Not so much about pets, this picture was taken as me and the dog left the house to go for a walk, and found these youngsters giving us the stink eye

What species?
We get a lot of Fallow deer around here. They are actually a problem.
But we also regularly see Red deer and I swear I have seen a Sambar up in the high country around here; but when I try to tell that to the locals they say that we are too far North and either “I shouldn’t be drinking when I’m out shooting” or “It was probably just a big Red Stag”.

There’s a herd of about 6 or 7 who travel along the creek behind our house- we see them behind the fence in the yard pretty regularly, and sometimes walking across our front yard. They know the dog can’t get to them, and it’s pretty funny to watch them just stare at him while he paces and whines.

As a general rule, after all this time, Sammy really couldn’t possibly care less about Deer. They stand at full alert, with shields up and phasers at full power, braced for evasive maneuver’s as he ignores them while sniffing for a good place to pee.
The only time that really differed much was when a Doe plopped down pretty much right at the edge of the bushes by the house and decided that would be a good place to have her babies.
Sam was like “WTF! Really, guys?”. and paid very close attention while the babies plopped out, then eventually wobbled to their feet later in the day, before they and mommy tottered off…

Yeah, I guess my family is a definite no on borbs; every few years somebody will go insane and get one, and they always die… 
There’s quite a few things that people just don’t realize about taking care of birds. Things as simple as aroma oils/diffusers, febreeze, houseplants, certain fruits/veggies, even overheating a teflon pan can poison them.

Apparently the whole world is a coalmine to them…

We had a budgie once, a very affectionate bird. Unfortunately our golden retriever mauled it and it did not survive. We loved that damn bird, she/he(?) was very interactive with us and the kids.

Well, the gif works in the preview…why does it not appear in the post?
Yesterday we had to take my old mate to the vet for one last time. He was nearly 13 so had a pretty good innings for a large dog. Doesn’t make it any easier though and the first time in over 30 years we haven’t had a dog in the house.
It has never felt so empty.
RIP Juma

Damn it Harry, sorry to hear about your loss. Wish it was not so hurtful to lose a pet, but it does.
