So, uh, I'll be honest, this is the first time parsing the pun has ever come up in the several years I've been using "professional deer" as a tagline: it should probably actually be "deer professional," insofar as I'm a member of a professional regulatory body and unrelatedly a deer, but that sounds less funny? 😅
That said, it's a bit of a thing, in my experience? Deer as "forest puppy" and what have you, not that I'm especially puppy myself (compared, e.g., to my shark girlfriend @bishoparrow who is very much rubber sea puppy.) As I used to keep pinned to my Twitter, my fursona is a deer mostly because I, too, am a big shy hungry dumbass with occasional moments of ethereal grace. (Plus I just enjoy the obvious transfem coding of antlers on a doe.)
Anyway, just have fun with it? Fursona characteristics should be fun, not prescriptive!
