Yesterday, May 17, 2025 at approx 08:20 hrs I opened front door and put our dog on leash in front yard.
I took a few steps onto driveway only to spot a man across the street looking at our neighbhours house. I thought that was odd.
He looked at me and said "Be careful there is a Coyote" I responded "Where?" He said "In your front yard"
Instead of a Coyote it was a Red Fox under our front window. Startled now, the Fox advanced onto the grass from the flower
garden paused and had a look at our dog then bolted across the street and around the corner.
I suspect Mr. Fox was looking for the Baby bunnies. He wasn't far off as he ran
by the burrow during his escape. As for our ancient Dog, She hardly reacted even though Fox was closer than 8 feet.

p.s Fox was Beautiful and looked healthy
Bunnies are still growing in the burrow, mamma shows up at dusk
