HUNGRY WHITE TAILS

Searching through the refrigerator for a few items to feed the deer, just wasn't cutting it! These small white tails are showing the effects of very little rain, with their rib cages visible, and an appetite that has a higher priority than their fear of humans. So, off we went to the local feed store, purchasing a 50 lb bag of deer corn. Thinking that would last for the remaining 2 days of our stay here at Medina Lake, we returned to the motor home and literally had them eating out of our hands. I initially dumped a few lbs on the ground for about 10 deer, and they devoured that in no time at all. I guess that was all it took to get the "deer internet" hooked up, because when I went out a little later to feed them again, there were almost 50 sets of big ears, anxiously waiting for a hand out. It didn't take long for our 50 lb bag to diminish rather quickly, so today, we'll make another trip to the feed store. Deer weren't the only hungry animals we discovered at this Thousand Trails. Patty came across a mother cat and kittens near the lodge, so, while we were out, cat food was also on the list. She went to feed them just before dark, and reported that they were also quite hungry. We both love animals, and if it were possible, we would probably rescue every hungry animal that we come across. All we can do is to feed them while we're here, and hope that as other people come and go, they'll do the same.
Today is Patty's son's birthday. Happy birthday Dave!
