It makes you wonder why deer would enjoy eating all those thorns, if I were a deer I`d go for something a bit eaisier to eat. Great blog though. :o)

Labdancer...the deer like the soft new leaves and the roses buds and blooms...they leave the thorns..picky eaters I guess..

Thanks HW...Sofie has been living around the deer here for over 10 years..she is no dummy when it comes to deer...why do you think she was standing on the steps while I was at the fence talking to the deer?...lol...

I had a very long conversation with that deer..it stood blowing steam out it's nostrils and contemplating what I was saying...looking when I pointed at the rose bush and Sofie..I hope it sunk in this time... :o)

He/She do look a bit guilty, Sofi looks a bit apprehensive, i don`t blame
her, after all they are much bigger than her, she did try to look fierce
but, just cannot manage it....She is too sweet. Lets hope the Deer
get fed up and leave your Roses alone Cf... Good Blog.

Lovely blog Catfinch, Sofi knew where she was safe. Just keep on taking to that deer it will get the message eventually!

You tell that deer what's what Cat. It's just cleaning itself and trying to look innocent.....We know that when your back is turned it grows fangs and pointy horns and heads straight for the juiciest rose buds.

Oh boy..has Sofie got you all fooled...she is my real guard dog...Phoebe is not a guard dog at all...has no bark..and contemplates everything...Sofie, barks out warnings and growls.
My Grandfur, Munchie who stays with me 4 days out of the week, however is young and silly and will bark a bug. He was not here on the day of these photos. He is even used to the deer here tho...and will only bark when first sighting them. I have tried to encourage him to bark at them but it seems to be to no avail as they ignore the barking and keep on eating away, and bring their friends...
They graze in this back field often and the dogs are very used to them.

I talk to the deer every time I get a chance about not grazing on the roses...I have put in little posts in my front rose garden area and strung it with fishing line now..I have been told that the deer will back away when they feel it as they do not want to become tangled in it..and has worked well for others.

I just hope I don't see deer walking around with roses petals in their teeth and small posts and fishing line on their ears now...
