Befriending Orphaned Blacktail Deer and Their Reactions to My Elderly Chihuahua

Occurred on August 1, 2023/ Port Townsend, Washington, USA

Info from Licensor: Blacktail deer are plentiful in my wooded neighborhood, and I’ve befriended several that were orphaned. They show up most days, hoping I’ll come out and provide some apples, peanuts, and seeds. If I happen to let out our elderly chihuahua to do his business when they are there, they watch him like an approaching mountain lion. The dog has declining vision and hearing, so he just toddles around the yard, completely unaware that deer are watching his every move!
