Wow, so neat! We are so happy you got to see the does! And when Patch thinks he wants to try his luck outdoors, remind him of those coyote howls, okay? I was very happy, when we had our first real snow of the season to realize that Kini - or some relative - still lives in our yard, as there were definite bunny prints going to the water dish I set out for the birds and critters, and then back away! He may have been drinking from it all along, just not when we were looking!
