My Foxes

Ok, so they aren't really my foxes my I like to refer to them in that way :)
Here's the story....

Last week I returned home from work around 2 am and saw what I thought was a raccoon staring at me from the neighbors lawn. As I got a little closer I realized it was a fox! He was sooo beautiful!! Anyways, I have seen him a few times since, always around 2-3am and recently I have seen 3 babies. I have been dying to get a picture but it is always so dark out......until this morning!

My dogs were in the window losing their minds about something and when I looked outside there he was! I went to grab my camera and he was gone (of course) but he soon came back with another adult and 1 little one.






They are running all over my neighborhood and I am so worried that they will get hit by a car, a dog will get to them or some jerk will do something to them because they pooped on his lawn. I have read that the #1 complaint about them is the poop and the carcasses they leave behind.
Gosh, they are gorgeous and fun to watch :)
It makes me sad that they are stuck in my neighborhood because some developer probably just bulldozed their other home.

foxes are gorgeous, aren't they? I've been seeing lots of urban foxes lately, and I always wonder how they've adapted to survive in such inhospitable conditions.

That's fantastic-- would love to see the babies.
