Oh, Deer!

Tonight I was walking my cairn terrier, Jack. He was busy sniifing the gorund and pulling this way and that on his leash when suddenly he looked across the street. I looked where he did to see a deer nearing the park bench that overlooks the bluff. It was so wonderful. You see, I live in the city, a very urban neighborhood except for the fact that we live across the street from a swath of woods- the forest I call it though it is not a true forest but a densely wooded area with trails. This may sound romantic but the trees along the trail have gang graffitti and in amongst the trees and vines you find such things as shoes, condoms, utensils, and once a shopping cart. It is an urban forest. But tonight there was a deer!
