Do you ever see wild animals?

View all responses

In my neck of the woods, the only wild animals I usually see are Deer, Squirrels, Raccoons and maybe if I’m lucky Possums and Armadillos.

Usually around dusk, I see a couple Deer eating in a field by my house. Although it’s cute, I’m always paranoid because there have been multiple times a Deer will decide to give me a heart attack by running right in front of my car (don’t worry… even though I constantly hit curbs, I always manage to dodge Deer).

One day, when we were driving, I looked out the window and said “Oh Deer!” (with much excitement). My husband was with me and apparently the tone of my voice scared him so bad – he ended up yelling “What Honey!?”. Ever since then, it’s become an inside joke when we see Deer. 🙂

“Oh Deer!”
