a breeding pair of little foxes who live in the area, I think under an evergreen tree two doors down the street. I see them every couple of days, they’re opportunists but they also seem to like our backyard (Sort of a jungle, at present). Not as big as a big housecat, and with hella long legs, they move fast and these have not fully shed their winter coats (Good thing for them!!)

We have heard them in the night. Their bark sounds like a woman finding a big spider in her underwear drawer.

I’d rather they not come to any harm. We had one many years back when Cooney was among the living, and he and Cooney would go to war over property rights- that or he wanted to mate with cooney, who was himself a tom.

If I had chickens or rabbits, I would shoot a fox or a coyote in a minute, but so long as I don’t have any livestock to protect, I think of them as just other predators in the chain. And I leave them alone. Think of it as professional courtesy.
