Back story is we have a family of foxes living under our decking, and have done for years. I love them and leave them alone. Today I needed to let my ex(rescue) greyhound out after his tea and one of the young ones was near the house. The fox eyed me and I eyed him. I was worried that my dog would spot the fox and get agitated, so the idea was that the fox would run off, without alerting the dog.
What happened was the stupid greyhound was totally oblivious to the fox and me and the fox were having a stare-off, with neither of us knowing who would allow the other one to disappear first.
