Cedar protecting the home front. The deer would take off onto the woods, then come back. Cedar chased her into the woods, I thought she was going to run away, but she turned and charged Cedar, coming frighteningly close before finally making her escape. Cedar is a friendly dog, and just wants to play, but this deer wasn’t playing.
