This little fox was just hanging out in our backyard...lounging. He sat there for awhile & Ava & I were able to go check him out and all he did was lift his head. We came back in to call animal control to come get him and when Darren went back out, the fox started acting a bit strange...like hissing at him and then running around in circles almost chasing it's tail.
An hour and a half later the animal control lady (yes lady--I was surprised!) came to get him. She had never caught a fox before and had Darren help her hold her flashlight since it was pitch black by this time. They checked him for rabies and he was negative.
Apparently our house enjoys visitors such as snakes, armadillos (that pesky pest - we never caught him), raccoons and the occasional rat (totally disgusting and you would rather not hear about the rat nest complete with baby rats--still gives me the creeps).
Ava was very concerned about this fox and kept asking about him and what happened to him. We had to assure her that "a nice lady came to take care of him"...not sure what that actually means but at least he won't be visiting (and scaring) us anytime soon.
