Strange how things happen. Gorse Fox arrived home yesterday and whilst catching up on the news from Silver Vixen was surprised to see a small dog chasing a fox around and around the front garden. Things settled down and we sat down for supper, only to be distracted by a hedgehog wandering across the back lawn. All was well.
This morning Mellors spotted the hedgehog again. By now he was limping (the hedgehog, not Mellors) and it was clear that he had been injured. Silver Vixen leapt into action (leaping may conjure an exaggerated picture of activity, to be fair) and sought the nearest vet or animal hospital. By the time contact had been made and advice provided, the hedgehog had disappeared.
Eventually the spiky chap reappeared, was boxed up and carted off for treatment. Again, all is well.
