Foxes are great. Very intelligent. The foxes near my backyard in BC have a clearly defined threat threshold. Invade it and they vanish. I don't think even a greyhound could catch a fox. Talk about greased lightning!

there has been a "fox" living downtown Lecompton for years. Dorothy Shaner is one foxy lady.
