As soon as it saw them, it skedaddled pretty fast. Karen and our oldest daughter saw the fox (or a fox very much like the first one) in our yard again a few days later.

Now that you mention it, I have seen others in the open that seemed perfectly healthy too. The first time I saw a red fox I was awestruck by it's beauty and almost forgot to breathe. LOL. Oh, my - yikes about the copperhead. I had to laugh at Opal's comment about the deer knowing she was vegan. A friend of mine has arborvitae shrubs between her and her neighbor's home in a long line separating the properties. The other day, I noticed looking out her window that the last 8 to 10 of them were shaped rather oddly, as if someone had pruned them into perfect phallic symbol shapes. Yes, fine, I'll just say it - they were shaped like penises! When I told my friend she laughed and explained that the deer came and ate away at the shrubs as far up as they could reach, thereby leaving the shrubs in that shape. LOL. Okay, Mike - be prepared for some funky search terms of your own now. ;) Well, I’m glad he looked healthy anyway.

He looked very healthy and appeared to be just passing through. I don't mind the fox in my yard nearly as much as the copperhead that was in the flower bed Karen was working on a couple of days ago. Opal - There are a lot of deer in this area. My brother-in-law and his wife had their vehicles damaged three times in a week from either hitting a deer that ran into the road or a deer running into the road and into the side of their vehicle. I always try to drive slower at night with my high beams on as much as possible. So far, we've been lucky. teeni – I don’t think that the fox was that desperate.

I saw one do something similar; however, he had rabies. The deer where we live come right up to the house and graze in my yard. Heh, they must know that I'm Vegan or something. ;-) That is funny foxes are elusive critters. I saw one do something similar; however, he had rabies.

It's sad in a way that we have given them little else for options though by taking away their habitats. Although I don't want one in my yard or too close to my home, I do admire their beauty.
