I have a pretty big backyard, and it’s been normal to see things like deer take a meandering walk through it. Plus we have moles in the front yard (those are not so kind, sadly). However, today a new batch of critters was discovered to have taken residence in a big wood pile. According to my neighbor, a mother and her _nine_ foxlings have made their home right behind my house. :eek: I was brave enough to capture [two](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erw-yFBjaLw) [videos](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FuWA-hqbRI) of the viciously adorable beasties while the mother was away. I plan on watching the backyard a lot in the next few days to see if I can catch the mother, who apparently has a glorious red coat. ---

Wow! You’re so lucky to have such amazing creatures living so close. They’ll take care of the moles too. ---
