Deer-dog standoff

Fury was in the back garden, in the drizzle. I noticed that she was "pointing" into the woods... and there was something white, wagging.

Went to investigate. Fury didn't bark, didn't get excited, just continued to stare.

There were two deer, one slightly larger than the other, at least as big as the dog (and she is big). They were standing their ground. And the largest was snorting with indignation. "Hmmmmph! Hmmmmph!!!"

Didn't know they did that. Seems to work on dogs. She went obediently back into the house, and we left the deer to the business of eating smilax. Please. Not the hostas, ok?
