Idyllic Chick

I get excited when I find poop in my yard. It means that woodland critters have been on our property, and that makes me happy.

Yesterday while walking Monty I found a pile of rabbit poop. Not completely unusual. We have a whole family of rabbits that live under some downed trees on the other side of the yard. But man, that's a *lot* of rabbit poop. That rabbit must be fucking huge! I took another look and realized that the pellets weren't exactly round. They were more elongated than rabbit poop. It was obviously vegetarian poop, but what other vegetarian creatures to we have around here? Deer? That's an exciting thought. Deer?! We've seen deer a couple of times in the neighborhood, but not on our property. I ran inside to ask teh mighty and wise Internets what deer poop looks like. Lo and behold it looks just like (What I now know is) the deer poop in my back yard. Teh Internets also tell me that this means deer are either feeding or bedding nearby (Come on. When do *you* poop? After you eat or sleep, right?) and that just makes me smile. Happy deer. Happy home. Happy me.
