CANADA — Remember when you were a kid how adults would always tell you to not jump in puddles?
But you never listened. Good puddles are just screaming to be jumped in, so you had to do it. It was only right. And then you (and everyone around you) were covered in water for the rest of the day, but it didn't matter. Those few seconds of pure puddle-jumping joy were worth it.
I'm sure that's how these deer felt after they came across a huge puddle in a backyard in Alberta, Canada, Saturday.
Yesterday's Have You Seen This?
According to the woman who posted the video, a recent rainstorm caused a pond-sized puddle to pop up in her yard, and since she had recently moved from the country to the suburbs, she was pretty surprised to see these new "neighbors" enjoying the puddle.
In the video she recorded, you can see the deer frolic around, running through the water as if they are in heaven. It's a delightful, short little video, and if you need something nice to watch today, these deer living their absolute best lives is definitely it.
