Congratulations on your win. A lovely write. Years ago, I had a dog with fox in her. Each fall her fur would turn redish. Have a blessed day writing away.......................

Thanks, Andrea. I have a difficult time with haiku. I had a screen saver with three baby foxes on it, so I stole that for my idea.

Thanks so much, Bill. Yes, young foxes are very endearing, hardly a picture of what most of them become.

I am glad to hear that, Tom. I have a picture of three of them, looking so pert, on my computer. Very young animals sometimes have not developed their fear of humans. They are so delightful.

Nice one! I had some baby foxes under my shed a few years ago and they were adorable to watch…

They are really cute. They resemble Pomeranians quite a bit.
