In the noozpaper today, thare was a report of vishus deers attaking and trying to eet DAWGS. And not just littul dawgs like chiwahwahz, but GINORMOUS dawgs! Here's the report frum the San Fransisko Kronikul:
"Aptos deer attacks: In Aptos on Monterey Bay, two dogs survived attacks last week by large bucks, reports a local veterinarian. Marty Hoenisch, owner of one of the dogs, said his female yellow lab had its shoulder and chest pierced "by the biggest buck I have ever seen in these parts." There's a warning here, with deer entering the rut in California, the bucks fear nothing in their pursuit of mates; all dogs must be kept under control."

I tride to git more informayshun on vishus deer killing and eeting dawgs, and I ran acrost this terryfying artikul frum last yeer as reported by ABC News:
Nov. 1, 2005 — A rash of attacks by male deer has prompted California wildlife officials to warn people to try and keep their distance from the wild animals.
The attacks, two against people and three against neighborhood pets, are most likely fluke incidents, officials say. However, the gorings could also be a sign that as residential areas expand, wild deer are becoming more accustomed to people and less fearful of them.
"What happens is these animals get more comfortable around people and people start to think of them like Bambi and often don't realize they can be dangerous," said Steve Martarano of the California Department of Fish and Game.
The male deer that attacked Ron Dudek, 73, on Sept. 25 as he was picking tomatoes in his garden was likely caught by surprise, says Martarano. The 6-foot-tall buck charged out of a patch of shrubbery and gored Dudek in the face before running off. Dudek was rushed to the hospital where he received 220 stitches for the wounds. Three weeks later he died from a pulmonary blood clot resulting from the encounter.
In another attack further north in the state, a couple in Covelo were attacked while watering a friend's vegetable garden. Martarano says the woman was gored in the arm after the animal had pinned the man to the ground with its antlers. When the woman tried to scare off the animal with a piece of plywood, she was gored in the arm. The man was shaken, but not hurt.
And in Orinda, male deer have attacked neighborhood dogs, killing one and seriously wounding another.
"We've never had any problems with our many local deer before," said Dee Pearce, whose 10-year-old dog Kermit, an afghan-golden mix, was killed by a buck that gored the dog in the head. "This seems to be an odd year around here."
Pearce says her dog did not bark before or during the encounter with the deer. And three hours after the deer gored her dog, it gored another dog, an elderly black Labrador retriever that lives across the street from Pearce. That dog survived. Later, the buck faced off with a third dog in the neighborhood, a Jack Russell terrier.
"I saw the buck put its head down like he was about to attack him," said Louis Pimentel, owner of the terrier, Willie. "So I put my camera down and took my dog inside."
I used the Google to pull up a map and fownd owt that Orinda is just on the other side of the big forest frum me. I think we need to move!

We have vishus deer in our nayburhood too! The deer were trying to eat my dad's car. Dad won't let us outside because of them. I say we capture them all and eat them. We're doing our part to gradually eliminate them from the world.. through Natural Balance Venison and Green Peas. *giggle*
The other nite win the Food Lady was coming home frum werk, SIX vishus deer blokt the rode so she coodn't pass by with her bloo masheen. She must have bin terryfide. So they stood thare, eyeing her hungrily, and then in an instant, they bolted off --- no dowt they saw a tender joosy yung cat and ran off to try and skewer it. The Food Lady didn't stik arownd to see whut happend to the cat.
Okay, now we're scared. The Target where the vishus deer came to Christmas shop? (http://keyetv.com/watercooler/local_story_313163750.html ) ...THAT is where our Food Lady buys our kitty litter! What should we do?
OUr mommy was watching that Regis and Kelly show today. They had A VISHUS DEER! We were so skared we ran away. it drank out of that kelly lady's cup! What was she thinking?! She shoula ran away!
Even though we are supposed to fear the vishus deer, I was glad to see that the deer who got the plastic pumpkin on his head is okay. They plastic pumpkin is no longer on his head. I agree with you Skeezix - he was trying to hide his identity on Halloween and went trick or treating as a pumpkin. I wonder how many young, juicy cats were fooled by his disguise?
