Meet Cary & Mel, twin bucks, and their nanny Dot. Get it “Cary-Mel,” like caramel, like their primary coloring. They arrived about two weeks ago, but Dot has kept them indoors and fairly secluded until the past couple of days. She is introducing them to the rest of the herd slowly and carefully as some of the 1-year-old withers want to be a bit more playful than they can handle right now. Mel is the smaller of the two, with the white blaze on his forehead.
It is probably better that she has kept them inside as our spring weather is more winter like. Yesterday we got about 5″ of new snow and today what hadn’t melted was nicely frozen and crunchy. These guys’ little legs would have had a workout in that much snow.
