Gracie the deer

Sending Valentine kisses to all my deer friends 🥰

I don’t dress up often but when I do it’s for a special occasion!

It's Gracie's 10th birthday!👑🦌🎉

Join us today for a family friendly event where kids help plant seeds in the children's garden. There will be a zoo demonstration at 10AM and 12PM with our zoo keeper, Chris. Come Grow With Us at Magnolia Plantation!

Do you need a break from the news? Do you need some cheering up? Come see me!! I’m giving away kisses and I’ll even “clean” your camera lens with my nose 😁

My annoyed look.....who can guess why?

Hurry up hooman, get those goodies out of the bag! Oh never mind, I’ll get them myself!

Looking pretty in my winter coat ❤️

I’m so glad I’m more graceful than my forest friend 😂

Having a bad day? Come see me! I’ll make it all better with deer kisses ❤️

Yes, I am giving a snarky look. Somebody called me a mean word. 😢 If you must comment on my weight I am not that ugly word (hint it starts with f and rhymes with cat), I am fluffy! A little extra ❤️ would make me feel better. 😊

It’s a lazy Saturday for me. If you come find me I’ll give you deer kisses. ❤️

Sometimes I like to play hide and seek, but my true friends always know where to find me ❤️

I’m so glad my people recognize me for the queen I am! The other deer eat their treats out of a bowl on the ground but not me! My people hold my treats while I eat. 😁 Happy 8th birthday to me!!

“I’m not making this up but the deer ate our ticket! I had to pry it out of her mouth!” - an amused guest

Yep, I’ll eat your tickets and go through your purse! I’m a nosy girl! 😁

It takes many tries to get my picture so here are some from the cutting room floor!

I have 14 new baby siblings! This little girl is a Brahma chicken. She’s cute but I’m still cuter! 😁

🎶 I see you when you’re walking, I know that you have treats! 🎶. And I KNOW they’re for me!

Gracie’s Christmas checklist:
Stay out of mischief
Carrots for Rudolph ✔️
Reindeer antlers ✔️

“What do you mean you have no more goodies for me? Why did you have to give some of MY lettuce to those mean old peacocks and turkey?!?!” Gracie is pouting and needs some extra love!

What is the best part of Spring for you? For me, it’s all of the extra people to pet and love me! 😁

I love everyone but I really love teachers who bring their students to visit me! I’m always sure to thank them properly ❤️

Who has written their letter to Santa? I did! I had some things to explain.... I hope he likes it 😳

I can't believe I have been here for 6 amazing years! Since I was an adorable fawn I have gotten into wash buckets, been the reason for new fencing around decorative bushes, taken things from purses, stolen countless green stickers from shirts, and have caused some gray hairs on those who live and care for me with my antics! I'm blessed to be so loved by all of you!

🎼 Happy birthday to me!! Happy birthday to me!! Happy birthday dear Gracie, happy birthday to me!! 🎼 🎉🎊. I'm 6 years old today and I LOVED my special cake and bag of carrots!! 💕 I feel so loved! 💕

All I want for Christmas is for my friends to be happy, healthy, and loved! And if you need a little extra love just come visit me!!

Can you believe this is the five year anniversary of Gracie's arrival to the zoo & nature center?!

I know those footsteps....I know that container....my friend brought me birthday goodies!!!!
