Tonight I was down here on the computer when I heard the garage door slam shut and mom SHRIEKING at me to hurry quick. I ran upstairs as fast as I could - mom was ghost white and clutching her hands between her legs in a nervous panic. We started laughing/screaming as she described what she had seen.
She was cleaning up the kitchen when she heard a faint "banging" (her words) sound coming from the corner in the garage. Here is her version:
"I looked out. I saw nothing at first. And continued cleaning the kitchen. I heard the bang start up again. Again, I opened the garage door and leaned to see behind the freezer and SCREAMED WITH HORROR WHEN I SAW A DEER HEAD WITH HUGE LARGE ANTLERS STRUGGLING TO FREE ITSELF FROM THE DOG DOOR!!!!!!!!!!"
When she was screaming to me the story I could not decide if I should laugh or run with terror... I ran into the living room and told her to call 9-1-1 because I was going to pass out. We called the Dean's (our hunter/farmer neighbors) and told them we had a deer trapped in our doggie door. They were on their way over, assuring us they had two deer tags and that they would take care of it.
By then we got the nerve to flick on the back porch to the yard to see the deer's trashing back end. To our surprise, we saw ..... RILEY'S back end. "Hmmmm. Deer in the front, dog in the back? Puzzled and concerned because the neighbors are on their way over with a shotgun!" We just screamed!
Well, short story longer.......this is what she saw.
Riley had stolen the remains of this poor deer from some hunter's house and dragged it all the way home. The gate was closed and she was trying to get it to the back yard (hence her trashing body trying to squeeze it through the door from the back yard). WOW WE LAUGHED REALLY HARD
