Our New Roommate

I already spilled the beans on Facebook as to who our new roommate is. Not like it was a secret or anything, but you know... Anyway, isn't he/she the cutest thing ever?

We went to the Walk For Life this morning, and then came back to this little one. According to our neighbor he must have arrived and gotten comfy right after we left.

Babykins didn't even notice him at first, but once she did she fell in love. She has called him "da" "dee" and I swear a couple times I heard "Bambi" and "Deer" come out of her mouth too. She got as close to him as we would let her. (We'll teach her about fleas and the like later...)

We think we know who Mama Deer is:

But if she is Mama Deer, I'm just going to say that I am a MUCH better mother than her... I think it would be horrible for a baby to be left by her mama all day long, especially if baby is only a few days old... I know the whole animal kingdom does things differently than us humans, but I still find it heartbreaking! Mama Deer walks around the baby but won't get closer than 20 feet to her little one. I would think the baby would need to nurse!

So needless to say, deer are extremely stupid but that's a whole other blog post.

We like our new roomie- he/she's really cute and doesn't make any noise, but don't know what to do with her. Currently Mama Deer (aka Dopey) is walking around the neighbor's back yard while baby is in the front yard. And just so you all know, herding deer is impossible! And they say herding cats is hard...
