Things Settle Down

Roger is feeling much better. He stopped taking pain medication Friday night, and all is well. He's definitely on the road to full recovery. Life is starting to feel reliably safe again, and relatively normal for us. Well except for this... these two bucks seemed to enjoy Roger's company quite a bit. They didn't run or get spooked at all while he was busy pulling out thistle. They hung around for a long while just on the other side of the fence, eating the low grasses and checking out the new healthy guy.

He must be doing well pulling thistle. That is great news. I love his kabitzers.

Glad things have settled down. Seems most people don't appreciate how nice "settled down" can be.

Great photos of Roger and deer neighbors! For some reason, the word "reciprocity" comes to mind.

Sweet! So good to hear Roger's feeling good. He looks great!
Those fellers' horns are sure bigger than the ones we saw on deer in Ashland, OR, as they mosied around the little house we were staying in last week.

WOW. My deer pass by, but they never stay to visit! You are lucky. Glad to know that Roger is doing so well.

Well, if you're going to have an audience while you work, I guess there is no better. :)

Did you toss the thistle over the fence for them? Perhaps they thought Roger was preparing a buffet for them.

That's weird. Wonder if someone is feeding them...

Or maybe Roger is just the Deer Whisperer.

Anyway, glad to hear he's on the mend.
