All built to keep out "others".  Is that who we are? America, where our motto has been

"Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Let us not build walls of exclusion. Build roads to compromise. Let us not build walls to divide. Build roads to unite.

Foxey Loxey

Our handsome fox was hurt (by a car?) and was in our drive last Wednesday.

His front paw is injured. He sat with his friend the feral cat for a while.

He sat around in the sun for quite a while before heading off to the front yard.

 

We called an animal rehab guy, but he got here too late to see Foxey.  If you are local and see him please call Buck Taylor at 703.615.4812 or 703.440.0800.
