Fox on the Run

It's always slightly alarming to get a phone call in the early morning that a wild animal is loose in our neighborhood. I say only slightly alarming because it's typical one of our husbands is doing something a little wild and crazy around here.

This morning, our next-door neighbor let us know there was a fox milling around between their yard and ours. Hubby tried to capture it right away -- with the camera, that is.

This little guy looks pretty mangy... and cold, too.

My theory is that he heard there were some foxes in our neighborhood and didn't realize 'til he got here that they were women instead of furry animals.

He didn't stick around long. He was out by our mailbox when a dog down the street -- a little dog at that -- frightened him away.

I don't know if he'll be back or not, but we thought it best we keep the garage doors closed when we don't need to use them, just in case he's seeking warmth or food. Or another fox. Rumor has it there is another one running around. Hubby got a picture of that one, too!

Aww, c'mon! I'm laughing WITH you!!
