Lesson Number Five: The Dropping Doe

Hello ladies,

I was inspired for my next lesson by a comment I received today. I quote...

"Pancake Woman-

Thank you for your deer comments (ha pun intended!) They have helped guide me in the right direction. However....I need your help. What does one do when the perfect hunter has his gun ready to go as I am rustling in the leaves pretending not to notice that he is about to shot me, but when he pulls the trigger, there is no bullet. What do I do? Do I run? Do I continue frolicking (this I am afraid would be too obvious). Is it ok for me to run away and leave droppings behind so he can find me again once he has reloaded? Or is this highly un-doe-like?

Sincerely,
Dropping Doe"

I never thought of this. No bullet! Nervous doe. Frolick? Run? Dropping doe. Oh dear.

Alright Dropping Doe (and anybody else who may be asking the same questions), you have nothing to worry about. Firstly, if no bullet is ejected it can only mean one thing...He is not your hunter. He thought he was yours, and you thought you were his. But. Destiny stopped the bullet. Reaction?

Continue to walk in the direction you were walking.

Don't add any extra swing into your step, no frolicking, no running away, and don't...drop anything. If it can be helped. I'm afraid that even if you were convinced he was still your hunter and you left some droppings, that would do anything but encourage his pursuit. A whole nother level of tracking I'm not quite sure these kind of hunters are prepared to do...

Ladies, these are the questions I never want you to be afraid to ask! Thank you dear Doe, for asking.

No dropping...or dripping. Just frolicking and skipping! I will talk of Meadow Time in my next post.

Your fellow leaf rustler,
The Pancake Woman
