For a few days this week, I have had a little visitor. His name is Dougal, he is a mini foxy and he lives a few houses down from me. I was walking past his house on Tuesday and saw he was out of his yard, I put him back over the fence and sternly told him to stay!! About 20 minutes later I heard a knock at my front door and upon investigating, there sat little Dougal, wagging his tail and looking all confident. He had managed to follow my scent home!! Well, the cheeky thing was here all afternoon on Tuesday and yesterday, he and I hung out together, both in my office and back at his place where I managed to take a few photos of him.
I tried to keep him in his own yard by blocking up the holes I found along the fence line but he is very clever and would just dig another hole and make his way down to me so I figured he wanted the company (and I was feeling a bit the same). In the end, I took him home but had to tie him up. Though I made sure he couldn't snag himself on anything and he had access to water, but being the big softy I am, I had to go and check on him after a while to make sure he was ok. He was, so we played ball for a short time before he went back on the lead.
I haven't seen him today and I know his mum has gone to work so it seems like the problem is solved. I kind of miss him though, my little buddy while I sat at the computer. Might have to go down and see him later this afternoon and play some ball with him again :)
