I like to think I have a pretty normal life. Then again, most people are probably sitting on the couch watching TV at 8:00 while I was with my husband. I know that sounds normal, but I didn't say what we were doing...
We were checking Fox traps...yes that's right! My husband is a avid rabbit hunter. We have hunting dogs the whole nine yards. It's something that he really enjoys to do. However the past few years it has been hard to find rabbits and that would be because of the Fox population. Foxes are everywhere, they are seriously over populated and they like to eat little bunnies for dinner. Therefore the rabbits have come pray to these little foxes and now there are not very many around. This makes it hard for Mark to go rabbit hunting. Several years ago Mark trapped, but after last year he decided it was time to start back. To give the rabbits a chance to multiply and make a come back in our little country eco system =)
So for all of you rolling your eyes go ahead and leave my blog. It's what you have to do to keep animal populations in check. The foxes are not hurt, and we do not kill them...so don't say we are cruel because that is NOT the case at all!!!!
I don't go with Mark to check traps all the time, but some nights I do when he has to go alone (just in case he needs help). Every time I go we never have any, but tonight was different.
Mark went to check a trap and called for me to come over. I couldn't believe it....low and behold a little fox (actually this was a big one). So I helped him get him out of the trap and he put him in the dog kennel.

Here is a picture of him in the kennel. Tomorrow he will go to a safe place where he can have a nice little life. I personally think Foxes are so cute, but they are not very nice. The first time Mark caught one I wanted to touch it and he told me to stick my finger in the kennel (joking) and I almost came back with one less finger...lesson learned!!!
So yeah...that's what I was doing tonight (LOL) what can I say I LOVE my husband!
