My neighbor, 2 houses down just confirmed with pictures that she has a big mama fox with her 3 cubs living under her shed!!! My dogs have been going nuts on our walks sniffing and running around in circles lately. Well, now we know why as my neighbor has seen the fox running from my yard to hers. I have been finding fox poo in our driveway and in front of our yard. I couldn't figure out what it was from as I have found deer poo and other dog poo around.
Hot Rod and Maggie May have been very wary as we start our walks, especially in the mornings. Sometimes they do not want to go on the walks. I guess they are smelling the foxes scent much stronger then. |
I've seen two foxes now out in mid-day at my dads place on the Eastern Shore. Looked like it had mange and probably was infected with rabies. At first I thought it was a loose dog running through the farm fields behind my dads house (all the farmers dogs run loose) but looking harder, I couldn't believe it was a fox! That's the second one that's been around during the day. We are always more cautious when letting the pups in the fence now.
