Description
Our neighborhood has been in a dither! You see a mother fox has decided to raise her kits in our shed...actually she started off in our neighbors shed with three kits. Now they live underneath our shed and I have only seen two. They are so cute!!! We are however a little concerned because the mother fox has pursued our Golden Retriever Genevieve in a very casual way. You see, our shed in the back yard, very private and secure and that is where Genevieve does her morning business. The other morning, Genevieve saw the mama fox and chased after her. Realizing that the fox would not run away, Genevieve stopped running..I mean after all, what's the point in running after something that won't run. Genevieve is a very logical dog. She turned around and went about her business and the fox started walking toward Genevieve. My husband Mike yelled at the fox and she did turn away, but didn't leave the shed. Naturally, she wouldn't do such a thing because her kits were under the shed. Since that morning, we haven't let Genevieve out into the back yard. But this afternoon, the two kits came out, I grabbed my camera with telephoto lens and took this classic, adorable scene of the two looking straight at my camera. I have a few more, but this one is definitely my favorite. They are adorable, but I am ready to grow up and move on to greener pastures.

So adorable! We had a fox and her kits camped out under the garage/shed in a summer house we rented when I was 10. My mom, a NYC girl at the time, fed them! The neighbors said she was crazy but whenever we got home after dark we would see their little eyes shining in the
