Miffy is . . . quite a character, and despite only having one eye, she rules the roost outside, but is very loving towards everyone.<br /><br />Em - it's not so much the mounted hunts which reduce the fox population locally, but the various foot hunts, who come through with 2 couple of hounds and lots of weasley-looking little men with shotguns. Hounds from one of these foot packs killed a fox on the A40 recently, causing great uproar as it was in full view of a bus-full of people . . .<br /><br />Parsnip - for 2 years she wouldn't let me touch her, but finally I got her confidence, using the schooling whip end (which has a little tickly tassle). I stroked her with that, from a distance, when she was eating, and gradually de-sensitized her. A sort of Monty Roberts Cat-Training Technique!<br /><br />Kath - plenty for them to eat round here, what with all the rabbits and the left-over birds from the Shoot next door. Plus one occasionally sees a dead sheep or even calf carcase on certain people's farms in this part of Wales. The knacker-man isn't always as prompt as one would wish him to be. Loved your friend's photos. You would think it ended up the other way round wouldn't you?Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-20295986821869353952013-03-20T08:31:48.920-07:002013-03-20T08:31:48.920-07:00What good luck that you had your camera to hand.

I love Miff...I thought the photos where wonderful. <br />I love Miffy, she wasn't going to take any garbage from anyone.<br />I see lots of wild animals where I live but so far no foxes. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-48993678827103226602013-03-19T06:51:57.647-07:002013-03-19T06:51:57.647-07:00Great photos!
