I do see foxes here...more during the season for raising kits and such. But they don't bring the little ones during the day...those will come when they're older. I was a bit uneasy about one particular fox this year...first time a fox started hanging out under my shed...this behavior wasn't normal. It was around too much and foxes don't do that. Didn't look very healthy. After a while of this, one day I heard an odd sound while near the shed and looked up on the back driveway (upper driveway). Then I realized the fox had made that very odd sound again, a hoarse barking-like sound. Normally foxes are quiet. That was when I realized it was sick. Never saw it after that day. Don't know...I worried about Rabies, but don't know what it was. There are other animal diseases, and it did seem to have been ill for at least a few weeks.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
