I'm sorry, but I haven't been very appreciative of Ms. Foxy. Ms. Foxy decided to have her pups/kits, under one of my sheds (the groundhogs had already conveniently made the hole under, though there (was) at least 2" to 4" gaps all the way around. Ms. Foxy had her pups early in the year, probably like March. We had a cold spring that year, 2016, and I didn't realize it until one day I looked out my kitchen window and saw something. Before I knew it I had pups scrambling two feet from my feet to get back under my shed, and Ms. Foxy turned-head growling as she ran off.
They had *almost* killed many plants, including expensive clematis, some daylilies, bottle-brush plant (I can't think of the regular name for it, and a couple others that the names are evading my mind. I was very upset. She had 4 pups, and they all laid on the emerging growth, as well as digging like dogs do. Caused me a lot of extra work.
I love Fox-ies, but in someone else's yard-garden or under their shed, please!
