Seven deer, including 2 spotted babies, stood about on the side lawn munching grass. Sugar does not see them right off, and Drew, who is walking her, decides to see how close he can get to the deer.
With only a few feet between him and one of the mothers, Drew hears Sugar begin to growl. The mother deer swings around and confronts them, nostrils flaring. Drew immediately backs away dragging Sugar to a safer location. Why didn't the deer just disappear into the woods? he wondered.
You have to understand the relationship between a mother and child, I think to myself. Don't ever put a child at risk when Mom is nearby. She will protect. After all, you don't spend 20 hours in labor and lose two years of sleep and give them all your love just to see some silly thing inadvertently take them out.
Drew listens, then says it still would have made more sense and been easier if she had just run away. Hum. He is still very young. Someday, when he is a parent, he will get it.
