A mere few of you may remember how last winter I had a cat come knocking at my door

I did get a glimpse of him a few weeks ago, but he gave me the cold shoulder.  Can you blame him(her?)?

Well, this year we are getting visited regularly by a fox!  I love to think of him (yes, him, I've seen him marking the territory!) as just one, but there could be many.  I've seen him trotting on my yard, trotting down the side walk, trotting behind the kids as they walk to school, and most recently trying to get a good look into my niece's car where her two coon hounds were spending the night (Christmas night).


Typical of me, I did not arrive on the scene fast enough, but I did get two shots from the window of the fox looking longingly towards the car with the coon hounds (can't see the car...the car in the pic is a passerby also gawking at the 
lovely fox).  The fox marked its territory and then trotted into my neighbor's back yard. We let the dogs out soon after but they sort of shrugged.

So here are my lame fox photos....quite the lovely bushy tail, don't you think?

Happy fox hunting, tally ho!
