Wanna See A Cute Baby?

These people here are absurd. Earlier yesterday, as I walked outside with my dog, a neighbor, sitting on her patio, alerted me that there was a fawn curled up behind the bushes beside her. I walked over and could just make out its coat. Hours later, not thinking anything of it, I exited that same side door, and this same neighbor, now exiting her kitchen hollered out to ask me if I could see it by the downspout (rain gutter). I stopped and pulled out my phone to take a few shots so I could actually see the deer when I got home. While I did that, she went back into her kitched. Then another neighbor happened around the corner. I said, The fawn is by the ownspout (so she would slow her pace). She went around me and knocked on the first woman's door. When she answered it, that third woman went off on her for telling people about the fawn, me taking pictures and my GUIDE DOG being right there. She said the dog being there was too dangerous. That's when I spoke up, saying. "The pictures are not hurting anyone, and my dog is highly trained to ignore wildlife." Meanwhile, my dog (oblivious to the fawn) was stamding calmly by my side, looking at the first neighbor, and twitching his ears each time she spoke. There was a fourth person in her car. She heard the whole thing, and I spoke too her after the noseybody went inside. About an hour later, I called the first neighbor, and she told me a fifth, who had not even been outside when all this occured came to her and told her my GUIDE DOG should not be walked in the yard right now. This morning, he and I went for a walk, and on the way home, that noseybody was standing in the parking lot watching me. I grabbed my phone and clicked video just to have a timestamp and record anyting if necessary. But, I did not give her the pleasure. I turned left and went to the main entrance. By the time I got to the end of the foyer and looked to my right, that noseybody was in the hallway, heading toward the community room watching me. I know she was watching me because she stopped and hid behind the little 1FT X 8FT wall alongside the firedoor and watched me once she realized she'd been caught.

Sounds like that lady was much more dangerous than the dog would have been. Some people are so weird. Noseybody for sure.

@celticeagle Once I got to the Community Room, I sat down. She turned down the foyer, looked out the window on the vestibule door. then into the kitchen, headed back toward her hall, but not before staring at me for a few minutes more. Poor little fool might be developing dementia.

She is. It's the same one that I posted was staring at me through my window. She continues to stalk me. Yesterday, she was several feet in front of me, but stopped as if she was about to step up to her own door, but then didn't. I walked passed, and she followed me.

Everyone (except a few) was so excited that his mother picked our home as the safe place.

That is too cute. But the lady sounds a bit extreme. Nosy neighbors are horrible.

I love the photo. Those ladies need more things to keep them occupied than to give you a hard time.

Yes, they most certainly do. It was sweet seeing that fawn, but I am so glad he was gone the next day.

You captured an amazing picture, and I absolutely love it. And man, what kind of idiot adult doesn’t realize the intelligence and training of a guide dog?!

Thank you. I couldn't see what was on the screen. All I knew was I had zoomed in and hoped for the best. Apparently at least two idiot adults here don't realize the intelligence and training of a Bouvier des Flandres guide dog. And look at that sweet little buck. His body posture is calm: curled or resting without tension or obvious attempt to flee. Eyes are open but not wide or bulging — they’re relaxed, no whites showing. Ears are in a neutral position — not pinned back or hyper-alert. No visible struggle marks or signs of frantic movement in the grass around it. That fawn looks like it’s doing what very young fawns do when separated from the doe: lying low, staying still, and relying on camouflage.

That is a great picture. They have no idea how much training those dogs get

No, they have no idea at all, but our Director of Compliance does. She will put them in their places.

She may have to die or end up in a nursing home, assisted living, or a memory care center before she tires of doing that, but I hope she gets tired of it soon, too.
