THE ODDEST STUFF HAPPENS TO ME.

O.K. Caity and I went out early a couple of mornings ago around 5 a.m.  So I am standing around waiting for her to find her perfect spot that does not exist, as usual, and I look up and running at neck breaking speed toward us are what I think are 6 pitbulls without a leash or their owners!  The "business owners" on the corner of my block own pit bulls. They are the kind of owners who are open 24/7, if you get my drift. So I yell, "In the name of Jesus you will get, as I point my red Maglight flashlight at them!"  Well as they get closer & before I get my command out fully, I start to recongnize they are not pitbulls, instead they look like Whippets! Whippets are very docile dogs and would not hurt a flea, so I am much relieved.  But as my eyes adjust better, I recognize they are 3 small deer and 3 adult deer! LOL But, I still am quite concerned, because I have never been charged by deer before in my life, especially since I live smack dab in the city! With my red maglight extended like a rod, I am speechless, however, the deer stop immediately! I'm like, alright Jesus, thanks for letting me borow You mighty name! Except all 8 of us are having a Mexican stand off and nobody is moving!  So I get my biblical "i's" dotted and "t's" crossed and I then say, "You will not disobey."  Next, the funniest thing happens, they look around at each other as though conferring as a group, then take off running across the street, and down my dad's empty lot! 

With my red Maglight flashlight still extended and pointed in the direction they were to go, I am completely speechless, no words forthcoming! Caity and I just stand there in awe!  

I'll have to tell you later about the falcon/hawk I found perched on my mailbox facing my front door one day last month. LOL That was an odd experience as well! LOL
