Thank you. I did enjoy it. The mention that albino deer (like white bunnies and white cats) have pink ears and pink noses suddenly reminded me that in the Mabinogion, when a this-world hunter in the woods sees a deer or a dog which is white with *red* ears, that animal came from a magical world (Annwn in the Mabinogion, Faerie in some other stories), and interacting with it begins the hunter's magical adventure. Red, pink, could be the same thing.
