LazyDaisy May 2016 10:04am, 26 May 2016 14,295 posts	0 LazyDaisy A couple of deer stories from this morning... Flossie and I were very surprised to see a deer running at great speed across the playing field this morning. We sometimes see deer in the quieter fields but not here. Flossie thought about chasing it for about half a second but then just stood and watched it. Unlike a cairn terrier who, though miles behind, was very determinedly giving chase and ignoring all commands to stop. I was quite amused - BUT After our walk Floss was due at the vets for the 2nd part of her lepto booster. While we were there, a dog-walker came in with a lovely grey whippet in a very sorry state. He and another whippet had chased a deer on the hill, across a busy road. The other whippet had been killed and this one badly injured. I'm very glad Flossie's instinct to chase was so quickly suppressed - by her.

I know Wanda would do exactly the same as those whippets too. It's one of the reasons why I keep her on the lead in certain areas because even a couple of large fields between us and the road may not be enough. However I guess we can never be exactly sure that our dogs won't run into danger when off the lead, however unlikely we may believe that to be.... I hope the drivers involved in that awful incident weren't hurt either
