Baby Fox say what?!
Jenny had just finished cooking up some yummy pancakes when I’m walking near the back door and hear some yelping. Hum. That’s weird. It sounded weird, ya know, different. So I open the door and what do I see but a baby fox! He’s yelping up a storm – apparently wanting some of Jenny’s delish pancakes. I move slowly down the stairs to check him out for injuries and he goes scurring off under the neighbor’s porch. Hum, well he’s not injured obviously.
Note: We did finally figure out that it was a baby Fox – elliptical eyes and the 3 series yelps are the give-aways.
I called my friend at the Brenton Arboretum and Kay gave me the details to get ahold of Dallas County Wildlife Conservation to rescue the little pup. But they’re not answering on Sunday. So, Jen and I are keeping an eye on the little cutie until tomorrow. Jen got these awesome pics while I was making with the fox mommy calls – I have mad fly yelping skills yo.

Cool pictures. He or She is sooo cute!! Make sure you wear gloves when and if you plan on handling the coyote. You do not want the smell of human scent on the coyote. It may not be abandon. Sure it is a coyote not a fox? Love and miss you Cyndi
Good question about coyote or fox! I dunno off hand. There are coyote’s at the back of the property that hang out around the train tracks – you can hear them at night – freaky but cool. Anywho, I’ll have to do some research on that. Love ya!
*Alrighty, after some research — def fox pup. Little dude must have heard his pack calling last night and/or they came to fetch him. Looked under the porch and all around the yard but no little dude.
