Really enjoyed this Clive. Great writing. I love, ‘ a creamy frothy tail’ ‘ caramel’. You have described the fox perfectly. They certainly are getting more brave now and you see them more than ever out and about during the day searching for food. When my darling dad was a boy, he had a fox that frequented so much he became a pet and they went out for walks together! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you :):)

What a great story about your dad and "his" fox. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, Christina.

I rather like the image you created of the fox--quick...frothy tail. I assume the fox was the one opening the door...clever indeed. have a wonderful evening, Sara

Yes, where I used to work, on a night shift, foxes would come to the windows that went down to the floor and look in at us, getting too brave, we would say they'll knock on the door soon.. thanks for reading
