Badger Deer #: 60
Name: Leroy
Meaning: He was our neighbor who mowed our lawn and was so nice. he went missing last year and noone has seen him i miss leroy. this guy just looked nice like he was.
Gender: male
Poem/short story: Leroy was your usual rough neck. Meaning he was a hard worker and wasn't afraid to get his claws (or hooves) dirty. He worked part time for a local farmer chasing prairie dogs out of the garden and hauling hay, stuff like that. One hot summer day after work Leroy went down to the river nearby to take a dip and cool off before heading home. While relaxing he saw a flash of blue to his right. He dashed after it wondering what it could be. Leroy was fast and soon caught up to a female badger deer wearing pearls. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disturb your dip." Panted the blue doe. "I usually cool off there in the evenings." Leroy was taken by this Ladies polite apology and fetching blue pelt. "My name is Leroy and if it's ok with you I'd like to escort you to the river mam'. It's mighty hot out and it wouldn't do you any good to get heat stroke." The Blue badger deer blushed. "My name is Mae and I would like that, thank you."
Extra: and thats how Leroy met his beautiful Sweet Lady Mae! <3

Badger Deer #: 61
Name: Canada
Meaning: His color reminded me of a maple leaf ant the emblem of Canada is the maple leaf.
Gender: Male
Poem/short story: Canada walked through the woods, the autumn air bit his nose and the leaves teased him. He swiped a leaf to the ground. Veins were poking through the dying leaf hiding a world all it's own inside. He took a deep breath of the aroma of fall. He childeshy jumped through the leaves laying them crunch beneath him. He rolled in them and when he stood up he had leaves stuck in his pelt. He laughed as he pulled them out and continued his walk.

Badger Deer #:
63. This litter is amazing, Wind Song, and I love it, but 63 was the one that I had to go for <3

Name:
Aiyana (eye-ah-nah)

Meaning:
Aiyana is a Native American name which means 'eternal blossom' or 'forever flowering'. I named this girl Aiyana because she's based on Autumn, and the leaves that appear in autumn are very bright colors. I take those as the flowers. Also, they are there for a month o two, and so remind me that they are not eternally blossoming, but almost so. Also, I thought it was a pretty name.

Gender:
Female. I have two lovely boys at home, and I decided that I needed a female now, to balance things out a bit.

Poem/short story:

(Okay, this is longer than 400 words. I hope that's all right; I got into the story and didn't want to stop writing!)

It was always nice to get outside, I thought to myself, running through the woods near my house. I mean, I have nothing againt being inside on a computer, but even with the mosquitoes, the warm air smelled amazing. Just like the outdoors!

As I ran, I felt as though something was watching me. It's a hard feeling to explain, but just that feeling when the hair on the back of your neck rises, and you feel cold all of a sudden. I slowed down and turned around. There wasn't anything that I could see, but still. There was a rustling in the branches behind me and I spun around again. I tensed up.

And then, I saw a large almost square shaped nose poke out of the bushes, and I relaxed. It was only a Badger Deer! They were one of my favorite animals, and I was lucky enough to live close to their island so that they could easily swim across, being the resilient, hardy creatures that they were. They were really quite friendly, and I had come across two before that had come home with me. Wesley, and Nuage.

This creature was so much different than them, though, that I was astonished. As it poked its way through the bushes, the first thing I noticed was it's bright green eyes, looking at me with curiosity. It had fiery colors, reminding me of the leaves that were now falling form the trees.

I smiled, and slowly stepped towards it. "Hello," I started, softly, "What's your name?" I knew she couldn't answer me, but it was just talk. The badger deer looked warily at me, not meeting my eyes. "It's al right- I'm Thysta." Normally, at this point, the Badger Deer would run away- at least that's what usually happened whenever I saw one. Except for Wesley and Nuage, I got Wesley when he was still a baby and Nuage... well, he's Nuage.

Even though this girl continued to look at me with hesitation, she took a few more steps out into the open. My smile became bigger. I came closer and closer, and she didn't move.

And then I touched her. It was gentle, between her ears. She flinched, huffing out a breath. I watched its mist slowly fade away. I half expected her to turn tails and run, but she didn't. I opened my mouth, beginning to speak, but her ears pricked up, and with a kick, she bounded away, back into the bushes.

There was nothing I could do but continue on my way, and this I did, but I felt regretful and sad. As I started back home, I felt eyes on me again. The same eyes..?

And sure enough, when I stopped, the same Badger Deer poked her head out of the bushes. This time, she was carrying a bright red flower that I recognized as a poppy in her mouth. She walked over to me. She looked less wary.

"Hi, again!" I call out. To my astonishment, she breaks out into a trot and comes over to me quickly. Then, turning

her head to the side, she shoves it against me. She's surprisingly strong, but I know exactly what she wants and I laugh, scratching her on the top of her head where I touched her before. This is a trick that my other Badger Deer play on me.

When I stop, and it's obvious I won't be petting her any more, she turns to face me, and to my absolute astonishment, bends down her front legs until it's almost like a representation of a bow. She looks up at me and florishes the red flower in my direction.

I laugh once, quick and huffy, under my breath, and accept the blossom. The badger deer struggles upright from her position, using momentum to help herself up. I smile and for a second, it seems like she smiles with me, the corners of her mouth pointed up and her eyes crinkled at the edges like people's who smile often are.

I start waking back slowly because I know that sometimes if something good happened it's just best to end like that, with a good thing, but the badger deer follows me. I go faster, and she speeds up her pace. "You want to follow me, don't you?" I muse, more to myself then her. But to my surprise, she nods her head vigorously. "Can you understand what I'm saying?" Another nod.

I was amazed. I never knew wild badger deer could speak our language! Or understand it, at least. "What's you're name?" I ask. The badger deer looks at me strangely and then uses her claws to write in the dust a pretty name that sounds native american in origin. "Aiyana..." I say quietly.

"Would you like to come home with me?"
