty here in Victoria BC, since he got a transfer and huge promotion in March as guardian of  the  orchard in the Garden of Eden. I know he is doing a great job there,  but we do miss him so much. RIP Jules! The deer have free rein here now and the doe knows it!

She jumps the fence and the fawn goes under!
