Over at the Robin Siegismund Farm, Robin and Belle had a little scare the other night, returning from closing the chickens up when hearing this unusual sound like nothing they ever heard before. Looking around for the source, it was a doe deer pawing the ground and making the noise. Belle being the brave watchdog told her to leave and she did.
