Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 @shaaark Exactly as you were typing that? I'd let the dogs out, for a piss. Now, I have two 'Pit Whippets' who, of course, shriek like fukking banshee's. Then, I have the big thing. Built like a lion with a grizzly bears head. All three have gone straight out the door and crashed against the gate. Screaming and shouting. Of course, I knew what it must be. So I allowed only the outer edge of the beam to show ..... Yes! Two little, yellow marbles! Right where I put the food! Had a piss of my own. Ignoring the cacophony. Another gentle shine: Marbles still there! So; Door opens. Light floods out. Great gust of dog scent. Crashing sound like a door slamming in hell. Rolling thunder, backed by hysterical screaming? And " Fox Fox ", the vixen, is bare Yards away. Smacking her chops as she gets a good refill! Like; " 'Sup, Dogs? ". No Fukks Given! (Don't worry that I'm desensitising her to dogs, by the way. I've Always had dogs here. Probably many years before the foxes moved in. There are no free ranging dogs here. They'd be shot. No one runs foxes here. The only threat to foxes is the road. Cowboys and cars. That's why I Never do anything that could acclimatise them to a Lamp.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken's Deputy 4,462 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, iworkwhippets said: I'm waiting for some footage come on Ken Okay. I've had a good rummage through my clips. Getting into my cups by now. So, some shit I might have initially felt, " Fukk it! I'll lash this up! " I've slowly come to realise I might not want relaying across the entire world, for ever more. In short? We'll keep ME out of the picture, shall we? But, here's a picture of the pregnant " Fox Fox ", the vixen. I base this conclusion on the date, and the rather 'straight lined' belly. Figured there's more to That waist line than just good living. Now, here's Fox Fox, the vixen. Sitting quietly snacking on some left over bird seed, while she waits for Dinner Time: Note, now how, as soon as I've come out and put the food down - I characteristically tap the bowls as I do this - another fox hurries down the track. But keeps its distance once it gets there. I suspect, because of the distance back up the track it came in from? This is not " Dogger ", her mate. But, perhaps one the the foxes who live in the Far Trees? Finally; You tell me! We have 'A Fox' feasting. Two others right up close, yet not seemingly trying to interfere. (Sorry about the terrible quality. It varies with light conditions and settings. An eternal experiment or a lottery) Then, 35 - 45 seconds, a Fourth fox comes in from the close left. That's where 'My' foxes come from. 'Far Trees' foxes come in from way further back up the track. Edited March 25, 2021 by Ken's Deputy Forgot the last clip! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
