Deer Food...who woould have thought
So, Saturday night I threw a big bash for my wife's birthday and we were
left with a large bowl of lemon and lime quarters which were to be used for water and drinks. The next morning, I decided instead of keeping them in the fridge to dry-out and rot, I would just throw them in the yard to naturally decompose. It wasn't more than 5 minutes and there were two does out in the yard gobbling them up, peel and all. Thirty minutes later, all were gone. I would have never guessed that deer (and these are fat & happy deer) would eat citrus. |

Stock clerk at local Dollar General said one customer came in and bought 12 22 lb bags of dry dog food (3 bucks a bag, cheapest available there). He said the customer said they feed it to the deer. -- Dave Apathy and denial are close cousins |

It was unbelievable, I always thought of myself as a "dog person" if *anything* having had a couple Golden Retrievers, Welsh Terrier (Terror), etc. but that little kitten completely stole my heart. Both my wife and I completely changed our lives for 3-months to care for her and when we finally *had* to euthanize her, it was like the death of a child. That was 9-months ago and I still think of her every day. I always thought that people who spend a lot of money on animals were crazy but in 3 months (she was only 4.5 months old when she died), we spent $3500! OK, I still think people who spend that much on a sick animal are crazy...call me crazy! lol |
