Fox with a death wish

ronn

Sitting at traffic lights tonight in Ballsbridge a fox ran straight across the road and jumped through railings of the American embassay, the railings are only 3inchs wide max, i was sure the marines were going to smoke him, But no movement must of been the gardai's turn to mind the place,

where's the weirdest place you lot have seen charlie sneeking about,

They're used to be one that used to come by the parents house. It stopped a few times, looking in the front window about eleven at night. There was a fox dead on the main road one day and havnt seen the other fox since.

I saw one this evening crossing the road at about 6.10 still nice and bright couldn't drive the car fast enough at him!!!, are they going pout earlier because of the cold I wonder?

I was driving through Thomastown co. kilkenny last saturday afternoon about 15:00 and my wife said to me, "what kind of dog is that, that the little girl is carrying over there, it looks like a fox"
I had a look and low and behold this kid about 8 years sold was carrying this young fox up in her arms like it was a pet dog.
It was definately a fox so answer me this A:/ Can foxes get so tame as to become a real pet like a family puppy ? and B:/ Does anyone think it was a bit risky letting a young kid carry around what still is a wild animal over her shoulder ? Any thought ???

I've read that foxes cannot be domesticated because they are solitary animals. Dogs apparently see their owners as leaders of their pack.

i dont know how to put links on this etc but there is a video on youtube where a woman has a pet fox and its playing round kitchen and bedroom. . so id say if you got it from a young age it could probably become very domesticated. . .

as reguards the weirdest place to see a fox, think there was a thread on this where someone had a fox terrier chase one round his living room . . ?
