The past few nights I have driven by the gate of our subdivision and I've seen a young family; a mother fox and her two pups. These two little ones aren't much bigger than my small house cat, and the mother is the size of a small labrador. I go to the gate every night to check and see if they're there and sure enough, there they are!

The two pups have two very different personalities. One is definately more bold, and will get within three feet of you. He will yap at a stationary car and try to get it to play. The other is definately more close with Mom. He will go with his brother to play but only on very rare occasion and he will never get close to you. He's more into sitting on his haunches with Mom and nursing.

I don't know why I felt compelled to write about these guys, but I find that they're on my mind a lot. That's all.
