Yeah, Nature is much about eating and being eaten. Most prey stays  
quiet and most predators use stealth. Ah, but then there is, um,  
reproduction. Nothing quite like a couple bucks proving whose  
territory it really is, and they aren't about the browse.

One item of interest: Benny, the Aussie, who also sleeps on the  
porch, did not make a sound. This says to me that he was either  
scared or as curious as I and just didn't know how to react. Or maybe  
like his master, it takes a while to come out of deep sleep and get  
the gray stuff moving.
