    Don't cave Bikingmom! I love cats, but they don't get along with my bronchial tubes very well. They are very cute little critters, tho, and if I could, I would probably have 3 of them also.
    I love seeing people's pets. Makes me want more and more.... how many dogs do you think I can fit on our acre lot? 50? 100?

    I had a fox that slept in my backyard. He/she (I never did find out) was adorable and hurt nothing. I do not know if they eat mice or not, but we never had a rodent problem. He/she just wanted a warm place to crash and our house came with an outdoor dog house. So for the 6 years we lived there, we "had" a fox.

    Yup, foxes are great mousers. I'm pretty sure Fennecs are illegal to keep in Oregon, anyway, so I can keep dreaming, but they're soooo cute.

    This one adopted us. He/she came and went. I forgot to tell the new owners about him/her.

    we have a few up here you could adopt. don't tell the feds though. i hear they get upset about feeding foxes around here. specially the ones that get fed in the back yard by BF's boss who they don't like anyhow.

    ...can I move in? Maybe a tent in the back yard, or a hole in the ground? Live with the foxies like Grizzly Man and go running (jogging) real slow, ...like I do... help you molest ducks for flu tests, etc etc... it could be a good time!

    ...oh... can I bring DGF too? She'd be upset about the tent/hole thing, but she'd come around... eventually.

    Finally taking the time to figure out how to post photos! I brought home a sweet little kitty who I now believe was abandoned in a wooded hiking area right outside of town. (Put ad in newspaper, called Animal Shelter. No one has claimed him after 5 days.) Well, he's got a home now. Not a name yet - we're still working on that. He'll go into the vet tomorrow for a check-up. I am hoping they can estimate his age. Of course, I don't know if he's had his shots - I hope there's some protocol they can follow for that. I also need to know if he's neutered or not......... if not, I will schedule. The whole family is in love with him already. Incredibly affectionate, loving, well-behaved, yet crazy little guy. So good to have a cat around the house again! So here he is! (I hope.)
