OK It's Official

Fox cubs are the cutest thing in the world!

Seriously now the runt of the litter has shown themselves we have three. So far the mayhem they have caused includes tearing down a wire fence, damaging brick work and killing everything shiny or brush like within a 500 mile radius including the oil filter from a Nissan Micra. However they're boundless innocence and enthusiasm makes it impossible for me to be angry at them. Instead all I want to do is send the mother flowers and give her a big hug to congratulate her on her wonderful offspring no matter how stupid and a little bit gay that sounds. So instead I've hidden all the pesticides and given them a trough of water which is probably even worse.

For my father's part he has at least stopped referring to the vixen as a "he." Seriously you would think someone who spent a lot of his early life on a farm and kept horses would have a greater understanding of the animal kingdom.
