We have had a strange occurrence at night over this last week. Late at night when we are in our beds we hear a vixen scream outside, as they always do, nothing new there or strange you might think,it always sets our dogs off in a mad rush to launch themselves through the dog flap into the garden for a 5 minute huffing and puffing session.
The strange thing is, Mum told me the other night she went to the window to shoo it off as it was making enough noise to wake the dead as well as our dogs and the vixen had a little dog following it around and acting exactly like the fox, she said it looked like a Springer Spaniel!
I thought she'd been at the bottle and took it with a pinch of salt, then last night the vixen started screaming again & mum came to tell me the dog was outside with it exactly like the night before. I have seen it too and the Springer is actually a jack russell ( her eyesight was never any good!)
It mooches around behind and sometimes infront of the vixen, only a few feet apart, they are quite at ease with each other and are acting like a pair.
After they had wandered off round the corner of the next road a man in shorts (1.30 am by now!) walked round after them, whether has was the owner of the Russell we don't know but now we have a fox being followed by a jack russell being followed by a human!
We can't help wondering what species will be next and join the queue!
If we look out tonight and see something else I will report back.
Whatever next, a deer or badger following the human!!
