Mimi-
I've really read up on foxes, and I think I could handle the odour, but it's the idea that they'd need so much more space (and that I don't see myself leaving Oregon any time soon) Maybe I can get a special license from the state.... I always used fox pee cover scent for deer hunting, and it was never anywhere near as offensive as anything else.

Regina- I love your bunny. The head tilt makes him unique, I think. Glad the infection is in remission as of now. You've got to be careful- they can come back pretty easily. (My parents have a cat that has recurrent ear infections- nasty ones. She's deaf as a result. )

Annie- I'm a believer in Sanskrit names- they bestow their energy on anyone who speaks and hears them. My suggestion then is Bandhu- it translates into "Friend"
