Outfoxed?

Remember the story from a few post ago about my neighbor who was going to trap the fox that was/is eating her pears and shoot it? Well, the truth is that I saw some fox kits yesterday. So, today I said to her: "that fox that you want to kill has kits just so you know." She asked me where I'd seen 'em and that was the end of out conversation. I got the sense and, also knowing her the little that I do, that she won't kill the fox now. I'm so grateful those little kits popped into view yesterday. Phew.....
