On Surreal Sunday the deer go shopping. This gift shop at the Horsetooth Inn and RV Park in Fort Collins, CO was recently visited by a small group of deer, including a young doe who strolled right in and began browsing.
“It was hilarious,” Lori told The Dodo. “She was looking at the sunglasses and the chips. I was laughing so hard.”
Eventually Lori was able to lure the doe out of the store, but she returned for a second visit a short while later.
“About 30 minutes later, here comes the deer again with her whole family. They were just looking in the doorway like, ‘Can we come in too?’ I said, No! It was so funny.”
Lori did eventually manage to lure the inquisitive family of deer away from her shop, but not until she took these delightful photos with her phone.
1. THANK YOU FOR TAGGING ME I HAVE TO CALL LORI FOR CHRISTMAS.
2. I go hiking out there with the doggos (Well, from one side of the state park up to the store for lunch) sometimes and YES, the deer are extremely human-acclimated and very curious. I worry, honestly that they’re going to be poisoned by some unkind soul or hit by cars.
Arwen and Charlie have much fun dragging me up and down the hills after the deer. and rabbits. and turkeys. and ducks. They think it’s a buffet with exercise options.
