Foxy.

There’s a fox in my neighborhood, and I’ve only seen it once at night. It’s probably the height -- but not even close to the weight -- of Dakota (who by the way is 55 pounds).

Laura called me at work yesterday morning. She told me she saw the fox chase our next-door neighbor’s cat, Hank, up a tree. Hank is a really friendly cat, and he’s only been living here a couple of weeks with my neighbor, Allison. Laura called me to tell me about it and that the fox was waiting for the cat to come down from the tree. I told her to get Dakota on the leash and have her scare the fox. She called me later and told me it worked, but the cat, Hank, was still in the tree, meowing and shaking. I guess he eventually got down, because when I got home from work, Hank was outside to greet me. I’m telling you, he’s an insanely nice cat, and that’s me saying that; I’m not a cat person, and I’m allergic to some cats.

I left a note for Allison telling her what happened, and she left a thank-you note on the front door for me, Laura, and Dakota (who she called a hero, hehehe). I told another neighbor about it, and she’s thinking maybe we should get our HOA to call animal control. Anyway, that’s the excitement in my ’hood for, oh, the year.
