Reindeer Visit

Look who came to my neighborhood to visit?  I could barely believe my eyes!  He was just over my backyard fence in my neighbor's pasture.

 I texted my neighbor to ask her how a reindeer got in her back yard.  She texted back, "I am not home, are you sure it is real?  Maybe it is someone's Christmas lawn decoration." Umm...no, he is real.  But that would be the coolest decoration ever!

I watched him wander for a while, then Holly caught his scent, started barking like crazy and scared him off.  But not before I got a few pictures so I could prove my story!

I later learned he is not actually a reindeer, but a mule deer that wandered away from his herd in the foothills on the other side of the Jordan River.  So cool!  It made my day.
