A Visitor

We often have birds, deer and squirrels visit our yard, but today we had a small fox. Sami was petrified at first. She thought it was "the big bad wolf."

It was injured, so we were worried that if startled it might pick fight over flight. Therefore, the kids had to stay indoors. We called security but never saw anyone come by. The last we saw of the fox, it crawled under our deck. We are hoping it has since departed.

Wow! Crazy! I agree with Sami..I could see that being the big bad wolf!! Keep us updated on what happens with it!!!

Don't let the pic fool you. That fox is smaller than many dogs. Still, Sami insisted it was the big bad wolf. That is really funny considering we had seen real grey wolves at Busch Gardens the day before.

Awwww, yes! I forgot! How was Busch Gardens?!

So where do you live again??? Hearing about the first stop light and then seeing a picture of a fox in your yard...I wonder. Must be very different than the bay area was. Entertaining I am sure!

We live about 20 miles outside of Charlottesville. We live in a ruralish area, though I think it is far less rural than many others like to think it is. I guess a red fox in the back yard should make me reasses that though. Hmmmm. Very different than the bay area. I did have an oppossum in my back yard in Castro Valley once though.

Awesome picture and cute as long as it not rabid. Very cool for the kids to experience that
