Urban Foxes
No, mandy and 4bells, this is about dogs.
I've just come back from walking Geordie my border collie and we met a fox strolling along the road in the opposite direction to us. Now we live near a large park and some other green areas such as ravines etc., but this is a well established built up neighbourhood. Geordie, who as ever is off leash, stopped as he does to wait for the traffic to give us a clear crossing and, blow me down, so did the fox across the street. Traffic clears, so I whistle Geordie to cross, and the bloody fox does the same in the opposite direction They totally ignore each other. Gobsmacked. |

That would have been quite a sight to see - quite surreal in fact!!!! Our urban foxes look and act a lot like Coyotes ;) |

Border Collie, see? Enough brains and common sense to understand the futility of chasing lesser animals ;)

Re: Urban Foxes
Postscript:
It was a very pleasant morning today in Richmond Hill, so I was sitting outside on the patio at about 7:45 am having a cup of coffee and a smoke. What I can only presume to be the self-same fox appeared out of the ravine at the bottom of the yard and stretched out luxuriously in the early morning sun. Hmmm, a house guest. (Luckily it's a fairly big yard). |
