The Fox Gets Even Closer

Our local fox friends showed up today. They were looking for cheap auto insurance. Well not really but they were very interested in the truck for some reason. I love when the foxes show up especially when they come so close to the house. This little guy was interested in the cat and the cat didn’t give a hoot about him as he was sunbathing in the driveway and happy to look nonchalantly at the fox.

    Thanks for sharing this lovely photo. We had a family of Foxes living in our back garden once. They are lovely animals and a pleasure to see.

    I couldn’t hear the blood curdling sound that they make, over at the other site. But it’s okay. Not sure if I’d want to actually..
    I heard from a friend that red foxes are quite stinky. Can you smell them from your distance?

    OMgosh, he is so cute! Do they come up to you, or are they pretty wild?

    That fox is so cute. They have been known to steal small pets in our area. I wonder if people know that for sure or if the fox get a bad rap.

    This fox looks so adorable and can I keep it as a pet?

  12. Connie, on October 20th, 2008 at 10:41 am Said:

    Sure looks cute but I don’t think I’d want to get too close! But if your cat wasn’t afraid I guess I shouldn’t be either.

    Great picture, looks pretty content just sitting on the grass.

    there are foxes on my campus, and I am really scare of them!

  16. OSoNY, on October 22nd, 2008 at 2:20 pm Said:

    Jules, they are reasonably wild but get pretty close to the house. If they see we are interested in them, they run off.

  17. Diane Scott, on October 23rd, 2008 at 2:07 pm Said:

    I’ve always loved foxes, what a treat to see one in the flesh! Great photo!

  18. MonaVie, on October 23rd, 2008 at 6:36 pm Said:

    That is a neat picture for sure. We had a fox or a raccoon kill 5 of my sisters chickens last night, but it’s so hard to kill something so cute!

    Great picture. I used to live out in the mountains in California. Foxes are beautiful animals.

  20. Aaron, on October 26th, 2008 at 5:37 am Said:

    What a nice shot, we have a few foxes roaming around parts of the UK but fewer and fewer it seems. Last time I saw a fox was unfortunately by the side of the road having been hit.

    Beautiful!

    What a beauty!

    I love foxes and think they are one of the coolest animals. Unless they get into the hen house.

  23. corrin, on October 27th, 2008 at 5:05 pm Said:

    He’s so pretty. I just want to cuddle him!

  24. Neck lanyards, on October 28th, 2008 at 10:35 am Said:

    He’s a beaut, but aren’t your worried about him eating your cat?

  25. Dee, on October 28th, 2008 at 8:07 pm Said:

    I have never seen a fox, somehow I always thought that they were dangerous. Why is that?

  26. Lexli, on October 31st, 2008 at 1:21 pm Said:

    He’s so beautiful. I’m surprised he’d get so close to you and not run away when seeing you, but he looks pretty young so he’s probably really curious.

    I’ve only seen a fox in nature once or twice, so you’re very lucky to get to see them regularly.

    It’s pretty amazing to me that a fox would come this close to the house and just sit there, watching… Great shot of a cute fox!m :)

  28. Mark, on November 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 am Said:

    That is a beautiful shot of a fox. In our last house we had a family living in our back garden! They are amazing animals.

  29. Sadie, on November 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm Said:

    That’s a pretty fox! I can’t believe he got so close!

    What a cute fox!

    Nice little foxie…

  33. Jennifer, on November 9th, 2008 at 3:25 am Said:

    We have foxes around here too. The cats hate them. They are fast. I just try to stay away from them. That was a good pic of the one you seen, though.

    We have a lot of foxes here in southern Illinois also. Some years you don’t se mush of them and years you see them all the time.

  35. Henrik, on November 24th, 2008 at 11:36 am Said:

    The fox looks so meek and harmless. But I really don’t want seeing them in our backyard because I always have a feeling that the naught fox will chase our pets.

    I love him. We have foxes which walk past our bedroom right in the middle of the day. They’re so brazen, but you’ve got to love them

    For me, foxes are magnificent animals because of the color of their furs. They are often depicted in movies as fierce and wild animals. It’s a pity because I think they are lovable creatures.

    That’s a cute fox. Looks very healthy!

    Though it was incompressible we need to care of our life’s. Though it might get the condition worse we need to do more research on it.

    Till then,

    I love it when people hear “New York” and think the entire state is a big city with no wildlife. We have foxes down here in southern New York too… not to mention large gangs of wild turkeys…
