Have You Ever Seen A Fox Copulate?

I have been lamenting the fact that my life is so boring and pathetic that I have had nothing to write about. Sure, there was the baklava disaster. Yeah, there was me at 11:30 p.m on Christmas Eve realizing that Santa had brought presents for the kids, but I had not.

Then, when you least expect it, material presents itself.

This morning, I strode into the living room in my half-awake disheveled sort of way to find my husband and 3 sons looking out the window. What could be so interesting? 2 foxes in the neighbor's driveway. Oh, ok. Woo hoo. Where's my diet coke?

Then my husband hands me my camera with the zoom lens on and says, "look what they are doing."

Oh.

Are you kidding me?

My kids are looking at this!

My 14 and 12-year olds cannot seem to squelch their laughter. Meanwhile, my 10-year old is innocently exclaiming, "Look, mom, their butts are stuck together."


2009. Things are looking up!

I can honestly say I have never seen that. Hmmm. Ya learn something new every day. And factually speaking the youngest one appears to be correct!

Thanks for stopping by IG, I'm happy to be of service. New Year and things have to change! Cheers!

(And Archibald Cox? You took a class with him? Wow. That is some serious geek cred! I bow to you, madam!)

Thanks Irish. I love being known as a geek! The other day I was at a party and someone told a woman that I was a lawyer and she literally gasped. I didn't know whether to be insulted or flattered!

Archibald was very cool. Scared the holy living crap out of me, but it was worth it to hear his stories about Watergate. Priceless class!

Your welcome! You know, my dad always told me I was going to be a lawyer or a politician because "I'd argue with the devil himself!"

Ha! I showed him, I became an ARCHITECT! (sigh) Maybe I should have listened to him...

What good ever came from listening to our fathers!

Ewe. Clearly having sons, instead of daughters, has rendered you less of a "priss" then your older sister.

That just looks wrong. Flat out WRONG!

I think I've just been traumatised. I'm gonna have to work out my "feelings" with dolls again tonight. Wait, then I will have to relive it. I'm screwed!

i live in an area with A LOT of foxes...and have done all my life- but i had no idea they had sex like that.
Well bugger me backwards...( in fact, isn't that what they re doing?)
SH xxx

Char, once I realized what those buggers were doing, my focus was on trying to answer Brody's comment about the butts being stuck together, (which he did repeatedly). Try explaining that!

But yes, boys expose you to a new level of disgustingness. They never cease to disgust,I mean, surprise me!

They don't start like that, sheesh what planet are you folks from...Remember when male dogs had balls...think that ended in the
90s or so...but if you ever had a male dog in didn't see him end up like this eventually then he probably was nuedered. They kinda do a spin move to release and if it doesn't work out then end up like this...just squirt them with a hose they will figure out how to release...its the female that is holding on...wink..
