Foxes

Another time I was walking in this same location with a friend and we saw a pair of red foxes. They were healthy and sleek looking. Thankfully neither we nor the foxes seemed to be downwind of each other because we had two dogs and the foxes and the dogs seemed to be oblivious of each other. I had never seen any wild foxes in this part of Idaho. They were just sauntering along as if they were in no danger at all, from any source. The really amazing thing is that this area, while it appears to be very wild, is ringed with houses and bordered by the freeway. Many of the households have dogs. I hope they were wise enough to leave the area at nightfall.
