Sommer Gardens / Thursday, January 31, 2008 / Categories: Garden Pests, Ramblings Not again..... That's what crossed my mind Sunday morning when I stumbled upon another downed fox in my yard. I heard the ruckus during the night, but had no idea my dog Inga was battling with another fox. I assumed she was harassing my resident armadillos that frequently rummage through my yard at night. There must be some deep hatred for foxes embedded in her genes. What was really strange this time around is that when I moved the fox's head to get a better view, Inga ran up and gave me a puzzled look and then proceeded to use her nose to push dirt over the fox's head. It was really bizarre, she would make 4 or 5 sweeps with her nose, then pat the dirt down on the head, and then proceed to sweep more dirt over it. Eventually the head was completely covered and she dropped back about 20 feet and sat down staring at the fox. Later that morning I distracted Inga with her feeding and then dug a hole and buried the fox. Of course I planted a plant on top of it as i do for all animals I bury. How many days till Spring? Wow, where did the past six months go??? Print Rate this article: No rating 8685 Tags:foxingasommer gardens
