A couple of deer decided to take refuge in the small patch of woods behind Dayton Road this summer. They keep walking up to the back fence and staring at us. I think they're hungry. I threw an apple over the fence and some carrots (shh - don't tell Jen, she's been wondering where her apples have been disappearing to!). Yesterday the buck was up staring through the fence. Today daisy ran all the way out to it, but didn't see it. The deer didn't move, nor was she freaked out when Daisy started barking at the neighbors. Hopefully by the end of summer, we'll be able to feed them through the back fence, or maybe invite them into the garage for a beer. :)
May I have permission to bowhunt back there this fall?
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome that you have deer in your backyard like that. I'm jealous. All I have are children and smokers in my "backyard" (i.e. parking lot). Thanks so much for the Coreys recap, it's much appreciated! And hilarious! I think you just saved me from wasting a lot of time...and possibly brain cells.
ReplyDeleteI think eventually we'll have to rescue that deer. She's stuck in a fenced in area. We're fattening her up, but not for the kill, just for fun. I fed her some beer grains last week and she loved them.
ReplyDeleteThis hoax is a tragedy. The Rosenblats have hurt Jews all over and given support to those who deny the holocaust. I don't understand why Atlantic Pictures is still proceeding to make a film based on a lie. I also don't understand how Oprah could have publicized this story, especially after James Frey and given that many bloggers like Deborah Lipstadt said in 2007 that the Rosenblat's story couldn't be true.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many other worthwhile projects based on genuine love stories from the Holocaust. My favorite is the one about Dina Gottliebova Babbitt - the beautiful young art student who painted Snow White and the Seven Dwarves on the children's barracks at Auschwitz. This painting became the reason Dina and her Mother survived Auschwitz. After the end of the war, Dina applied for an art job in Paris. Unbeknownst to Dina, her interviewer was the lead animator on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. They fell in love and got married. Now that's a romantic love story! I also admire Dina for her tremendous courage to paint the mural in the first place. Painting the mural for the children caused her to be taken to Dr. Mengele, the Angel of Death. She thought she was going to be gassed, but bravely she stood up to Mengele and he made her his portrait painter, saving herself and her mother from the gas chamber.
Also, Dina's story has been verified as true. Some of the paintings she did for Mengele in Auschwitz survived the war and are at the Auschwitz Birkenau Museum. The story of her painting the mural of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on the children's barrack has been corroborated by many other Auschwitz prisoners, and of course her love and marriage to the animator of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the Disney movie after the war in Paris is also documented.
Why wasn't the Rosenblatt's story checked out before it was published and picked up to have the movie made?? I would like to see true and wonderful stories like Dina's be publicized, not these hoax tales that destroy credibility and trust.
