Twiddle Me

We've been adopted by foxes

Earlier this summer, my wife spied some unusual "critters" in our back yard (yard is somewhat of a misnomer; it's really a thicket inside a shallow ravine). It turns out that they were a pair of California gray foxes.

A few weeks later, we got to meet the Mama Fox (see prior postings for video).

However, a couple of weeks ago, they got much more friendly; they started showing up on our back deck, and using my chair for a late afternoon snooze. As you can see from the photo, they're quite fearless; the chair is approximately three feet from our back (sliding glass) door, and we like to open the door when the sun is low and run a fan there. When we open the blinds, open the door, and turn on the fan, they'll usually lift their heads and watch, but then immediately go back to sleep.

Ain't they the cutest things ever?
