For the last few weeks, we’ve had three deer visiting our yard pretty regularly – a big Mama deer and two young ones. Though we’ve seen them all times of day, mostly they show up in the early morning. Luke knows that, and does not forget; so every morning first thing when we get up he has to go out on the deck and look for them.
I usually try to also check for them before I open the door, so I can watch them for a few minutes too before he scares them off. Actually, he’s pretty good though, he doesn’t usually bark at them. He runs along the fence bounding like a deer himself.
The deer are used enough to us that they seem to know we won’t (or in Luke’s case, can’t!) come closer, so they don’t always run away immediately. Both Luke and I are disappointed if they’re not there! They were not on the morning I took the photos, I will have to try to get a photo of them next time they show up. It’s a nice way to start the day.
We are joining our friends at Comedy Plus for the Wordless Wednesday blog hop. You may visit them and other blogs through the links below.
Your a good deer watcher.
He considers himself a professional! 🙂
I always love seeing deer. We have a mom and two fawns that live in the woods next to our neighborhood and we often see them out and about. The most exciting is when we see one on our bike ride through the woods in their “home”.
We used to sometimes see moose when we used to mountain bike – that was so cool!
Sweet!!!
That is a wonderful way to start your day. And Luke is such a good guard 🙂 Great photos of him looking for them…
Nothing gets by Luke! 🙂
I love seeing deer. They are such beautiful creatures.
What a blessing to live where there are deer for neighbors!
It certainly is!
Good to know your canine security system remains ever vigilant. 🦌
He’s always on the job!
Luke is very smart to remember about the deer! We love watching the deer come into our yard, too.
Our Gang is the same way with places we see cats or dogs along our walks. They always are extra vigilant walking by!
Dogs really do have amazing memories!
Awe that’s so nice!! We used to have a big pine forest behind us until they built houses and I miss having all the wildlife roaming around back there.

The same thing happened at our previous home, but we did still at least see some deer in spite of the additional houses.
Sometimes we see them cross the street in front of us when we’re out for our walkies. I always sniff the Aire once we get to the spot where they were. Mom thinks they are so beautiful and so graceful.
I have to be careful we don’t see them when we’re out walking – Luke gets a little too excited about that!! 🙂
You sure are on deer watch Luke!
Luke is a handsome pup. If Luke is here then so am I. He’s a great lookout.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. Extra treats for hard working Luke. ♥
He always lets me know if they are there, so I can step out and get a look too.
I would probably take my coffee out on the deck, sit down, and watch and wait with Luke – all day if necessary – to see the deer. ❤️
The joys of being retired!! 🙂
we often meet a rabbit family (87? 187? or more?) I’m glad when they are not there on one hand but if I can’t see them I worry for them… hunting season is open so…
I understand what you’re saying! Deer season has started here too and I worry for them. We don’t let anyone hunt on our land though, so hopefully the deer know they have a safe place here. ♥
We dogs always remember where to find the creatures we want to see and have seen in the past.
And long after you’ve seen them again too! 🙂
