DEER Monday 09/13/2021

Sorry this is later than usual. PapaWick's older sister is coming to visit next week and we've been getting ready all day. You will notice some carrot residue on Mija. The carrots I opened today were icky, but in date. My son, who works for a major grocer here, said they probably froze somewhere along the way. There is a picture below. PapaWick made me wear gloves to toss them (thankfully). Anyway, some of the carrots landed on her head and torso...lol.

Mija is so adorable and seems to be a regular visitor at the Wick diner! I'm sure she didn't mind the carrots being soft and landing on her head! It's food and a tasty treat for the deer. That was nice of you to make sure the food was eaten despite the icky issue!

Enjoy your time with PapaWick's sister, I'm sure she will be comfortable and welcome by the kindness you always provide! As always enjoyable photos!

Aw!! Mija is coming home to roost lol!

She has found a little spot of her own.

How sweet is she? I would have to come out and give her a hug and kiss. They are all so irresistable!💓

Ick to the carrots! What a mess. i have never seen that happen. The little fawn poses so pretty. That is a lovely picture of the fawn with her mother. Wait until PapaWick's sister sees all the deer. That will be a real treat.

What a sweetie!

Does SIL know about your deer family? If not, What a great surprise for her.

@MamaWick How adorable! Mija looks like a lawn ornament, posed so prettily. Her mom is a looker too!

Yucky on the carrots, but obviously it didn't affect the taste. Do I spy an apple snack? Nom nom.

Woofs to sweet Cricket in heaven. No doubt she's enjoying the bountiful goodies there. 💕

PapaWick's sister knows all about the deer and is looking forward to feeding them. She will be 81 in October. She's really looking forward to visiting Texas as she's not traveled much in her life.

@luvzchiz those were sliced up bananas with peels still on.

I don't think Mija minded the carrots on her head one bit! LOL! I also see her spots are beginning to fade more as she grows! She's so precious!!

Wonderful pictures of that sweetie pie. If your deer could only speak...it would be “Thank you, thank you.” But you do see that special softness in their expressions.

I am sure that Papa Wick’s sister will have a great time visiting with you and enjoying your deer. Have a great time.

@MamaWick & PapaWick

Boy! You aren't kidding about the carrots. Who knows, they may even prefer mushy ones .. in any case, they aren't fussy.

They just appreciate your care & hospitality each day.
