Our furry friend

Yesterday, Hubby glanced out our bedroom window to see this deer walking past, about 15 feet from us. This morning we discovered that a deer (I think it's the same one) had bedded down behind our deck. Here she is after I scared her from her bed by taking her picture.

I think she may have been eating the leaves off of our poor little rhododendron--now we know who to blame when this one dies, too. We put out some carrots for our furry friend...I hope she finds them. I think she must be hungry or sick to be sleeping so close to our house.
