San Francisco is a small sprawling city, and true we do have, thankfully Golden Gate park which runs quite a bit all the way to the Pacific ocean, but believe it or not, there are some wild life that finds itself in the city. I have seen Raccoon, skunks, wild Rabbits, and believe it or not, I spotted a FOX running out of someone's drive way. I have never seen a fox before! (well, I am a city girl, ya'know!) but, yeah, it was a real live fox running for its life, across a busy street right out in the Avenues of San Francisco. I guess maybe it lives in golden gate Park, (after all we have Buffalo grazing there!) This also was far, far from the San Francisco Zoo, where there are, I would imagine, plenty of wild life, including those that are not native to this Country. Always wondered how many monkeys escape the ZOO each year and find their way into the city. That would be interesting for sure!

during the lead up to our 1st 49er Super Bowl win, I was sitting in our season ticket seats at Candlestick, when I saw people begin to jump up from their seats as if doing the "wave".

But I found out shortly that it was a fox running around the stadium upper tiers. It stayed on that level the entire 1st half. It was so tiny and so scared, poor thing.

Yet I understood every sentiment of the cute little caretaker. The language of the foxes is even easier to translate.

Thank you Old Crow!

What beautiful babies. Head trauma can take months to recover from. I had a beautiful and sweet brindled Plott hound who showed up here with head trauma...no collar. Never found his owner. Took him to the vet and they said just give it time. They thought he'd been choked by jumping out the back of a truck he was tied into. I had him for four months before I felt safe re-homing him. It took that long for him to lose all of the dizzies. He was a great dog, but I have no fences and I won't keep an animal that has to be caged or chained, so he went to a hunter. Plott hounds are the best hunting dogs. I have very fond memories of him. I love and miss that hound howl.

I never took a picture of him, but this is what they look like.

I too was afraid to see this video before I read the comments. The initial photo appears gruesome.

Such a joy to see the results of so many loving people into the playful success of Tammy and Todd.
