Mother Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hey, I resemble that song, Gramma got run over by a reindeer. That actually happened to me and my kids sang that song incessantly.... As pretty as a Christmas card, anyone else have snow? Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer is right everyone! Oh Mother, what an experience with the deer. We had one for a pet for 5 years and know how sharp those hooves are. He was so tame and friendly BUT still a wild animal so we didn't go in with him. We had a neat way of feeding him in the building and then locking him in at night or he would be gone. We didn't have good enough fences to keep him in at night during mating season. So we'd lock him up and then let him out during the day and he was content. People all over the county knew of Willie and would bring him apples or anything salty. He was a sweetie! Yep, it's been snowing here off and on for the last 3 days. Thankfully not real heavy. Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 If you'd like to see the snow in our "backyard" go to http://galen44.tripod.com/ The picture on the left is a live cam.
