You Meet All Sorts of New and Different Friends as a Realtor

     There are many things that I love about being a Realtor in Douglas County, Oregon. Discovering new friends is one of the many plusses of the career. This recent batch of  friends I  happened to stumble upon during my many trips to and from my listings. Along the road of one of my rural sites, I came upon a den of  red fox. This litter seems large to me--six kits in all. They crawl up an 8 inch drain pipe under the road and play on the road in the sunshine. Trouble is, they are so small they have no fear. I have to stop my car and slowly move along so they won't get smashed. They have slowed me down many times, mainly because I like to sit there and watch them play. It has been fun watching them grow. (No, I haven't been sitting there that long!) Mama fox has been feeding them well. I see bird feathers and various bones scattered about. One time a kit was chewing on a bone in a feather pile. So they are definitely predators. I look forward to seeing them and worry they might get picked off by a red tail hawk, owl, eagle, etc. I have seen Mother Fox on occasion and she goes through the 8 inch drain pipe too. She must be all fluff with that long beautiful fur. Here is a picture I took at dusk with a flash of one of these little baby kits. Pretty soon they will get bored with me and disappear into adulthood. But for now, we are enjoying each other.
