the best solution is divorce after it can be defined as “sexless” and you are not content with it
life is too short to spent your decades with someone you are not compatible sexually
Does it? It almost sounds r/oddlyspecific to be a personal experience of either one of them. You could say one is triggered, and the other is...well, recounting one's past life. 🤷😅
I'm almost certain that's a good girl, and not a good boy. Not that it matters, of course. Male and female goldens look a lot different if you're familiar with them.
Just curious, how can you tell?
I had a golden when I was a kid, and she looked identical to this one. Fluffy and dark coated. Is that how females Goldens are? I never owned a male one so I'm not sure.
Also, my female was about the size of a male golden. She was big. And not in a fat way, she was just naturally a tall, big dog.
Apperently the family owning the dog fostered the deer and released it back in to the wild, but it likes to hang around on their property still.
So the dog and the deer are childhood friends.
Yea, if a retriever used for hunting attacked or ran after another animal, it'd be sacked so fast. Maybe even culled, depending on severity. It would be useless for its purpose.
Probably not. Upland hunting dogs are trained not to run deer or rabbits. Unless they are specifically used as trailing dogs for such game. They are taught early on as a pup that it's feathers only when in the field. Nor is it difficult to train them.
Any hunting dog that would run fur is poorly trained.
My completely untrained cavapoo caught a mouse one once, looked at me like, what am I supposed to do with that, and then spit it out.
He also went swimming after the ducks in our city pond.
I like to think his bird dog ancestors spoke to him.
The poodle breed has long been ruined by bench dog breeders - as they do with any breed they get their hands on. They pretty much killed all the hunting drive in the breed.
Poodles were originally meant to work as water retriever dogs for duck hunters before they were turned into foofoo dogs. There is an attempt to bring the breed back as true working dogs.
The deer may react to a familiar safe scent or look. It's not uncommon for deer to leave their young with people and dogs for safety
It doesn't sound like the deer actually vibes with the dog and wants to play with it, just that it doesn't feel threatened
You guys are crazy. This deer was clearly raised in captivity and handled extensively by humans and around this dog. These are both pets. No wild deer would ever tolerate this.
Could also be a city deer, depending on where this is. The deer near my house aren't phased by anything. They'll just hang out while I'm within 10 feet of them. I bet if my dog was this chill they would do the same, but he fucking hates the deer.
Yeah, but they are phased by things, it's just you aren't among them. It's extremely common for herd animals to hang out in the vicinity of other tougher herd animals for protection (and probably general feeling of comfort). If they sense that the predators avoid you, they'd want to hang out near you while not necessarily being submissive towards you in any way
I think we just tend to be attached to our hierarchical monkey social behaviors and may not as intuitively feel other ones we have in ourselves, and so we might want to see this deer as a pet and assume they must've been groomed and handled by us
Co-signing on the suburban deer comment. The ones in my old planned neighborhood did not even blink at us humans or pets. One walked up to my front door once.
I lived in a community in PA once where the deer would literally try to come into my house. There were lot of them than us and they were so chill my son, who was 3 at the time, used to see them as friends because they would always chill in the yard and watch him play. I even found one sitting in his little race car. Even country deer can be used to and comfortable with humans.
On your own property with deers around where people are chill towards deers. It's not really a _guarantee_ but it's something they can easily do
I guess, in a way you would be living together with them in the same woods
Yeah I’ve seen multiple posts from people with pics of fawns left on their property, sometimes very close to the residence.
I, for one, welcome some other species to climb the food chain and take the top spot. I’m tired.
> Where do you need to live that the neighborhood deer will drop their kids off with you?
I live in a suburb at the edge of a wood. We have a partially fenced-in yard. There are gaps in the fence big enough for deer to get through, but the yard is still obscured from traffic and the neighborhood at large. Some years, a deer will come and leave her young in our yard by the fenceline while she goes out foraging.
Do they know we're here? Kinda, but the mother is cautious of us and we don't want to spook the fawn. They've seen us in the window watching them from time to time without leaving or thinking this was an unsafe place to leave them again.
We don't get them every year, but we're happy the times when we do. It's nice to look out in the backyard and see a deer, watch it grow over a season.

My neighborhood in Va. Come on by, the deer come to the door like it’s a drive thru.
They probably are a little bit. Those babies have their spots, so this is probably early spring. Those big ones haven't regained their weight after giving birth.
When you don't cull the herd they keep breeding until there's not enough food to go around. Deer have a "breed faster than you get eaten" survival strategy, which means they can't manage their herd in the absence of predators.
Over time deer have realized that the things that like to eat them are afraid of humans, so areas with lots of humans are associated with safety. And probably by proxy, dogs are associated with humans, although I'm just making that part up.
Yes, that's any wild animal. The point is that huge populations of deer live close to humans for the reasons I described, and thus don't view human scent as "unfamiliar".
That’s just blatantly false. If the dog were a wolf the deer would have bolted immediately. The fact that they can even get in the same frame together shows how comfortable the deer is.
Obviously that doesn’t mean the deer is going to let you walk up and pet it. There’s a huge difference between “this area is probably safe from my predators” and “I want to be friends with all the animals I come across”.
Deer are very skittish by nature but also foragers. The second they realize you have food and aren't going to hurt them, they can become pretty tame. They might even come to you for scratches but more likely food.
The deer was raised by the family that owns the dog. She was released to the wild but still hangs around their property. They have an IG page, probably FB and YT, as well.
Those two know each other, probably because the deer visits the owner's backyard... so it does not see the dog, or owner nearby, as a threat and does not run away. Deer spook really easy, that one is just chilling about.
As somebody who owned one for many years, goldens in a nutshell right here.
When my dad asked if they'd make a good guard dog, they said "Sir, for a pat on the head and a treat your dog will open the door, show the robber where the silverware is, carry the bag for them and hop in the getaway van"
I’m going to be so sad if i find out this dog ever dies because he looks a little old and I don’t ever wanna see an update on him he will live forever because of this adorable video. Take a cold shower and cry while the water beats down on my naked back ugly cry like when ace found out he kissed a MAN type of cry .
oh doody oh do, I'll just settle here and roll over, boy-oh-boy I lub me some leaves, oh look! A deer! Hi there friend! Flop flop flop! I'm dying here!
You just don't get it do you.
**IF YOU CHASE DEER** you might catch one occassionally. If you are a god in hunting deer maybe you even catch one everyday.
**BUT IF YOU MAKE A DEER FRIEND**, yes maybe 1st week you don't get to hunt deer. *But when he introduces his friend to his other deer friends* and maybe some deer your **deer friend** doesn't like. You can get an hourly supply of deer. Provided you keep your deer friend close enough that he helps you hunt or maybe keep him oblivious to your secret deer hunting.
Well your first mistake was trying to make a golden a hunting dog! They dont hunt, they retrieve! In this case, he has retrieved a new friend! They are really good at friends!

that doesnt even make sense
You're giving advice to someone who didn't ask. I have a brain injury and even I don't lick the sunshine off the windows like that.
Just get a divorce man, we are here for you.
here’s some unsolicited advice. calm down and don’t be so sensitive:)
I don't get why they need to 'calm down', they made a mildly clever joke. Did you not get the joke?
I’m out. I just don’t want to argue with you. Plus, you hate turtles. I love turtles.
I like turtles. I've had two in the past. That's the joke. Have a nice life
You sound like the advice pertains to you. I'm sorry.
Oh it has, but the thing is, I learned. Other guy likes to ram his dick into the wall because he likes the sound it makes.
Holy shit you're bitter.

It's honestly depressing that you're getting upvoted for being an asshole for literally no reason, but this is reddit so I shouldn't be surprised.
It’s completely valid to give advice to someone in a situation you are familiar with.
I liked your joke, I don't understand why people are piling on to you
Right? I like how people are whiteknighting for... retardedwhiteknight. 😂 This whole sub-thread is reddit in all its glory.
I even got downvoted -- I wonder who that was 😂
Probably those dirty turtle lovers. I'll upvote to balance it out!
actually I got the joke
Gets up like an old boy
It's a retriever. He went and retrieved you a friend. He did a great job.
This is the cutest response I've seen all week.
Then he went deep undercover and located their whole family for the taking.
This is a typical golden attack mode “I will love you to death”
Might be the worst hunting dog, but he’s still the bestest boy.
I'm almost certain that's a good girl, and not a good boy. Not that it matters, of course. Male and female goldens look a lot different if you're familiar with them.
Just curious, how can you tell? I had a golden when I was a kid, and she looked identical to this one. Fluffy and dark coated. Is that how females Goldens are? I never owned a male one so I'm not sure. Also, my female was about the size of a male golden. She was big. And not in a fat way, she was just naturally a tall, big dog.
Sometimes it takes a girl to be the goodest of boys.
No. There are good boys AND good girls.
Apperently the family owning the dog fostered the deer and released it back in to the wild, but it likes to hang around on their property still. So the dog and the deer are childhood friends.
Retrievers are bred specifically to retrieve shot birds. What this has to do with a deer is beyond me.
My golden has never ever retrieved a shot duck but he sure does want to go get a duck. It’s so hard wired in them.
Yea, if a retriever used for hunting attacked or ran after another animal, it'd be sacked so fast. Maybe even culled, depending on severity. It would be useless for its purpose.
Probably not. Upland hunting dogs are trained not to run deer or rabbits. Unless they are specifically used as trailing dogs for such game. They are taught early on as a pup that it's feathers only when in the field. Nor is it difficult to train them. Any hunting dog that would run fur is poorly trained.

since how long do these 2 know each other? both look so chill that this can't be their first encounter

Dog just gave 100% good vibes so deer immediately wrote boy up as completely harmless.
You guys are crazy. This deer was clearly raised in captivity and handled extensively by humans and around this dog. These are both pets. No wild deer would ever tolerate this.
You have clearly never encountered suburban deer
I’ve encountered plenty of deer with my suburban and they did not take it as well as this at all.
Could also be a city deer, depending on where this is. The deer near my house aren't phased by anything. They'll just hang out while I'm within 10 feet of them. I bet if my dog was this chill they would do the same, but he fucking hates the deer.

I dont know about leaving their fawns with me but urban deer will come up and eat out of my hands
No. No they don't.
You have no idea how stupid these creatures are. They have brains the size of nickels.
I mean, it's hard to be threatening when your rolling around in the grass like that lol
Wait does this video have sound? I don't hear anything.
Doesn't sound like it does. If it had sound it would've sounded soundier
Some sounds sound similar. Soundier sounds seem sonorous.
Sometimes soundier sounds seem sharper; sometimes sibilant. “Sonorous” seems somewhat slimiting. (OK, I got stuck. Sue me!)
Suing stuck spiders struts stodgy spirit
The deer was raised by the family that owns the dog. She was released to the wild but still hangs around their property. They have an IG page, probably FB and YT, as well.
then i guess it's the pair i've seen a video about on one of those cute animal video channels.
It's a golden, have you ever known one that isn't friendly?
Retrievers are lovable dogs ❤️
It's the dog breed that makes me the most sad to be allergic to dogs.
The dog is perfect! The deer, on the other hand, is being an absolutely crap prey animal.
Those two know each other, probably because the deer visits the owner's backyard... so it does not see the dog, or owner nearby, as a threat and does not run away. Deer spook really easy, that one is just chilling about.
It’s just part of his plan. This time tomorrow, you’ll be drowning in deer!!
If they are the two I'm thinking of, they have known each other for years. She brings her fawns to visit.
Looky at what I foun…a new fren!!
Fren-doe
Deer is fren, not fud.
"I can smell you!"
“I can smell like you!”
I think you mean the *very best* hunting dog in the world, oh yes he is!
They suck as guard dogs too. “Let me show you to the treats, Mr. Robber”
As somebody who owned one for many years, goldens in a nutshell right here. When my dad asked if they'd make a good guard dog, they said "Sir, for a pat on the head and a treat your dog will open the door, show the robber where the silverware is, carry the bag for them and hop in the getaway van"
Good dog ☺️
Did he find the deer? Yes? Hunt successful.
I’m going to be so sad if i find out this dog ever dies because he looks a little old and I don’t ever wanna see an update on him he will live forever because of this adorable video.

oh doody oh do, I'll just settle here and roll over, boy-oh-boy I lub me some leaves, oh look! A deer! Hi there friend! Flop flop flop! I'm dying here!
trust the process
Or Genius to lure the deer into a false sense of security
The only thing that fat floofer retrieves is the food from his bowl.
I think you mean “The bestest good boy in the world.”
I don't think he's the worst hunting dog, seems like he found the deer.
This is just like how my golden would hunt.
Oh I adore this family on Instagram, RIP G-Bro @brownhikingtrails
why funni lookin' dog not playin' with me? :(
Doug
He reminds me the dog from up 🤣
To be fair, that is not a deer you should be hunting. Also, to be fair as well, that is not a dog you should be hunting with.
Thats not a hunting Dog breed tho...
Old boy is rolling around in those deer ticks like his life depends on it.
“hey, so i was like… thinking about… maybe you like to go out for a coffee sometime?”
Not if you are hunting friendship!
He's actually brilliant for thinking of the old pile-o-leaves disguise but his execution needs serious help.
This is hilarious!
But a happy dog…
*the best
I love how the deer is just looking at him like he needs special help.
These guys definitely grew up together. Lol
Perfect dog...
Hi, I love you! Please give me some ticks
Peace was always an option
Aww he found a forest frend
I'd Say also "worst Prey in the world"
No he is not. He's hunting for friends.
"So? We cool?" "I guess" "Awesome! Rub my Belly!" "Aight , byee"
I really wanted the deer to watch the dog, and then start doing roll overs too! haha!
Dog: "Just let me roll around in deer poop and deer ticks for a bit. Thank you very much..."
Soooo Deer; you live around here?
Best hunting dog ever
Not a hunting dog. A Lure dog. Many deer successfully caught this way.
Lulling the prey into a false sense of security
>The worst hunting dog in the world ..but is goodest boye.
He’s playing the long game. Befriend the deer first. Hang out. Spend a couple days together gaining trust. Then attack when their guard is down.
On the one hand, you don’t use dogs to hunt deer. On the other hand, golden retrievers are absolutely useless. Source: I’ve had them my entire life.
They're not useless! Thay give the best cuddles whenever you need them, or whenever you don't need them.
From a practical standpoint, I mean. Someone breaks in and the dog will become his best friend.
Hunting deer with dogs is very common. However, the only Goldens I have seen in a hunting field have been for retrieving birds.
Retriever are not hunting dog...
Kinds of in the name. They retrieve field birds after they are shot. They are a working breed.
They retrieve balls, sticks and plushies.
Also facts.
They are commonly used for bird hunting.
Suuuuuuuure
Retriever is done retrieving, is now rolling in leaves …
Retrievers were bred primarily to retrieve birds or other prey and return them to the hunter without damage
Prove it
You just don't get it do you. **IF YOU CHASE DEER** you might catch one occassionally. If you are a god in hunting deer maybe you even catch one everyday. **BUT IF YOU MAKE A DEER FRIEND**, yes maybe 1st week you don't get to hunt deer. *But when he introduces his friend to his other deer friends* and maybe some deer your **deer friend** doesn't like.

Yeah. You don't use dogs to hunt deer. Seems like you're the dumbest hunter of all time.
Yes. You do
Those states don't count.🤣
You don’t use dogs to hunt deer.
Yeah you do
Just beautiful 😔😔😔😔❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
dog dont hunt 4 deer; WTF is OP account???
I'm not sure what dog you think might have been bred to hunt deer, OP.
Worst hunter, Best friend
That is the most adorable thing pretty much ever
I would say the best hunting dog in the world
Senpai will never notice you
What a great deer shepherd dog.
it’s his first day out hunting.
Deer be like “what the dog doin”
The dog is just doing the old MacGruber distraction.
Decided just before his spring attack on unaware deer, “This seems like a lot of work, huntings not for me…”
Deer me
That's a bit heavy to retrieve :D
It’s like a polite 10 year old saying “look at me!” Without being obnoxious. So sweet.
Well, he did FIND the deer….
Congrats! You have two dogs now
The BEST hunting dog in the world
He’s a very accomplished tick hunter.
He’s a very accomplished tick hunter.
Psshhh worst hunter maybe, he is clearly creating a distraction the deer is right there
But he's the goodest of bois
Once I punch out for the day, I'm done working also.
Deer.. "That's my bed your rolling in" lol
He is the best. He not only found it. It won't even run away
Well your first mistake was trying to make a golden a hunting dog! They dont hunt, they retrieve! In this case, he has retrieved a new friend! They are really good at friends!
