Caught One

Well after the incident with Heinz almost getting attacked by a fox in the back yard...and later that same day the fox showing back up in the yard we decided to get a live trap and try to catch the fox. An hour after Brad set the trap in the back yard we caught a fox...not the one we wanted to catch...we caught a baby fox. Apparently the fox that attached the dog was the momma and that night it took it's little one hunting for some food and the baby went into the trap for the chicken leg we left it. It was kinda sad seeing it in there and the momma stayed in the back yard most of the night until it finally abandoned the baby and probably returned to the rest of its little ones. We hated doing it but we can't go in the back yard or let the kids or dog out there. If we had a bigger yard I wouldn't worry so much about it but it is small and just not safe. The animal control lady (same one from the past 2 times) came and got the baby and said they would make sure it was able to live on it's own and then it would get sent to a nicer place to live....I was glad they didn't just kill it. We set the trap again in hopes to catch the bigger ones...we are hoping more though that last night gave them the hint to stay out of the yard. So the fox saga continues...I have VBS this coming week and will be gone every night, so I hope that Brad doesn't have to worry about it, he will have enought to do with ladybug and school. Butterfly gets to go to VBS with me this year...we are both very excited about that.
