After having two chickens from the Farmer hen, with big glass of his beer seeped from the barrel - Now the fox is "taking it in" with good & hearty nap.
SWELL!!
Tonight, let my dog out...thank God, i have her on 30' leach...she took off running & barking. Low & behold a red fox was walking through our yard and took off so fast. Scared me. Without the long leach, my dog would have taken off chasing her.
I'm furiously looking for the picture I took 2 summers ago of a very pregnant gray fox curled up in my bird bath, sound asleep. She was looking for a cool off spot. 2 months later we saw her 2 kits running around the garden. They're so cute!
It is time to harvest them when their tail starts to droop like that. Some say it is too early, but those have soft foxes. Just make sure to shake it off when you harvest it, to make sure a new one grows next season.

I came home late one afternoon back in the 90s and looked out in my backyard and there was a red fox 6’ up in my fig tree. I always grow enough to share. I left him alone.
My three young foxes come every morning to doze on the slope in my garden. As the shadow moves across the lawn and blocks the sun for them they lazily move a few feet back into the sun. Then they get a drink from my pond and off they go. Such things are a blessing here in the middle of a city.
