Grey Fox Cuteness

I had another adventure with Nan (nan2945) at one of the wildlife rescue centers where she volunteers! I met this sweet little fellow and his Red fox bunk mates among many other delightful critters today! it is so interesting to be able to get this close to wild creatures and just watch them. Each time i go i learn more about them, and am more enamored with nature and it's wonders. Dee, who runs the place nearly single-handedly does such a marvelous job getting and keeping these guys healthy and ready to return to their habitat. Spring time is insanely busy at these places ....SO many injured or orphaned little critters come in here....as well as some rescues that are not wild, thanks to her daughter who is an Animal Control person for a couple different towns. There were adorable puppies, a beautiful German Shepherd, kittens and even "rescued" chickens! ( i brought 4 of them home with me to add to my batch of hens! (Fresh eggs are just amazing!!) The chickens had been likely stolen from a poultry farm and were about to become a student's practical joke....being let loose in a classroom. Thankfully that was busted before it happened, and the chickens were given to Dee, who in turn decided i was worthy of 4 of them, when i told her that i was looking to get a few more!! I was thrilled!!
Granted i would love to have had a Kit Fox....or the adorable little wee small coyote pup (his eyes just melted me!) but both need exotic animal permits to keep....and likely the fox would have been a disaster, altho he may have made a delightful playmate for my 3 cats!! (albeit a rather smelly playmate...they really do smell bad....strong cat pee kinda smell!) They are VERY playful creatures...and have been known to steal dog toys and small kid toys from yards!
We cleaned cages and fed creatures and i got to wander and photograph the critters....including the absolutely teeniest fawn i have ever seen! after that we trucked the chickens home, changed out of grimy clothes and headed to the greenhouses for some flowers....by then it was dinner time and clean up time .....and now that i have played a bit with the shots i took, it is bedtime......i am really tired, and should have been in bed awhile ago!
hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! :) Keep smiling!
