had the polar bears and the huskies not read their emails informing them they are natural enemies?!
shhh ... don't anyone tell them now ...

love the deer and cat too ...

my very first dog i had ... cross between a shepherd and a boxer ... many years ago ... always accompanied us on our camping trips ...

we'd hike and backpack to remote places ... and one trip ... we set up camp by a beautiful lake ... decided to remain there for the week it was so breathtaking ...

ralph the dog ... on the first day there ... met and became friends with an adult deer ... both were the same color ... about the same size too ...

ralph never desired to do ANYTHING with his human counterparts ... all he did was play with the deer all day long ... when we fed ralph his dinner before dusk ... the deer would know that playtime was over for the day ... off it pranced somewhere within the forest to sleep ...

and the next morning ... it would be waiting for the dog to finish up his breakfast ... so they could play some more ...

it was extraordinary ... by about the end of the week ... it simply became the norm for us all ...
have pictures buried somewhere in a photo album ...

the saddest part is when we had to leave ... i actually shed some tears for these two animal friends ...

we could all learn alot from animals and nature alike ... they are one of the best teachers we have ...

enjoyed these ... thank you for bringing back wonderful memories ...
