The Fox and the Hound

This morning, we had a good show put on by our neighbor's dog and a wild fox. I am standing in our Master bathroom looking out into the back yard taking these photos from the window. The dog wanted so bad to chase the fox, but due to the recent snow, had a hard time floundering through the white stuff and only ended up getting tired out. The fox was loving it. He would run away for a short distance, being light enough to stay on top of the snow. When the dog got tired enough to head back toward our house, the fox would follow him, just taunting him into a chase. This went on for a while, until the dog finally gave up and went home.



In the photo below, the fox is making this crying schreechy noise. Very strange. This is the sound we have been hearing during the middle of the night. I thought at the time that is was some sort of cat, such as a bobcat; but today confirmed what we heard was this crazy fox.

That is so cool! I had a weird dream about a fox last night and these woods that were snowy and thick but kind of glowy. Then there was this dog that was taller than people and his head was partially detatched but as he ran it began to heal. It was really bizarre. I know what you are thinking....and yes I still have the craziest dreams. Anyway....I loved the pictures!
