Where the Antelope Play

We have cousins who have an antelope.  How many people can say that?  Michael is occasionally asked to foster orphaned wild animals, either until they can be released back into the wild or sent elsewhere.  The antelope currently in their care is headed for a zoo, not the wild, because she has become a bit too tame.  They call her Bullet and she thinks Michael is her mom.  She follows him around and even if she wanders a bit to investigate something on the ground or nibble on a bush, she runs right back to him.

The children thought Bullet was wonderful.  They followed her around as she followed Michael, and wanted to pet her.  She was only slightly skittish and they were both able to pet her.  Wonderful to be able to play with the antelope.

 

Isn't this a great picture of Brandt peering around Michael's bum to see the antelope?
