>>I'm sitting in my office, looking out at my front lawn, and a small fox just walked by. This isn't that odd, except that I'm in a highly-populated first-right suburb of Philadelphia, about 8 miles from Philly's City Hall as the crow flies.

>I had a similar experience a couple of years ago. It had been about 20 years since I had last seen a fox around here. One night, my wife and I were out walking and our dog froze in her tracks... ahead about 50 yards stood a tall, thin fox in the middle of the street. It paused briefly to notice us, then went loping off on its merry way.

We often see foxes round here. A few months ago, coming home from choir practice, passing a block of flats, one of my companions said, "I usually see a fox round about here". Sure enough, seconds later there was one reposing on a grass sward nearby. The neat beautiful park near us I often see one slipping thro' the railings. Once walking through at night I thought I saw a corgi dog lying on the grass. I got within yards and the fox just watched me pass. We used to have "Shakespeare in the Park" in May, and bring pickernick baskets (well, plazzy bags). Once, while watching the play someone heard her bag rustling next to her. She looked round to see a fox with its nose in it. We're talking a crowd of people lounging on the grass here!

I once got home and found one in my favourite chair, watching children's TV and lapping a saucer of Jack Daniel's - no wait ... that was a dream, wasn't it?
