National Fox Day.
3 years ago
Hello Fellow FA Artists, Writers, Crafters, Photographers, Costumed Performers and fox fans everywhere.
I just found out this morning that according to Procyon Wildlife, a Canadian Wildlife preservation organization, that September 17th is National Fox Day. So, show your appreciation for all things Vulpine, and celebrate your favorite foxies in any way you choose for the day. Draw, sketch, write, sculpt, or share photos or stories featuring foxes and their friends. Go a little wild and depict these furbearing canines in the forests or the city, or perhaps enjoying a night on the town. (Pray that the gibbous moon will give enough light.)
I've always thought that it was more than a coincidence that Red Foxes are always decked out in Autumn Colors all the year around. How perfect for hiding amongst the ripe pumpkins or standing in a pile of freshly fallen leaves. A quick splash of Auburn against a gray, rain wet street, or something gray, red and black hiding amongst the woodpiles might hint a fox is about. Also, look to the trees for the Gray foxes. They're the only species of canines that can rotate their front paws, which comes in "Handy" for climbing trees.
Consider the Arctic foxes and their color changing abilities. (No. I haven't forgotten about Meg Alopex.) Let's celebrate the species of canines that have adapted and thrive in almost every environment in the known world. From the diminutive, large eared Desert Fennec to the giant "Foxes on Stilts" misnamed the "Maned Wolf" that live on the Pampas of South America. Maybe even that favorite stuffed toy fox sitting on the bed or the couch. However it is done, find some time to appreciate these Various Vulpines today.
"Peace."

They are wonderful critters.
I have been blessed to have them living around me in many of the places I've been.
One of the foxes, named Finnegan is known for his happy noises which goes "He He He."

I notice you say National Fox Day and got it from a Canadian group. That would be mean it's a Canadian observance. xD Still, nothing says we can't make it international. Foxes deserve all the celebration.
-Ever read of him?
Canidae is the family within the Caniformia Suborder. Caninae (a/k/a canines), are one of the the three sub-families within Canidae, and within Caninae are various divisions, which would include: canina (wolf-like canines), Cerdocyonina (South American canines, including the maned wolf), Vulpini (the fox-like canines), and Uroycon (the grey foxes).
So foxes are both Canids AND Canines. They belong to the Canid family, and the Canine sub-family within the canid family.
yes i went there! Happy Fox Day Roy. ;D
Here's to my "Noisy Neighbors" who also are trying to imitate the "Johnny Weissmuller" Tarzan yell I play for them upon occasion.
Yeah. I'm not sure we have more sensitive hearing but when compared to domestic dogs, I think it might be familiarity more than anything. City dogs hear those sounds all the time and so might just put them on 'ignore mode' even if the sound has the same effect. I know our wolf brothers have great vocal range and hearing as well and might even be better since they use it far more than we do. We don't pack so we 'howl' when we're seekin out other coyotes but not as a general everyday method of communication. And we're not much into barking so our singing is how we message.

if shipping foreign from germany wasn't so paint-gulping-pricey I'd send you the other one, even though the goggles frame is deteriorating by now. but repairable I think.
