where's the sleigh and the fat guy?
I heard the dogs barking but figured they were just playing. Shortly thereafter, I walked outside to get something out of the truck. That's when I saw what the dogs were barking at.
At the bottom of my neighbor's driveway, there was a herd of mule deer. Not just one or two, but an entire herd. I watched them as they formed up and started walking down the other end of the circle.
The largest one went first, followed closely in single file by the second. Then there were three sets of two, in perfect formation, side by side, looking like they were lined up to pull the sleigh. They were just does, and I didn't see Rudolph anywhere.
I kind of stood there for a few minutes, I think with my mouth hanging open. I just couldn't believe how they lined themselves up and in my mind's eye, I could see Santa, his reindeer, and the sleigh. But it's only December 19. I just stood there and watched them walk down the middle of the street and around the circle and out of sight. They didn't run when they saw me, they just did the Christmas deer shuffle down the road.
Cool, huh?
