Marty’s photo of the day #3630: Every morning before work, I take my dog, Nellie, to a clearing in the woods by my house, and we attempt to play Frisbee. Yesterday, we had a very curious (and I think very pregnant) doe hanging around. First, I had to talk the deer out of Deb’s garden, and later, she stood for a good ten minutes, watching me throw the Frisbee and Nellie bring it back after it hit the ground. It was almost as if she wanted to join in and show Nellie the advantage of looking up much earlier in the Frisbee’s flight. Nellie may only catch an occasional Frisbee, but I was so proud of her for not chasing the deer. She always kept the deer in-sight (her excuse for all the misses), but unlike what she would have done when we first adopted her, she resisted showing off that she too can run like a deer.
