  • Oooooh! a fox

    I was preparing to go out and meet my son for lunch today. I'd poshed myself up and was filling the handbag i intended taking with me. Purse, keys, phone, glasses. I'd put the phone and the glasses in when there was a terrified screaming coming from the garden.

    I left what i was doing to sort the garden situation out. There was a vixen (obvious by her dugs that she was feeding cubs) under the tunnel caused by a spare fence panel leant against the fence. She couldn't get out one end and my dog was barking at her at the other end. Picked my dog up and put him indoors and she escaped.

    I have a question. She's bigger than my 2 who can't get out of my garden so how did she get in.

    Also, is she the reason my neighbours think it's my dogs poohing in their gardens?

    Just as a by the way, I was so late having dealt with this that I didn't pick up my phone or door key and had to call a friend with a duplicate key to let me in.

    She could have come over a fence, foxes climb very well.

    And yes unless you know what your looking at it could be mistaken for dog poo.

        There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore and who always will. Don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it in your future.

          I've seen a fox come over a 6ft leylandii hedge when chased by neighbour's spaniel.

          Have a vixen and three cubs here but cubs won't wait for me to get camera.

          Here's one from couple of years ago.

            That little fox looks worried,so cute though. I don't have foxes here,there's still a bit of country life around Braintree,they haven't built on it yet. Why don't they improve what we've got & leave the farmlands?

              Because it's cheaper to build on open fields when you take into consideration demolishing costs/time . Currently fighting sh1tty developers who want to build on the farmland that surround us...unfortunately the government want/need more housing and they have opened the floodgate for developers to build on any land if the council hasn't got its housing plan upto date
